Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert was targeted six times in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Washington Commanders. The third-year receiver secured four receptions for 98 yards, leading the team in both categories. Tolbert wrapped up the 2024 campaign with career highs across all metrics, as he grabbed 45 receptions for 512 yards and seven touchdowns on the season. The 25-year-old still has a year remaining on his rookie contract and will likely stick around as the Cowboys' WR3 going into 2025.
Jalen Tolbert A Dart-Throw Flex In Season's Finale
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert (finger) fully practiced all week, avoiding an injury designation prior to Week 18's matchup with the Washington Commanders. Tolbert slots in alongside Brandin Cooks to form the starting receiver group in the season's finale after scoring the team's lone touchdown a week ago. The third-year receiver has now caught a touchdown in four of the last six games and caught two passes for 22 yards and a score in the previous game against Washington. He can be started as a deep-league flex option but beware that he has a low floor given the uncertainty at quarterback with Trey Lance potentially due for significant snaps.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert scored the team's lone touchdown in Sunday's 41-7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Tolbert saw four targets in the contest, catching three balls for 30 yards and the score. He operated as a starter with CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) on the shelf and should start again in Week 18 against the Washington Commanders.
Jalen Tolbert, Jalen Brooks Both Active Against Eagles
Dallas Cowboys wide receivers Jalen Tolbert (finger) and Jalen Brooks (knee) are both active on Sunday to face the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17 after coming into the contest listed as questionable. Tolbert suffered a finger injury in last week's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night and was limited in practice all week. The 25-year-old will not only play against Philly, but he should have an expanded role in the passing attack with top wideout CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) shut down for the final two games of the 2024 season. Despite the expected increase in volume, Tolbert should still be considered a low-upside WR4/flex option for fantasy managers in deeper leagues against an Eagles secondary that has been stingy against receivers in 2024. Brooks should also have a bigger role for Dallas, but he's even riskier for fantasy purposes.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert (finger) was a limited participant in practice all week, entering Sunday's matchup with a questionable status. Given that he was able to practice all week, Tolbert should be good to suit up for the shorthanded Cowboys who will be missing star receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) for the remainder of the season. With Lamb out, the pecking order in the receiving room is questionable. Tolbert likely slots in behind veteran Brandin Cooks and tight end Jake Ferguson, putting him back on the fantasy radar. With that being said, he is a desperation flex option against Philadelphia's seventh-ranked secondary.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert (finger) was a limited participant in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It appears Tolbert is still dealing with the finger injury that forced him to exit early during last week's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tolbert is likely to see an increased role going forward with fellow wideout CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) done for the season. The 25-year-old has been quiet lately with two receptions or less in each of his last six games. There's some flex appeal here if Tolbert is able to suit up for this weekend's matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Jalen Tolbert Snags Another Touchdown In Win Over Buccaneers
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert grabbed his sixth touchdown of the season in the team's surprising win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. This was the second consecutive game that Tolbert found the end zone as well. The 25-year-old registered two catches for 20 yards and a score on three targets which was just enough to make him a WR3 before the Monday Night game kicks off. Unfortunately, he suffered a dislocated finger and didn't return to the game in the second half, otherwise he may have added to his performance. He'll try to keep this streak alive against a tougher defense in the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17.
Jalen Tolbert Questionable To Return On Sunday Night
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert (finger) suffered a dislocated left finger in the first half in Sunday night's game against the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers and is questionable to return in the second half. Tolbert was undergoing X-rays at halftime and was late to come onto the field in the second. The good news for fantasy managers that started him in a flex spot in Week 16 is that he was able to find the end zone before injuring his finger. However, it came on only two catches on three targets for 20 yards. If Tolbert is unable to return on Sunday night or for the Week 17 contest against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles, rookie Ryan Flournoy and KaVontae Turpin would be battling for the No. 3 role in Dallas' offense alongside CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks. Tolbert entered Week 16 outside of the top 50 receivers in average half-PPR points per game in 2024.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert hauled in his fifth touchdown of the season in the 30-14 win over Carolina. The third-year receiver was targeted twice, catching his lone pass in the end zone for 11 yards. Tolbert's usage has not been consistent with both Brandin Cooks and Jake Ferguson in the lineup, keeping him off the fantasy radar for the time being.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert is coming off his worst performance of the season during last week's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Tolbert was held without a catch on three targets in the seven-point defeat. The 25-year-old has seen his playing time take a hit with Brandin Cooks returning to the field two weeks ago. Since then, Tolbert has seen less than 72 percent of the offensive snaps in each of the last two games. Tolbert has been held to two receptions or less in each of the last four games. It's tough to imagine Tolbert having reliable value going forward with Cooks and CeeDee Lamb both healthy.
