Who Should I Start? Jalen Tolbert or Tre Tucker

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.

Through nine games this season, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker has recorded 34 catches for 455 yards and four touchdowns. With wideout Jakobi Meyers no longer with the Raiders after being traded at the deadline, Tucker profiles as the WR1 and number two pass-catcher behind tight end Brock Bowers in Las Vegas. Tucker's first game without Meyers in Week 10 was underwhelming, as he recorded just two catches for 28 yards on three targets against the Denver Broncos. However, Tucker now gets a significantly easier matchup in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys. Through 10 weeks, the Dallas defense ranks 30th in yards per pass attempt allowed (8.2) and 31st in touchdown passes allowed (22). Tucker should be heavily involved in the Raiders' Week 11 game plan, which could create plenty of opportunities for production. He profiles as a low-end fantasy WR3 in Week 11 against Dallas.
