News: 6 days agoTolbert caught two of four targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 40-37 overtime win over the Giants. He added 85 yards on four kickoff returns.

Spin: KaVontae Turpin (neck) left midway through the game, pushing Tolbert into the primary kick returner role, and he was also back on a New York punt in OT but settled for a fair catch. The Cowboys' passing game has had a fairly narrow target tree so far -- one of CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens or Jake Ferguson were on the other end of 32 of Dak Prescott's 52 pass attempts during the contest -- but Tolbert hasn't done much with his rare receiving chances to earn a bigger share, posting a 3-16-0 line on six targets to begin 2025.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Tolbert is back in Dallas for his fourth NFL season. A situational player during his first two campaigns, Tolbert played 76% of Dallas' offensive snaps in 2025. That didn't translate to much usage, however, as he averaged just 4.6 targets per game. Tolbert scored seven TDs, but ranked outside the top 50 receivers in targets, catches, yards and fantasy PPG. The 26-year-old will play a lesser role in 2025 after Dallas added George Pickens as the team's No. 2 receiver behind superstar CeeDee Lamb. Even with a healthy Dak Prescott, Tolbert is a poor bet to come close to weekly flex production.
