Jalen Tolbert Is A Deep League Option In Week 5

Friday, October 4, 12:33 PM

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.

Charlie Jones Activated From Injured Reserve

Thursday, November 16, 7:13 PM

The Cincinnati Bengals officially activated wide receiver Charlie Jones (thumb) from Injured Reserve on Thursday, and he will be active for Thursday Night Football against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals also elevated receiver Shedrick Jackson from the practice squad to the active roster with Tee Higgins (hamstring) missing a second straight game. Jones had been on IR since Sept. 29. The 25-year-old will merely provide receiver depth behind Ja'Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd and Trenton Irwin with rookie Andrei Iosivas (knee) also unavailable due to injury. Jones caught one pass for six yards in his first three NFL games before getting hurt.
