News

  • Two grabs against Washington

    Tolbert caught two of three targets for 49 yards in a 45-10 rout of the Commanders on Thanksgiving.

    Analysis: He was one of 10 different Cowboys to catch passes from Dak Prescott on the afternoon, with Tolbert posting gains of 31 and 18 yards on his two grabs. The second-year wideout still doesn't have a big role in the offense, but he's pushing Michael Gallup for the No. 3 spot on the depth chart and has caught at least two passes in four straight games, posting a 9-112-1 line on 18 targets over that stretch compared to Gallup's 8-133-1 performance on 11 targets.

  • Quiet day in rout

    Tolbert caught two of five targets for two yards in Sunday's 49-17 rout of the Giants.

    Analysis: While rookie Jalen Brooks got a chance to shine in garbage time, catching all four of his targets for 39 yards, Tolbert had far less success and actually lost yards on one of his two grabs. The 2022 third-round pick has at least begun to see consistent volume, getting five targets in each of the last two games as the Dallas passing game opens up, but as long as CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks are healthy, Tolbert has a tough path to consistent fantasy value.

  • Catches first career TD

    Tolbert caught three of five targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: The second-year wideout hauled in his first career TD in the fourth quarter as the Cowboys tried to rally from a 28-17 deficit, getting free in the end zone for a seven-yard strike as Dak Prescott escaped the pocket and bought some time. Tolbert hadn't caught a single pass in the three prior games, so his role in the offense is far from consistent, but he appears to be earning some trust from his QB. In addition, veterans Michael Gallup and Brandin Cooks, the two receivers immediately ahead of…read more

  • Loses fumble Monday

    Tolbert went without a target and was charged with a lost fumble on a muffed punt in Monday's 20-17 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: When the Chargers punted away with just under nine minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Tolbert thought return man KaVontae Turpin inadvertently touched the football, prompting Tolbert to lunge after the ball. Tolbert was actually the first Cowboys player to touch the ball, however, and was charged with a lost fumble when Chargers linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga recovered the loose ball. The Chargers were able to score a game-tying touchdown on the ensuing possession, but the special teams…read more

  • Makes impact in Sunday's rout

    Tolbert caught all four of his targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 38-3 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: The catches and receiving yards were career highs for the second-year wideout, but Tolbert made his biggest impact on special teams, laying out punt returner Demario Douglas at New England's 10-yard line with a huge hit early in the second quarter while the outcome of the game was still in doubt. With the Pats pinned deep, Mac Jones got sacked two plays later and coughed up a fumble that Leighton Vander Esch returned to the house. Tolbert is still stuck behind CeeDee Lamb, Brandin Cooks and…read more

  • Three grabs in win over Jets

    Tolbert caught three of four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: With Brandin Cooks (knee) sidelined, most of Dak Prescott's attention went to CeeDee Lamb, but Tolbert was able to put together the first multi-catch game of his career. The second-year wideout also out-produced Michael Gallup, who managed only one catch for three yards. Tolbert doesn't yet have a big role in the Dallas passing game, but he appears to be taking a big step forward after a tough rookie campaign. He'll try to build on this performance in Week 3 against the Cardinals.

  • Likely to step in as No. 3 wideout

    Tolbert is expected to serve as Dallas' No. 3 receiver in Sunday's game against the Jets with Brandin Cooks (knee) listed as questionable but not in line to play, Joseph Hoyt of LoneStarLive.com reports.

    Analysis: After playing 16 snaps on offense and drawing one target in the Cowboys' 40-0 win over the Giants in the season opener, Tolbert is projected to see an expanded role Week 2 while Dallas is without one of its top three wideouts in Cooks. CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup are still available for the Cowboys, and tight end Jake Ferguson and running back Tony Pollard are also expected to retain key roles in the passing game, so Tolbert still might not find himself any higher than fifth in the pecking…read more

  • Impresses again in Saturday's loss

    Tolbert brought in four of six targets for 66 yards in the Cowboys' 22-14 preseason loss to the Seahawks on Saturday night.

    Analysis: Last year's third-round pick continued to offer hints he may be capable of putting a washout of a rookie season behind with his second straight impressive exhibition performance. The South Alabama product led the Cowboys in receptions, receiving yards and targets, pushing his line to 6-95-1 this preseason. Tolbert is essentially assured of a roster spot already, but another strong effort in the preseason finale against the Raiders next Saturday night could raise expectations of what he'll be…read more

  • Continues strong offseason

    Tolbert corralled both of his targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason loss to Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Tolbert caught the Cowboys' first receiving touchdown in the second quarter with the team's key wide receivers sitting out the first exhibition game. The 24-year-old was already making a good impression on the coaching staff in camp, and his hard work appeared to have paid off in the end zone. Tolbert will look to continue making strides this preseason as he attempts to lock up the No. 4 spot on the receiver depth chart.

