Cons
Allen Lazard’s receiving reliability have diminished this season, with his Completion% falling off from 69.9% to 62.6%.
The Dallas Cowboys defense has yielded the 5th-least receiving yards per game in the NFL (just 130.0) to WRs this year.
The Dallas Cowboys pass defense has displayed good efficiency versus wideouts this year, conceding 7.38 yards-per-target to the position: the 6th-least in the NFL.
The Dallas Cowboys linebackers rank as the 2nd-best collection of LBs in the NFL this year in covering receivers.
The Green Bay Packers O-line has given their quarterback a measly 2.44 seconds before the pass (3rd-worst in the league since the start of last season), which has a harmful effect on all air attack stats across the board.
