2025 Fantasy Outlook
A 2022 third-round pick, Tolbert has seen his role grow with each passing season, taking 89 snaps in 2022, 477 snaps in 2023 and then 892 snaps last year. His per-route and per-target numbers were similar the past two seasons, but with twice as many routes in 2024 as in 2023, and scoring seven touchdowns instead of two. While CeeDee Lamb's injury absences were part of that equation, Tolbert at least proved himself capable as a No. 3/4 receiver, which figures to be his role again after the Cowboys acquired George Pickens in May. Tolbert is a clear favorite for the No. 3 WR job, with speedy return man KaVontae Turpin representing the most likely form of competition. Read Past Outlooks

Two grabs against Giants
WRDallas Cowboys
September 15, 2025
Tolbert 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.
ANALYSIS
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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
As a rookie in 2022, Tolbert was a hot name in the preseason. He followed that up by catching two passes for 12 yards all season. Last year, Tolbert saw his role increase. The receiver frequently played between 23 and 30 snaps. Tolbert was also targeted between three and five times in seven games. Despite seeing opportunity, he ended the season with 268 yards. With Michael Gallup no longer with the team, Tolbert could become an every-down player. It’s reasonable to predict a third-year breakout for the receiver.
A 2022 third-round pick out of South Alabama, Tolbert was viewed as a raw prospect whose skills needed to catch up to his athleticism. That didn't happen in his rookie season, as, despite the early season absence of Michael Gallup, Tolbert didn't play in the first two games and fell out of the wideout rotation for good after Week 12. Gallup will be further removed from his knee injury this year, and the Cowboys traded for Brandin Cooks in the offseason, so there's no clear path to a regular role for Tolbert in 2023 even if he does take a step forward in his development.
A 2022 third-round pick out of South Alabama, Tolbert's small-school background may have caused him to slip a bit in a WR-heavy draft class, but he offers the skills and athleticism to make an impact in the NFL. The 23-year-old has the route-running skills to play inside or outside, and while his polish and focus could stand to improve, his huge numbers as a senior in college highlight his potential. With Michael Gallup (ACL) and James Washington (foot) likely to miss the beginning of the season, Tolbert could see significant snaps right out of the gate for the Cowboys.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Bumps down following Pickens trade
WRDallas Cowboys
May 7, 2025
Tolbert is projected to slot in no higher than No. 3 on the Cowboys' wide receiver depth chart following the trade acquisition of George Pickens from the Steelers on Wednesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Tolbert, a 2022 third-round pick, made significant strides in 2024, posting a career-best 49-610-7 receiving line on 79 targets across 17 regular-season games. However, the arrival of Pickens, who the Cowboys gave up a third-round 2026 pick and fifth-round 2027 selection for, undoubtedly equates to a bump down the depth chart for Tolbert, who could nevertheless still benefit from going up against lower-caliber cornerbacks and the reduced defensive attention he should see.
