Who Should I Start? Jalen Tolbert or DeMario Douglas

Tuesday, October 28, 10:01 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert has been a modest producer so far this season, recording 14 catches for 172 yards and a touchdown on 24 targets across eight games played. Tolbert's playing time and target share have been trending downwards in recent weeks. After earning 18 targets over his first four games of 2025, Tolbert has been targeted just six times over his four most recent contests. Tolbert was always projected to be behind star wideouts CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens on the Dallas depth chart. However, Tolbert was also out-snapped by both Ryan Flournoy and KaVontae Turpin in the Cowboys' Week 8 loss to the Denver Broncos. When Lamb was sidelined by an ankle injury from Weeks 4-6, Tolbert was largely outplayed by Flournoy. Even if Lamb or Pickens were to get injured, Tolbert may now still find it difficult to get on the field. He should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in redraft leagues.

New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas isn't expected to see an increase in volume despite Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) being ruled out for a second consecutive week. Douglas caught just two passes on a 21 percent snap share with Boutte sidelined last Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, so he should handle similar volume on Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets in Week 11. The 24-year-old has been a solid depth contributor this year, but it appears that he's firmly entrenched behind Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and Kyle Williams in the pecking order. Fantasy managers should leave Douglas on the bench or the waiver wire this week.
