Tolbert’s career-highs last season suggest he can contribute when given volume. With Mingo out, Tolbert could see an uptick in targets, especially in relief roles behind Lamb and Pickens, providing a streaming or flex option in deeper fantasy formats.

Tolbert is identified as a notable Cowboys pass-catcher in pregame scenes, with fantasy implications tied to Milton’s development and Lamb’s target share. Tolbert’s role could grow if Milton builds chemistry and Dallas leans on intermediate routes.

Tolbert competes for a third/fourth WR role behind Lamb. His size and build give him red-zone upside, and a steady preseason could position him for meaningful snaps if he wins the role over Brooks or Holden, especially in two-WR-plus-one-tight end looks.

Tolbert’s trajectory has been upward in scheme-minded, blocking-focused tasks, with coaches noting he’s developing like Brandin Cooks’ pupil and stepping up when challenged. He’s currently positioned behind Turpin and the Pickens chatter in the depth chart, keeping his path to steady targets a work in progress.

Tolbert anchors the Cowboys’ WR group, with established speed and route-running. His role shapes the depth chart's balance and the targets available to Flournoy, Mingo, Brooks, and Holden, especially as the offense climbs toward Week 1 rhythm.
