2023 Fantasy Outlook
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.

RANKS
Makes progress in second season
Tolbert caught 22 of 36 passes for 268 yards and two touchdowns over 17 regular-season games in 2023.
ANALYSIS
After a rough rookie campaign that saw the 2022 third-round pick get into the active lineup for only eight games, Tolbert was noticeably more reliable in 2023, and in the second half he was essentially splitting the No. 3 receiver role with Michael Gallup. There's a chance both Gallup and Brandin Cooks could be in different uniforms next season, which could position Tolbert to be the Cowboys' No. 2 wideout behind CeeDee Lamb, but it's more likely he heads into 2024 in roughly the same spot on the depth chart he occupies now.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Gallup release could pay dividends
Tolbert is set to benefit from the Cowboys' decision to release fellow wideout Michael Gallup on Friday, Todd Archer of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Tolbert showed some signs of life in his second season in 2023 after only catching two passes as a third-round rookie the year prior. The South Alabama product posted a 22-268-2 line on 36 targets across 17 regular-season games, and Gallup's release now leaves Tolbert poised to take another step forward as a potential No. 3 receiver in 2024.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
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.
