I feel like everyone is overlooking Jalen Tolbert and I get it.
This offense runs aggressively in theory through CD Lamb and we'll talk about that later.
However, Tolbert's early season numbers absolutely warrant a roster spot.
His emergence in week two where he scored 11 Fantasy points in half.
P pr followed by 12 Fantasy points in week three.
He's just been very solid overall.
After a down game against the Giants, he had a breakout game against Pittsburgh.
He showed a decent floor, he showed a bit of a ceiling there and this is somebody who you can put into your lineup realistically and get very usable numbers here.
And the key here for him has been his steady usage within the Cowboys offense consistently on the field even after the bi week against uh Detroit here where he was on the field upwards of 90.
And if snaps here, we expect him to be a solid part of this Cowboys offense moving forward this week.
It is a difficult match up here, but it's a match up here where maybe they focus on CD Lamb and try to open up some opportunities here for Jalen Tolbert.
So there's opportunity here.
Don't be too afraid of it because of the match up.
If you need somebody last minute to plug in, this is a viable option.
