BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: Despite being blown out by the San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert was only targeted three times, catching all three for 44 yards. It was the CeeDee Lamb show (though his two touchdowns came on busted coverages), but it was concerning to see Dallas' offense flounder.
There is not a single ounce of joy or fun in following the Cowboys organization right now. They don’t play a fun style of football, the offense is archaic and boring and lacks electric players, the defense doesn’t make any big plays - and then all that is happening off of the…

It may not be his fault, but he's failed to make a big difference consistently in the offense, and Dallas' No. 2 receiver, Brandin Cooks (knee), could be set to return from IR soon. However, Cooks won't be eligible to play in Week 9, and the Cowboys will face a porous Atlanta Falcons pass defense, who's allowing the eighth-most fantasy points to opposing WRs this season.
This could be a "get-right" game of sorts for the Cowboys, and Tolbert's last chance to establish himself as the clear WR2 of the team. Expect a better day than he had in Week 8, and there's a good chance he could put up double-digit points in what could be a shootout.

The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically. Receivers' main job of catching the football leads to them scoring more points per touch, and those WRs that consistently get high volume can produce great results with a strong floor. Not every WR is like this, though, […]
