Jalen Tolbert - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Nabs two catches Thursday Tolbert recorded two catches on four targets for 41 yards in Thursday's 27-20 Week 13 win against the Giants.

Impact Though he managed only two receptions, Tolbert finished second on the Cowboys in receiving yards thanks mostly to a 36-yard catch in the third quarter. He also logged the most offensive snaps (55, for a 72 percent snap share) among the team's wideouts. That was largely a result of CeeDee Lamb sitting out much of the third quarter and all of the fourth due to a shoulder injury. For the time being, there is optimism that Lamb won't have to miss any games due to the issue, but if the star wideout does end of being sidelined, Tolbert would likely ascend to the role of the Cowboys' No. 1 receiver.

Finds end zone Sunday Tolbert caught two of four targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Commanders.

Impact The third-year wideout gave the Cowboys a 10-9 lead late in the third quarter with his six-yard TD grab, setting the stage for a wild fourth quarter in an eventual 34-26 victory. Tolbert has caught two of his four touchdowns on the season since Cooper Rush replaced Dak Prescott (hamstring) under center but has otherwise struggled to make much of an impact, posting a 10-76-2 line on 20 targets over the last four games. With Brandin Cooks (knee) closing in on a return from IR, Tolbert could lose some volume as soon as a Week 13 clash with the Giants.

NOVEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Two catches in loss Tolbert caught two of his five targets for 21 yards in Monday's 34-10 loss to the Texans.

Impact Tolbert continued his streak of underwhelming performances Monday, as the third-year wideout's two catches accounted for his lowest reception total since Week 1. Operating as the Cowboys' No. 2 wide receiver, Tolbert has seen a decline in his production much like the entire Dallas offense throughout the season. With Cooper Rush starting at quarterback, the 25-year-old receiver will likely continue to struggle to make much of an impact for fantasy going forward. Tolbert remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Commanders.

NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Just two catches in blowout loss Tolbert finished with two receptions (five targets) for 21 yards in Monday's 34-10 loss to the Texans.

Impact Tolbert's recent struggles with backup quarterback Cooper Rush under center continued or the second week in a row. The Cowboys' No. 2 option behind CeeDee Lamb (8-93-0) finished with totals even deep-league managers would cringe at over a two-week period. If someone walks through the doors of AT&T Stadium who can resuscitate Dallas' offense sans Dak Prescott (hamstring), then we could recommend Tolbert as a strong play in Week 12. Until then, the talented receiver's floor will remain low.

Three grabs against Philly Tolbert caught three of five targets for 14 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

Impact The wideout's first game of the year without Dak Prescott (hamstring) under center didn't go smoothly. Tolbert got a few short receptions from Cooper Rush, but when Trey Lance took over the offense late, the duo failed to connect on a deep pass that went for an interception -- in fact, Tolbert never even turned around to see if the ball was coming his way. Prescott could be headed for season-ending surgery, and no matter who his replacement at QB is, Tolbert's ceiling figures to be a lot lower heading into a Week 11 clash with the Texans.

NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Snags TD in Sunday's loss Tolbert caught three of six targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Falcons.

Impact While he didn't generate much yardage, Tolbert salvaged his day with a four-yard TD late in the fourth quarter. The pass came from Cooper Rush and not Dak Prescott (hamstring), and with Prescott headed for an MRI on Monday, there's a real chance Rush could get the start in Week 10 against the Eagles. CeeDee Lamb was also nursing a sore shoulder late in Sunday's loss, so the Cowboys' passing game could look very different for that key divisional matchup.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Three grabs against 49ers Tolbert caught all three of his targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the 49ers.

Impact Tolbert tied teammate CeeDee Lamb in snaps (55), operating as the Cowboys' clear No. 2 wideout. Sunday marked the sixth time in seven games in which the 25-year-old Tolbert recorded at least three catches. With the Cowboys facing a favorable passing game schedule down the stretch, its possible that the third-year receiver could see his role grow and have a more consistent impact. With that said, veteran Brandin Cooks (knee) is likely nearing a return from injured reserve, which could put a cap on Tolbert's upside. Up next for the Cowboys is a Week 9 matchup against the Saints.

Four receptions in blowout loss Tolbert recorded four receptions on five targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 47-9 loss to the Lions.

Impact The Cowboys struggled to get their offense going throughout the game, which hurt Tolbert's stat line. He still managed to finish second on the team in yards thanks to a 26-yard reception midway through the first quarter. Dallas will head into their bye week, but Tolbert should keep his role as a key pass catcher in a Week 8 matchup against the 49ers.

Steps up sans starter Tolbert finished with seven receptions (10 targets) for 87 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Steelers.

Impact Tolbert saw his role on offense elevated while filling in for injured starter Brandin Cooks (knee) on Sunday. The former wound up being the hero of Sunday's victory after catching the game-winning touchdown pass with seconds remaining in regulation. Even more impressive is the fact that Tolbert appeared to injure his hand on the previous play, forcing Dallas to use its final timeout so the wideout could remain in the game. Cooks was shifted to injured reserve this weekend, so Tolbert could maintain his elevated role as the No. 2 behind CeeDee Lamb indefinitely.

Impact Tolbert has already been a regular fixture in three-receiver sets this season, with his snap shares ranging from 67 to 85 percent through four games. While Cooks' absence may not necessarily lead to a dramatic spike in playing time for Tolbert, the 4.8 targets per contest that Cooks had been averaging could be redistributed to Tolbert and others. CeeDee Lamb and tight end Jake Ferguson will likely continue to rank as quarterback Dak Prescott's preferred options in the passing game, but with none of the team's running backs representing major receiving threats, Tolbert could emerge as the clear No. 3 target sans Cooks.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Three catches in win Tolbert brought in all three targets for 24 yards in the Cowboys' 20-15 win over the Giants on Thursday night.

Impact Tolbert was a distant third to CeeDee Lamb and Jake Ferguson in the pass-catching hierarchy, but he notably recorded two more receptions and eight more yards than No. 2 receiver Brandin Cooks. Tolbert now has more receptions and receiving yards than Cooks in three straight games, while the former's 17 targets over that span also notably outpace the latter's 12 in the same span. It remains to be seen if there will be any official depth chart swap between the two wideouts, but either way, Tolbert figures to have a modest but reliable role in a Week 5 road matchup against the Steelers on Sunday, Oct. 6.