  • Solid start to camp

    Tolbert worked with the first-team offense Wednesday during the first day of training camp, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The South Alabama product is trying to put a rough rookie season behind him, and he looked good to begin camp while making a number of nice catches. Tolbert is hoping to establish himself as the Cowboys' No. 4 wideout this season, but even in a potent passing game his fantasy value in that role figures to be limited as long as CeeDee Lamb, Brandin Cooks and Michael Gallup are all healthy.

  • Looking more comfortable in Year 2

    Tolbert has made several impressive plays in OTAs, including during the two-minute drill, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' website reports.

    Analysis: The 2022 third-round pick out of South Alabama did little as a rookie, seeing action in only eight games and catching two of three targets for 12 yards, and his small-school background seemed to leave him ill-prepared for the complexities of an NFL offense. Tolbert did flash impressive athleticism in college though, and his good early showing in OTAs suggests he has a better handle on the playbook and is no longer lost on the field. He has a tough climb to become fantasy-relevant, however, and…read more

  • Disappointing rookie campaign

    Tolbert caught two of three targets for 12 yards over eight regular-season games in 2022.

    Analysis: Drafted in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of South Alabama, Tolbert was viewed as a raw, athletic prospect who might need some time to adjust to the level of play in the NFL, but the Cowboys clearly didn't anticipate just how big that adjustment was going to be. The 23-year-old was inactive for the first two games of the season despite the team's lack of healthy, reliable wideouts behind CeeDee Lamb, and even after Tolbert did begin to draw into the gameday lineup, he failed to make…read more

  • Inactive for wild-card matchup

    Tolbert (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's wild-card matchup against the Buccaneers, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Tolbert was a healthy scratch for the final five games of the regular season and will be inactive once again to start the postseason. Dallas' wideout corps Monday night will consist of CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup, Noah Brown, T.Y. Hilton and KaVontae Turpin.

  • Won't suit up Week 18

    Tolbert (coach's decision) has been ruled inactive prior to Sunday's game against the Commanders, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Tolbert will finish the 2022 regular as a healthy scratch for the fifth week in a row. With veteran wideout T.Y. Hilton taking on a bigger role in Dallas' receiving corps, it's likely Tolbert could remain a nonfactor heading into the 2022 playoffs.

    Tolbert (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Titans, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Tolbert is set for his third consecutive absence, each of which has come as a healthy scratch. Most recently, that's been due to the addition of T.Y. Hilton, who caught a 52-yard pass in his debut with the Cowboys in Week 16.

    Tolbert (coach's decision) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The rookie third-round pick suited up for the past seven games but won't play Sunday, as James Washington (foot) is making his 2022 debut after being activated off injured reserve. Tolbert has only two receptions for 12 yards in eight contests this season.

  • Likely No. 3 wideout Week 8

    Tolbert could serve as the Cowboys' No. 3 receiver in Sunday's game against the Bears with Noah Brown (foot) inactive for the contest, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Heading into training camp, Tolbert looked like a leading candidate to open the season as the Cowboys' No. 2 wideout behind CeeDee Lamb, but a poor preseason resulted in him being a healthy scratch Week 1. Tolbert's outlook hasn't changed much for the better since that time, as he was inactive in four of the Cowboys' first seven games and fell further down the pecking order at receiver when Michael Gallup returned from a torn ACL in Week 4. Lamb and Gallup are both suiting up Sunday, but the…read more

    Analysis: Through the first five games of his career, Tolbert has made just one appearance to date. With the rookie third-round pick again in street clothes, the Cowboys' receiving corps will be composed of CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup, Noah Brown, Simi Fehoko and KaVontae Turpin.

    Tolbert (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Commanders, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: For the third time in four games to begin his career, Tolbert will be a healthy scratch for the Cowboys. It's not a surprise with Michael Gallup back in the lineup for the first time since tearing his ACL back on Jan. 2, and Tolbert now be in danger of being a regular inactive for the team without an injury elsewhere in Dallas' receiving corps.

  • Catches one pass in win

    Tolbert caught one of two targets for four yards in Monday's 23-16 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Tolbert played on 36 percent of the Cowboys' offensive snaps in his pro debut, but he was only able to reel in one of his two targets in the contest. The rookie was an afterthought in the offense, as teammates CeeDee Lamb and Noah Brown soaked up the majority of the wide receiver targets from quarterback Cooper Rush. Tolbert will have to wait to prove himself on the field, but the imminent return of Michael Gallup (knee) and Dalton Schultz (knee) will likely make it difficult for the…read more

  • In line for pro debut

    Tolbert is listed as active for Monday's game against the Giants, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: The rookie third-round pick thus is in line for his pro debut after being a healthy scratch for both of the Cowboys' first two games of the season. It's unclear what kind of workload he can expect, but the offense again will be without Michael Gallup (knee), and No. 1 tight end Dalton Schultz (knee) also isn't playing, so Tolbert could get in the mix behind CeeDee Lamb and Noah Brown.

