Jalen Tolbert Secures Touchdown In Win

Sunday, December 15, 10:18 PM

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.

Brian Thomas Jr. A Top Fantasy Receiving Option Against Raiders

Friday, December 20, 11:38 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. is a must-start in Week 16 against the Las Vegas Raiders. In an otherwise awful year for the Jaguars offense, BTJ has been a lone bright spot. Last week against the New York Jets, he put up a whopping 10 catches for 105 yards and two touchdowns, making him one of the top fantasy receivers on the week, all with backup Mac Jones under center instead of starter Trevor Lawrence. The Raiders serve as an even easier option for fantasy receivers than the Jets, so it isn't crazy to think BTJ has the potential for a repeat performance. Even with more realistic expectations, BTJ has the upside and floor of a WR1 in Week 16 against the Raiders.
