Who Should I Start? Dontay Demus Jr. or Jalen Tolbert

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Dontay Demus Jr. turned in a couple of big plays during the team's loss in their final preseason matchup. The 22-year-old rookie out of Maryland finished with 86 yards while catching two out of his three targets. Demus had to put everything on display to grab one the final remaining receiver spots on the team. His competition at the end of the bench isn't the best, so he had a real shot. He turned that into a big 47-yard catch when Anthony Brown was scrambling away from pressure and another 39-yard grab as well. While Demus didn't score, he did at least show some big play ability and an ability to get open to extend plays.

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.
