• Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Career-best performance in loss

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Tolbert caught six of nine targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 44-19 loss to the Saints. The third-year wideout led the Cowboys in targets on the afternoon, and his receptions and yardage were both career highs. Tolbert had a quiet performance in the team's opener, but his usage Sunday dwarfed Brandin Cooks, who saw only two targets, and is a good sign that the 2022 third-round pick could be headed for a breakout campaign. Tolbert will attempt to build on this effort in Week 3 against the Ravens.

• Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Held out of preseason

  22D ago • By RotoWire

  Tolbert didn't suit up for any of Dallas' preseason contests this year. Dak Prescott and the rest of the team's first-string players were kept out of the preseason entirely, with Tolbert counting among that group. The 2022 third-round pick could be poised for a big role to begin the season with CeeDee Lamb still holding out and Brandin Cooks (knee) not 100 percent, as Tolbert looks to build on the 22-268-2 line on 36 targets he compiled over 17 regular-season games last year.

• Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Shining in camp

  08/06/2024 • By RotoWire

  Tolbert has been one of the most impressive players so far in the Cowboys' training camp, Nick Harris of the team's website reports. With CeeDee Lamb holding out while seeking a contract extension, Tolbert has used the available first-team reps to solidify his hold on the WR3 job. The third-year player out of South Alabama was the wideout who worked with Dak Prescott the most this offseason, and the duo is flashing much-improved chemistry in camp. If Lamb's holdout extends into the regular season, or he has a slow start due to the time he missed, Tolbert seems positioned to burst out of the gates on the 2024 campaign.

• Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Should have larger role in 2024

  05/03/2024 • By RotoWire

  Tolbert is in line for a larger role this season after working as the Cowboys' No. 4 WR in 2023, David Moore of The Dallas Morning News reports After playing just 89 snaps on offense as a rookie, the 2022 third-round pick got a lot more playing time (477 snaps) in his second season, essentially splitting the No. 3 receiver role with Michael Gallup for much of the year. Gallup is now in Las Vegas and hasn't been replaced by a similar veteran or early draft pick, leaving Tolbert as the likely third WR behind entrenched starters CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks. While the role won't necessarily entail a large quantity of targets, Tolbert at least would be positioned for a degree of fantasy value if Lamb were to miss any time with an injury.

• Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Makes progress in second season

  01/22/2024 • By RotoWire

  Tolbert caught 22 of 36 passes for 268 yards and two touchdowns over 17 regular-season games in 2023. After a rough rookie campaign that saw the 2022 third-round pick get into the active lineup for only eight games, Tolbert was noticeably more reliable in 2023, and in the second half he was essentially splitting the No. 3 receiver role with Michael Gallup. There's a chance both Gallup and Brandin Cooks could be in different uniforms next season, which could position Tolbert to be the Cowboys' No. 2 wideout behind CeeDee Lamb, but it's more likely he heads into 2024 in roughly the same spot on the depth chart he occupies now.
