Who Should I Start? Jalen Tolbert or Rashid Shaheed

Saturday, October 11, 12:47 AM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert is not a reliable fantasy option for Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers. While Tolbert experienced a short stint of fantasy relevance with CeeDee Lamb (ankle) sidelined, he has lost significant allure after seemingly being supplanted by Ryan Flournoy. Last week, Tolbert had one target and zero catches on a 77 percent snap share while Flournoy had nine targets, six catches, and 114 yards on a 57 percent snap share. The latter has earned additional snaps going forward, while Tolbert is seemingly no longer a dependable target in Dak Prescott's offense. Tolbert should drop to third on the depth chart this week behind Flournoy and George Pickens, keeping him off the fantasy radar in most leagues. Managers can drop him to waivers and find a different receiver with a more consistent role and greater upside.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed is reportedly available for trade ahead of the deadline. The Saints don't appear willing to move Chris Olave, but Shaheed can be moved for the right price. Coming into Week 8, Shaheed has 30 receptions for 356 receiving yards with two touchdowns. The 27-year-old is set to be a free agent after this season. He's not a No.1 wideout, but could still help a contending organization in need of a wideout. His fantasy value would likely rise on a better offense.
