Who Should I Start? Velus Jones or Jalen Tolbert

Sunday, December 10, 12:14 PM

Chicago Bears wide receivers Velus Jones Jr. (illness) and Tyler Scott (hamstring) are officially active for Week 14 versus the Detroit Lions. They had been listed as questionable. Jones has been disappointing in his second pro season, amassing just three catches for nine yards. Meanwhile, Scott has 10 catches for 81 yards. Neither player belongs on the fantasy radar this Sunday.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert, who worked as the team's No. 4 wideout in his second season in 2023, is expected to have a bigger role in 2024 alongside CeeDee Lamb and veteran Brandin Cooks. Tolbert essentially split offensive snaps with Michael Gallup last year, but Gallup is now in Las Vegas. In 17 regular-season games (six starts) last year, Tolbert caught 22 of his 36 targets for 268 yards and two touchdowns after recording just two receptions in his rookie campaign in 2022. The 25-year-old former third-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft out of South Alabama won't necessarily be worth drafting in standard-sized fantasy leagues this fall, but if Lamb or Cooks go down with an injury at any point, Tolbert would become a popular waiver-wire pickup.
