The Dallas Cowboys made a choice this offseason to forgo having a true number one wide receiver on their roster and instead adapted a receiver-by-committee approach. It was believed that quarterback Dak Prescott would find more success spreading the ball around rather than focusing on one or two main targets.
Through the Cowboys first six games, that experiment has been a failure. Dallas ranks 29th in passing yards per game with 172 yards a contest. And Prescott has posted career-lows in yards per game (190.7), completion percentage (62.0), and quarterback rating (85.5).
The Cowboys leading receiver is Cole Beasley, whose 26 catches are tied for 48th most in the NFL.
