Who Should I Start? DeAndre Hopkins or Jalen Tolbert

Monday, December 8, 4:05 PM

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said on Monday that the team needs to get veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins more involved on offense, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. In a tough 27-22 loss to the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers to give up a share of first place in the AFC North division, Hopkins was unable to catch his only target on Sunday. The 13 snaps that the 33-year-old veteran played in Week 14 were his lowest snap total since Week 10. Instead, the Ravens leaned more on receivers Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, and tight ends Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews. It will be hard to trust Harbaugh's word going into Baltimore's Week 15 divisional clash against the Cincinnati Bengals, even though the matchup is a juicy one. Hopkins hasn't had more than four targets in a game in 2025 and hasn't found the end zone since Week 2.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert (coach's decision) and running back Jaydon Blue (coach's decision) are healthy scratches for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. Both players will be inactive. Tolbert had not previously missed a game this season, but his demotion is not necessarily a surprise, given that his snap share has been below 20% in each of the Cowboys' last three games. He has just 14 catches for 172 yards and one touchdown on offense, plus five kick returns on special teams. Ryan Flournoy and KaVontae Turpin should earn more opportunities in his absence. Meanwhile, Blue has been active for just four games during his rookie campaign, averaging 2.95 yards per carry. Dallas is carrying just two running backs (Javonte Williams and Malik Davis) into Sunday's game, as well as fullback Hunter Luepke.
