BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR9 (thousand)
ANALYSIS: WR9000 is a bit of an exaggeration for Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert's value, but without quarterback Dak Prescott throwing to him, we saw in Week 10 how miserable watching the new Cowboys offense can be. Head coach and play-caller Mike McCarthy simply had no answers for the lack of his starter.

Backup QB Cooper Rush threw for 45 yards and rushed for two more yards in his team's Week 10 loss against the Philadelphia Eagles. No, that's not a typo. Dallas couldn't even muster more than 20 yards of offense per quarter. None of the players will have fantasy value as long as that continues.
Perhaps lead WR CeeDee Lamb (back) could rack up PPR points from catches. Perhaps Tolbert could, too, to a lesser degree. But an offense that produces so little isn't one you want to count on. There may not be any deep enough leagues where you could justify starting the Cowboys' second-string receiver.
You wouldn't go to a feast that didn't have any food, would you? Likewise, you shouldn't start Tolbert.
