Who Should I Start? Britain Covey or Jalen Tolbert

Saturday, October 7, 1:03 AM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Britain Covey (concussion) is listed as questionable heading into Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. The 26-year-old was removed from the Eagles' Week 4 victory over the Washington Commanders after taking a blow to the head and entered the concussion protocol the following day. He did not practice to start the week, but his availability improved as the week progressed logging a limited practice on Thursday and a full practice on Friday. His status for Week 5 is still uncertain. Covey sees little work for Philadelphia's offense but is the team's primary punt returner.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert, who worked as the team's No. 4 wideout in his second season in 2023, is expected to have a bigger role in 2024 alongside CeeDee Lamb and veteran Brandin Cooks. Tolbert essentially split offensive snaps with Michael Gallup last year, but Gallup is now in Las Vegas. In 17 regular-season games (six starts) last year, Tolbert caught 22 of his 36 targets for 268 yards and two touchdowns after recording just two receptions in his rookie campaign in 2022. The 25-year-old former third-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft out of South Alabama won't necessarily be worth drafting in standard-sized fantasy leagues this fall, but if Lamb or Cooks go down with an injury at any point, Tolbert would become a popular waiver-wire pickup.
