Did 'Madden 24' snub Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb in top 10 WR ratings?

While it's not a complete diss, it's surprising that Lamb didn't rank higher after a career year. In 17 games last season, the 24-year-old tied for fifth in receptions (107) and finished sixth in receiving yards (1,359.) He also bested Cooper and McLaurin in each category.

Although Dallas went 12-5 last season, its passing game, which finished 14th in passing yards last season, suffered from inconsistency. Quarterback Dak Prescott threw a league-leading 15 interceptions in 12 starts. Outside of Lamb, no Cowboys receiver crossed the 60-reception mark. So Lamb's impact shouldn't be understated.

"Lamb accounted for 30 percent of the Cowboys' receptions, which was the second-highest rate in the NFL," wrote Jordan Dajani of CBS Sports. "With that mark, he became the first Cowboy to record 30 percent of Dallas' catches in a season since [Pro Football Hall of Famer] Michael Irvin did so in 1995."

Although Dallas acquired WR Brandin Cooks this offseason, expect the Cowboys to continue to rely on Lamb. He's on an upward trajectory and is a valuable offensive component. 

As for the Madden ratings, it could change if Lamb plays at an elite level again. The game's ratings change throughout the regular season. 

Regardless, Lamb has a strong case as one of the 10 best wideouts in the NFL and could continue to strengthen it this season.
