5 bold predictions as streaking Cowboys face Cardinals in Week 3
• The legend of Brandon Aubrey grows
• CeeDee Lamb proves he's a top-5 wideout

2. CeeDee Lamb records 200 yards receiving
After holding the Giants' offense down throughout the first half, the Cardinals' defense completely fell apart in the final 30 minutes. New York wound up scoring all 31 points in the second half with Daniel Jones finishing with 321 yards and two touchdowns through the air.
If Jones can put up those numbers with Jalin Hyatt and Darren Waller as his top targets, imagine what Dak Prescott will be able to do with CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup, and hopefully Brandin Cooks (who missed Week 2 with an injury).
Just about every player that Prescott has targeted has delivered this season but none have done as well as CeeDee Lamb. The fourth-year wideout had 77 yards on four receptions in Week 1, which was impressive considering the offense was starting to kill the clock with the game out of reach before halftime.
Against the New York Jets — who have a very good defense — Lamb was even more impressive. He wound up pulling in 11 receptions for 143 yards. That was against Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed, who might be the best duo in the NFL.
This week, Lamb will face off against Marco Wilson or Kei'Trel Clark throughout the game and he has a huge upper hand against both. That's why it wouldn't be a surprise to see him not only record his first touchdown of the year but also top 200 yards through the air.
