Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Career-best performance in loss
Jalen Tolbert caught six of nine targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 44-19 loss to the Saints.The third-year wideout led the Dallas 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
Jalen 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
Jalen Tolbert has been one of the most impressive players so far in the Dallas 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: Dazzles on Day 1
Jalen Tolbert made a spectacular red-zone catch on the first day of training camp practices Thursday, and quarterback Dak Prescott is expecting a breakout campaign from the wideout, Nick Harris of DallasCowboys.com reports. "He's worked all offseason and he's gonna make another jump from year two to year three as he did from one to two," Prescott said after practice. "Super proud of him and everything he's done. That catch is a testament to our connection, my trust in him and the hard work he's put in this offseason."A golden opportunity lies in front of Tolbert to begin camp, as CeeDee Lamb is holding out while seeking a contract extension, Michael Gallup is no longer on the roster and Brandin Cooks will turn 31 years old in September and may have lost a step. A third-round pick in 2022, Tolbert began to turn his athleticism into production last year while suiting up for all 17 games, and if he takes the leap forward that Prescott is predicting, he could become a key target for a QB who led the league in passing TDs in 2023 and finished third in passing yards.

Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Should have larger role in 2024
Jalen Tolbert is in line for a larger role this season after working as the Dallas Cowboys' No. 4 WR in 2023, David Moore of The Dallas Morning News reportsAfter 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
Jalen 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 Dallas 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.

Tolbert saw a limited role in the offense during the regular season, essentially splitting the No. 3 role with Michael Gallup behind CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks, but he showed significant improvement from his disappointing rookie campaign and caught 22 of 36 targets for 268 yards and two touchdowns over 17 games. Tolbert will look to make a postseason splash when the Dallas Cowboys face the Packers in the wild-card round Sunday.

Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Big gain in Week 16 loss
Jalen Tolbert caught both his targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 22-20 loss to the Dolphins.CeeDee Lamb and Jake Ferguson were the only Dallas Cowboys to see more than two targets on the day, but Tolbert did the most he could with his, connecting with Dak Prescott on a 45-yard gain in the third quarter that set up a Brandon Aubrey field goal. Tolbert's role in the Dallas offense remains inconsistent, but the second-year wideout has caught multiple passes in five of the last eight contests, posting a modest 12-180-1 line on 22 targets over that stretch.

Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Will play Sunday
Jalen Tolbert (illness) is active Sunday against the Bills, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.Tolbert was able to log a limited practice Friday despite feeling ill after he logged a DNP on Thursday. The second-year pro's ability to suit up should be a boost to the Dallas Cowboys' depth at wide receiver where Tolbert sees a steady diet of snaps, which has lead to 17 catches on 30 targets for 200 yards and a touchdown this season.

Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Questionable for Week 15
Jalen Tolbert (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.Tolbert missed practice Thursday but got in a limited session Friday. He's carved out a part-time offensive role behind starters CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks and has 17 catches for 200 yards and one touchdown on the season. If Tolbert is unable to play Sunday, Michael Gallup, Jalen Brooks and KaVontae Turpin would be next in line for snaps.
