Who Should I Start? Jalen Tolbert or Michael Wilson

Friday, May 3, 2:53 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert, who worked as the team's No. 4 wideout in his second season in 2023, is expected to have a bigger role in 2024 alongside CeeDee Lamb and veteran Brandin Cooks. Tolbert essentially split offensive snaps with Michael Gallup last year, but Gallup is now in Las Vegas. In 17 regular-season games (six starts) last year, Tolbert caught 22 of his 36 targets for 268 yards and two touchdowns after recording just two receptions in his rookie campaign in 2022. The 25-year-old former third-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft out of South Alabama won't necessarily be worth drafting in standard-sized fantasy leagues this fall, but if Lamb or Cooks go down with an injury at any point, Tolbert would become a popular waiver-wire pickup.

In the Cardinals' narrow 21-20 loss to the Seahawks, Arizona rookie wide receiver Michael Wilson delivered a career-best performance, securing all six targets for an impressive 95 yards. The 2023 third-round pick showcased his potential, establishing a promising connection with quarterback Kyler Murray. Unlike their previous struggles, where they connected on just seven of 19 passes for 69 yards and one touchdown in four appearances together, Wilson and Murray seemed to find their rhythm in the season finale. As the 2023 season concludes, Wilson heads into the offseason with momentum, looking forward to a potential breakout in the 2024 campaign. His cumulative season stats of 38 receptions, 565 yards, and three touchdowns on 58 targets reflect a healthy 14.9 yards per catch and 9.7 yards per target.
