Tyreek Hill and CeeDee Lamb are two of the three First-Team All-Pro wide receivers from last season. Leading the league in receiving yards helped them gain that personal achievement. Hill led all wideouts with 1,799 yards, while Lamb had 50 yards less.
In addition to having the most yards last season, they’ve been excellent in single coverage, as pointed out by Pro Football Focus. While Hill received a 94.3 PFF grade in single coverage, Lamb led the league with 55 receptions.

The Dallas Cowboys wideout also led the league in receiving yards against single coverage (924), while Hill was the co-leader with Mike Evans for touchdowns during one-on-one matchups.
These numbers highlight the importance of both players to their offense. Hill will be an invaluable asset for the Miami Dolphins until 2026, the final year of his four-year, $120 million contract. Conversely, Lamb and the Cowboys are working on a contract extension that could rival the top contracts in the market. He will play the 2024 season under the fifth-year option of his rookie scale contract.
