Jalen Tolbert Week 5 Outlook - Cowboys at Steelers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 3rd 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Tolbert is the WR58 in fantasy points per game. He has drawn an 11.8% target share, a 20% air-yard share, and a 14% first-read share with 1.27 YPRR. This isn't the matchup to consider flexing him. With CeeDee Lamb residing in the slot, Tolbert will match up with Joey Porter Jr. (69.2% catch rate and 124.2 passer rating) and Donte Jackson (52.9% catch rate and 45.2 passer rating) with about 69% of his routes. Porter Jr. has followed receivers to the slot on only nine snaps this season. Prior to last week's poor showing, Pittsburgh had allowed the tenth-fewest receiving yards per game and the 12th-lowest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
