Jalen Tolbert fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 6 (2024). Should you start or sit Jalen Tolbert for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: Is there a new No. 2 receiver in Dallas? In Week 5 against the Steelers, Jalen Tolbert played a season-high 89% of the team's offensive snaps. He was targeted 10 times, catching seven of those passes for 87 yards. Tolbert found the end zone for the second time this year.
Jalen Tolbert will be a big cautionary tale against completely writing off receivers who don't contribute as rookies. The guy had 2 catches as a rookie in 2022 but is legitimately playing good football for the Cowboys now. Not sure what the ceiling is but he's a contributor.

With Brandin Cooks on the Injured Reserve now and set to miss at least four games, Tolbert has no real competition for the No. 2 role. KaVontae Turpin caught a season-high four passes in the game, but he played just 29% of snaps. This is Tolbert's role to lose.
With an enticing matchup against the Lions on tap this week, fantasy managers can deploy Tolbert as a high-upside WR4 play. We're not ready to say he's a safe fantasy option, but the upside certainly exists for Tolbert going forward.

Rashod Bateman - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is about to get a lot more targets, according to Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Bateman looked solid in training camp, though then again, so do players like WR Elijah Moore, and they end up not doing much in real games. […]
Quentin Johnston - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Many fantasy managers, myself included (regrettably), expected new Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to get wide receiver Quentin Johnston more involved on plays where he could utilize his skill set -- running after the catch -- better. That didn't happen in Week […]
Devaughn Vele - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Vele's performance in Week 1 was shocking. In the absence of WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring), he served as the team's WR2, and caught seven of his nine targets for 69 yards and a touchdown, finishing with 19.9 PPR fantasy points. He played 91 percent […]
Deebo Samuel Sr. - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was expected to play an ancillary role with his team when he was signed in the offseason. Then 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) had surgery to correct his PCL issues and was ruled out for the […]
Caleb Douglas- Start or Sit?
Baller Move: Bench in standard leagues, mid-end FLEX in deeper leagues Positional Value: WR4 Analysis: One of the big mysteries in fantasy football this offseason was how the Miami Dolphins’ offense would look in 2026. Miami signed quarterback Malik Willis to a big contract in free agency, but his pass-catching group was filled with unproven […]
