25-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
Dallas Cowboys
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

Career-high 98 yards in Week 18

January 5, 2025
Tolbert caught four of six targets for 98 yards in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Tolbert showed nice chemistry with Trey Lance, who got the start under center for the season finale. The 25-year-old wide receiver set a single-game career high in receiving yards to finish his third NFL season on a high note. After setting career highs across the board with 49 catches for 610 yards and seven touchdowns on 79 targets in 2024, Tolbert will likely reprise his role as a depth option in a receiving corps led by CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) in 2025.

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.
A 2022 third-round pick out of South Alabama, Tolbert's small-school background may have caused him to slip a bit in a WR-heavy draft class, but he offers the skills and athleticism to make an impact in the NFL. The 23-year-old has the route-running skills to play inside or outside, and while his polish and focus could stand to improve, his huge numbers as a senior in college highlight his potential. With Michael Gallup (ACL) and James Washington (foot) likely to miss the beginning of the season, Tolbert could see significant snaps right out of the gate for the Cowboys.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could see heavy usage early
WRDallas Cowboys
August 31, 2024
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.