  • Takes seat again in Week 2

    Tolbert (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Bengals, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: For a second consecutive game to begin his career, the rookie third-round pick won't be available to a Cowboys offense that's without fellow pass catchers Michael Gallup (knee, inactive) and James Washington (foot, IR). The decision to delay Tolbert's pro debut is an interesting one, especially with Dak Prescott (thumb) sidelined for the foreseeable future. In any case, interim starting quarterback Cooper Rush will have CeeDee Lamb, Noah Brown, Dennis Houston, Simi Fehoko and KaVontae Turpin…read more

    Analysis: With Michael Gallup not yet ready to return from a torn ACL, Tolbert was believed to be a part of the plan at wide receiver as a rookie third-round pick in the early going. Instead, coach Mike McCarthy has made Tolbert a healthy scratch, meaning the Cowboys' active WRs are CeeDee Lamb, Noah Brown, Dennis Houston, Simi Fehoko and KaVontae Turpin in Week 1.

    Tolbert caught two of five targets for nine yards in Friday's preseason game against the Seahawks.

The 2022 third-round pick figures to be leaned on heavily to open the regular season with Michael Gallup (knee) and James Washington (foot) both sidelined.

    Tolbert brought in two of four targets for 25 yards in the Cowboys' 32-18 preseason win over the Chargers on Saturday night.

    Analysis: The rookie drew the start and turned in a solid effort overall while working with Cooper Rush as his quarterback. Tolbert's numbers were an improvement on the 2-7-0 line he furnished in the preseason opener against the Broncos last Saturday night, and he remains slated for a starting role to open the regular season with Michael Gallup (knee) and James Washington (foot) projected to be unavailable.

    Tolbert was more consistent this week during joint practices with the Chargers after a rough performance in the Cowboys' preseason opener, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: The rookie receiver caught only two of his seven targets and got flagged for a false start against the Broncos last Saturday, but Tolbert appears to have put it behind him. "I'm learning more and more about each [wide receiver] position as I go," he said after Thursday's practice. "And so, me just being able to move around and understand more - in the game Saturday, it was kind of flying around on me. Overall, I'm picking it up. I'm good.

  • Two grabs in preseason opener

    Tolbert brought in two of seven targets for 10 yards in the Cowboys' 17-7 preseason loss to the Broncos on Saturday night.

    Analysis: Tolbert was the target on Cooper Rush's first two pass attempts, neither of which was caught. The rookie did draw a pass interference penalty on the first play of the Cowboys' third drive and subsequently got on the board with a pair of receptions, making it a busy yet modest night for the third-round pick. Tolbert's next opportunity to ramp up for what should be a solid role right from the start of his career comes in a road battle against the Chargers next Saturday night.

  • Team shows confidence in rookie

    Analysis: The third-round rookie out of South Alabama already appeared to be one of the favorites for a Week 1 starting spot opposite CeeDee Lamb heading into training camp, but James Washington's foot injury removes Tolbert's top competition from the equation. Team owner Jerry Jones also indicated in the wake of Washington's injury that the team wouldn't rush out and sign a veteran wideout to replace him, although the Cowboys could change direction after seeing how depth wideout options like Noah Brown…read more

    Tolbert showed a good rapport with quarterback Dak Prescott on the first day of training camp, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: In particular, the duo connected on a sideline pass in traffic during a two-minute drill. Tolbert has a golden opportunity ahead of him for a significant role in the Cowboys' passing game with Amari Cooper in Cleveland and Michael Gallup (knee) not guaranteed to be ready for Week 1, but the third-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft will need to prove in camp he's ready for it.

    Tolbert participated in workouts with Dak Prescott and other key members of the Cowboys offense earlier this month, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Top tight end Dalton Schultz was part of the group, as were CeeDee Lamb and Ezekiel Elliott. Tolbert also saw reps with the first-team offense at the end of minicamp, and with Michael Gallup not expected to be healthy for the beginning of the season, the third-round rookie could find himself in the starting lineup in Week 1, lining up either opposite Lamb on the outside or working out of the slot.

  • Back at practice Tuesday

    Tolbert (hamstring) got significant reps during Tuesday's mandatory minicamp, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Analysis: The rookie wideout had been nursing a hamstring injury during OTAs, but he appears to have moved past the issue and looks poised to carve out a role in Dallas. With Michael Gallup (knee) potentially unavailable for Week 1, Tolbert will compete with fellow newcomer James Washington (foot) for snaps and targets behind No. 1 wideout CeeDee Lamb.

    Tolbert is dealing with a hamstring injury at OTAs, Nick Eatman & Layten Praytor of the Cowboys' official site report.

    Analysis: Tolbert joins Michael Gallup (torn ACL) and James Washington (foot) on the sideline during the early portion of OTAs. The rookie third-round pick should have ample opportunities for practice reps once back on the field, but Dallas may also hesitate to rush him back from a hamstring strain. For now, the likes of Noah Brown, Simi Fehoko and T.J. Vasher will benefit from added work behind No. 1 wideout CeeDee Lamb.
