Who Should I Start? Jalen Tolbert or Marvin Mims Jr.

Sunday, October 5, 8:39 AM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert has been seeing an increased role in the offense over the last few weeks. In the last two games, Tolbert has hauled in seven of his 12 targets for 85 yards. The 26-year-old has played over 80 percent of the offensive snaps during those games. The absence of CeeDee Lamb (ankle) has helped Tolbert, but it hasn't given him great fantasy value. Tolbert is worth a stash in deep leagues at the minimum. He should be considered a low-end flex option for the upcoming Week 5 matchup against the New York Jets.

After dealing with hip and ankle injuries throughout practice this week, Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (hip, ankle) has been cleared and doesn't carry an injury designation against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Mims will look to stay hot coming off a six-catch outing for 69 yards with a 16-yard rush attempt for a touchdown on top of that. While the Eagles' 15th-ranked pass defense might be forced to focus more on Courtland Sutton, Mims will have a chance to flash while he takes the field for what seems to be a consistent trend of 40-50% of the offensive snaps. Although incredibly efficient with his offensive snaps, Mims can't yet be trusted as more than a boom/ bust flex option going into Week 5.
