Who Should I Start? Jalen Tolbert or Michael Wilson

Wednesday, May 7, 1:22 PM

With the addition of wide receiver George Pickens via trade on Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys pass-catcher Jalen Tolbert will now operate as the team's No. 3 wideout in 2025 behind CeeDee Lamb and Pickens. Tolbert could also face competition from KaVontae Turpin for the role, but the 26-year-old should have the leg up for the WR3 job after a career year in 2024 in which he set career-highs in catches (49), targets (79), receiving yards (610) and touchdowns (seven) in 17 games (15 starts). Even in what should be a pass-happy Cowboys offense with quarterback Dak Prescott returning from his hamstring injury, Tolbert just won't have enough volume to make him worthy starting on a weekly basis in most fantasy leagues. However, if one of Lamb or Pickens misses time with an injury, Tolbert will be an attractive waiver-wire pickup.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson should be left on benches and waiver wires when his team takes on a stingy Seattle Seahawks pass defense in Week 4. The third-year pro has a meager three catches for 22 yards in three weeks and now goes against a Seahawks defense that has allowed the second-fewest points to fantasy wide receivers. The Cardinals' passing game hasn't exactly lit it up this season, but tight end Trey McBride has been by far their top pass-catching option with Marvin Harrison Jr. and Wilson both ranking outside of the top 40 among fantasy receivers. Managers should have much better options than Wilson this week.
