Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert (finger) suffered a dislocated left finger in the first half in Sunday night's game against the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers and is questionable to return in the second half. Tolbert was undergoing X-rays at halftime and was late to come onto the field in the second. The good news for fantasy managers that started him in a flex spot in Week 16 is that he was able to find the end zone before injuring his finger. However, it came on only two catches on three targets for 20 yards. If Tolbert is unable to return on Sunday night or for the Week 17 contest against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles, rookie Ryan Flournoy and KaVontae Turpin would be battling for the No. 3 role in Dallas' offense alongside CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks. Tolbert entered Week 16 outside of the top 50 receivers in average half-PPR points per game in 2024.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert hauled in his fifth touchdown of the season in the 30-14 win over Carolina. The third-year receiver was targeted twice, catching his lone pass in the end zone for 11 yards. Tolbert's usage has not been consistent with both Brandin Cooks and Jake Ferguson in the lineup, keeping him off the fantasy radar for the time being.
Dec 15, 2024 10:18 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert is coming off his worst performance of the season during last week's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Tolbert was held without a catch on three targets in the seven-point defeat. The 25-year-old has seen his playing time take a hit with Brandin Cooks returning to the field two weeks ago. Since then, Tolbert has seen less than 72 percent of the offensive snaps in each of the last two games. Tolbert has been held to two receptions or less in each of the last four games. It's tough to imagine Tolbert having reliable value going forward with Cooks and CeeDee Lamb both healthy.
Dec 15, 2024 9:40 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert is likely headed for a reduced rule in Week 13 now that Brandin Cooks (knee) is healthy and returning to the lineup. Tolbert had previously been operating as the Cowboys' No. 2 receiver, delivering modest production at best, and now he's dropping to the No. 3 role behind CeeDee Lamb and Cooks. The 25-year-old has two touchdowns over his last four games but hasn't surpassed three catches in a single contest since Week 6. He can be avoided in most leagues as he takes on the New York Giants this Thursday.
Nov 28, 2024 12:50 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert recorded a touchdown in the third quarter of the exciting 34-26 win over the Washington Commanders. Tolbert was targeted four times, catching two passes for 22 yards and the touchdown. He was fifth on the team in receiving on a day where quarterback Cooper Rush spread the ball around. Tolbert will remain a touchdown-dependent flex option going forward, although the return of Brandin Cooks (knee) could further muddy his usage.
Nov 24, 2024 8:54 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert has not had more than four receptions since Week 5 and has also only recorded one touchdown in that span, but the third-year receiver could be back on the fantasy radar on Sunday as the Cowboys take on the Washington Commanders. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (back, shoulder) is banged up and could miss the contest, while tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion) is unlikely to play. Brandin Cooks (knee) is trending towards returning, meaning he and Tolbert could be the top two pass catchers for quarterback Cooper Rush on Sunday. Even if Lamb is ruled out, Tolbert remains a deep league dart throw given that it is unclear how the passing volume would shake out.
Nov 22, 2024 1:18 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert caught just two of his five targets for 21 yards during Monday's loss to the Houston Texans. The 25-year-old posted double-digit fantasy points (PPR) in four of his first eight games this year, initially giving him some low-end WR3/FLEX appeal. However, ever since Cooper Rush has taken over for Dak Prescott (hamstring), Tolbert has fallen off the fantasy radar. He continues to play north of 90 percent of the Cowboys' offensive snaps but has just five catches for 35 yards over his last two games combined. Tolbert can be benched in fantasy leagues with 14 teams or fewer.
Nov 19, 2024 1:13 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert has been quiet on the field over the last few weeks. The loss of quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) has downgraded this entire offensive unit. Last week, Tolbert hauled in three of his five targets for 14 yards in the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. It's worth noting that Tolbert has seen five or more targets in four of his last five games. His involvement in the offense should remain steady especially with CeeDee Lamb (back) banged up heading into Monday's game against the Houston Texans. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect much from Tolbert with Cooper Rush under center for Dallas. Tolbert should be viewed as a low-end flex option for Week 11.
Nov 17, 2024 9:34 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert struggled along with the rest of the offense in the 34-6 loss to Philadelphia. The third-year receiver was targeted five times, catching three receptions for 14 yards. Tolbert has fallen off of the fantasy radar with quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) likely done for the year, as Cooper Rush and Trey Lance have not proven to be capable of supporting multiple pass catchers from a fantasy perspective.
Nov 11, 2024 12:55 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert scored a touchdown in last week's loss, connecting with backup quarterback Cooper Rush late in the game. Week 10's matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles is not an easy one, with wide receivers scoring the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game against Philadelphia's secondary. CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) has been a limited participant in practice this week and is trending towards playing, meaning Tolbert is not guaranteed a safe target volume. He should not be started this week with Cooper Rush under center.
