2024 Fantasy Outlook
As a rookie in 2022, Tolbert was a hot name in the preseason. He followed that up by catching two passes for 12 yards all season. Last year, Tolbert saw his role increase. The receiver frequently played between 23 and 30 snaps. Tolbert was also targeted between three and five times in seven games. Despite seeing opportunity, he ended the season with 268 yards. With Michael Gallup no longer with the team, Tolbert could become an every-down player. It’s reasonable to predict a third-year breakout for the receiver. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Should benefit from Cooks' absence
Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy suggested Wednesday that Tolbert could be in line for an increased role on offense with Brandin Cooks (knee) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, and possibly longer, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. "I love the guys we have here," McCarthy said. "The two Jalens [Tolbert and Jalen Brooks], this is more opportunities for them, [KaVontae] Turpin. Yeah, love our practice squad guys. We'll be in good shape [at receiver]."
ANALYSIS
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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
A 2022 third-round pick out of South Alabama, Tolbert was viewed as a raw prospect whose skills needed to catch up to his athleticism. That didn't happen in his rookie season, as, despite the early season absence of Michael Gallup, Tolbert didn't play in the first two games and fell out of the wideout rotation for good after Week 12. Gallup will be further removed from his knee injury this year, and the Cowboys traded for Brandin Cooks in the offseason, so there's no clear path to a regular role for Tolbert in 2023 even if he does take a step forward in his development.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could see heavy usage early
With Brandin Cooks still not practicing due to a knee injury and CeeDee Lamb ramping up his activity after holding out of training camp, Tolbert could be called on to take on a larger role in the passing game early in the regular season.
ANALYSIS
Tolbert didn't play in any of Dallas' preseason contests, but he was one of the standout players early in training camp and took advantage of his first-team reps due to Lamb's absence. If Cooks were to be held out of the Cowboys' regular-season opener against the Browns, Tolbert would be in position to see more targets in the passing game from quarterback Dak Prescott. Across 17 regular-season games last season, Tolbert caught 22 passes on 36 targets for 268 yards and two touchdowns.
