CeeDee Lamb vs. Tyreek Hill: Who Will Have More Receiving Yards in Week 11?
By Thomas Snodgrass
The Dallas Cowboys face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11, and both defenses have been allowing a big chunk of passing yards per game this season. The Cowboys are allowing 270.1 passing yards per game, which is 23rd in the NFL and the Chiefs are allowing 269.2 passing yards per game, good for 22nd in the NFL.
Dak Prescott and Patrick Mahomes should have a decent number of yards in this contest, so which receiver will benefit the most? CeeDee Lamb or Tyreek Hill?
WynnBET Sportsbook has Lamb’s receiving yards prop set at 80.5 yards (Over -125/Under -115) and Hill’s receiving yards prop set at 87.5 yards (Over -125/Under -115).
Let’s take a look at how these receivers stack up statistically.

Hill has received a boatload of targets this season from Mahomes, crushing Lamb in targets. But Lamb could benefit from the absence of Amari Cooper in the lineup.
In recent weeks, the Chiefs’ defensive secondary have thwarted a few big passing game targets, halting Davante Adams of the Green Bay Packers (six catches for 42 yards on 14 targets) and Darren Waller of the Las Vegas Raiders (four catches for 24 yards on seven targets).
The story hasn’t been the same for the Cowboys as they struggled to stop Adam Thielen of the Minnesota Vikings, Tim Patrick and Jerry Jeudy of the Denver Broncos in Weeks 8 and 9. The lack of solid receiving options from the Atlanta Falcons helped Dallas record a 43-3 win in Week 10.
The Cowboys defensive secondary appears to be the weak point of a very strong football team, one that can be exploited by Patrick Mahomes and Tyreek Hill.
It seems that Lamb and Hill will both have solid games in Week 11, but Hill will most likely finish the game with more receiving yards.