Nov 8, 2024 10:56 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert hauled in a touchdown reception from backup quarterback Cooper Rush late in the game on Sunday. Dallas wound up falling 27-21 to the Atlanta Falcons despite the fourth-quarter touchdown. Tolbert was targeted six times, but only hauled in three receptions for 19 yards along with the score. If CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) misses any time, Tolbert would near must-start territory. For now, the third-year receiver remains a touchdown-dependent flex option.
Nov 4, 2024 9:22 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert has seen his production decline during the team's two-game losing streak (averaging 3.5 catches, 43.5 yards, zero touchdowns), but he has a solid opportunity to bounce back against a below-average Atlanta Falcons passing defense in Week 9. Coming off a three-catch, 44-yard performance in which he was massively outperformed by CeeDee Lamb, Tolbert could capitalize on an Atlanta defense that particularly struggles to defend perimeter receivers. Still, given how Tolbert has underperformed over the last few weeks, it will be tough to trust him as anything more than a WR3/FLEX play in Week 9. He ranks just outside the top 36 fantasy receivers at the moment.
Nov 1, 2024 12:45 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert was targeted three times in the comeback loss against San Francisco on Sunday night. Tolbert caught all three targets for 44 yards, making minimal fantasy impact. With CeeDee Lamb (45%) taking a massive target share, Tolbert will likely remain a touchdown-dependent deep flex option going forward.
Oct 28, 2024 1:42 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert remains a deep league flex option heading into Week 8's Sunday night matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. Dallas looks to continue to lean on the passing game, making Tolbert the second or third option for quarterback Dak Prescott. San Francisco boasts the 11th-ranked defense against opposing receivers, creating a tough matchup for Tolbert. He can be started in desperation, but there are better options for WR3 and flex spots.
Oct 25, 2024 10:44 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert proved that he is locked into the WR2 role in the offense after his big Week 5 game in the 47-9 loss to Detroit. Tolbert was targeted five times, securing four receptions for 43 yards. He finished second on the team in receiving behind CeeDee Lamb on a day where the Cowboys' offense struggled to get anything going. Tolbert will remain a matchup-dependent flex option for as long as Brandin Cooks (knee) remains out. The Cowboys are off in Week 7 before a Week 8 matchup with San Francisco.
Oct 14, 2024 10:55 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys receiver Jalen Tolbert is coming off of the best game of his career in which he caught the game-winning pass against Pittsburgh. Tolbert is a strong flex option in Week 6's matchup with the Detroit Lions. Detroit's tough run defense will only lead Dallas to lean even heavier into the pass, creating plenty of opportunities for Tolbert to get involved with Brandin Cooks (knee) on injured reserve. Tolbert solidified himself as Dallas' WR2 last week and is a safe start with a high ceiling in a potential shootout this week.
Oct 11, 2024 10:57 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys third-year receiver Jalen Tolbert had the best game of his young career on Sunday night in the win over Pittsburgh. Tolbert led the team in targets, receptions, and receiving yards. He caught seven of 10 targets for 87 yards and a touchdown. The 25-year-old's touchdown came at the most opportune time, as he hauled in a four-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Dak Prescott with just 20 seconds remaining on the clock to take a 20-17 lead. Playing in a full-time role with Brandin Cooks (knee) sidelined, Tolbert showed that he is capable of high-end production as Dallas' number two receiver. He should be rostered as a depth option in most formats heading into Week 6's matchup with the Detroit Lions.
Oct 7, 2024 11:07 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert should see an expanded role on Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Brandin Cooks (knee) has been ruled out, opening up an every-down role for the 25-year-old. Tolbert has 13 receptions for 160 yards and a touchdown through four games. He recorded a season-high nine targets and 82 yards against Baltimore in Week 3. While Pittsburgh's secondary (8th against opposing receivers) is no easy matchup, Dallas has gotten little production out of their rushing attack this season and has been forced to lean on the pass. Tolbert should see targets on Sunday, making him a flex candidate with many bye weeks and injuries limiting available options.
Oct 4, 2024 12:33 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys receiver Jalen Tolbert was involved in the offense again on Sunday in the 28-25 loss to Baltimore. Tolbert saw five targets come his way in the comeback attempt. The 2022 third-round pick secured three receptions for 45 yards and his first touchdown of the season. Tolbert split time as Dallas' third receiver with returner KaVontae Turpin and second-year Jalen Brooks. He is an intriguing stash in fantasy, but cannot be trusted in lineups as of right now.
Sep 22, 2024 11:10 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys receiver Jalen Tolbert is coming off of a career-best performance in which he secured six receptions for 82 yards in the blowout loss to New Orleans. However, Jake Ferguson (knee) is expected to return this week, which could limit Tolbert's role in the offense. Ferguson and CeeDee Lamb (ankle) are both banged up but expected to play, limiting Tolbert's short-term usage. The third-year receiver is an intriguing stash in deep leagues with the offense searching for a tertiary playmaker behind Lamb and Ferguson, but cannot be trusted in lineups with an unproven workload this week against Baltimore.
