Jalen Tolbert Week 6 Outlook - Lions at Cowboys

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 10th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Tolbert has shown growth this year as he's been forced to step up as the team's WR2. Tolbert is the WR42 in fantasy points per game with three outings of weekly WR3 or better fantasy production (WR24, WR34, WR12). Tolbert has a 14.4% target share, a 24% air-yard share, 1.52 YPRR, and a 16.4% first-read share. He leads the team with five red-zone targets. This week's matchup with the Lions should boost his fantasy outlook. Since Week 3, Detroit has the sixth-highest two-high rate (55.6%). Against two high, Tolbert has seen bumps across the board with an 18.4% target share, a 29.8% air-yard share, 1.82 YPRR, and a massive 27.9% first-read share. Tolbert will run about 70% of his routes against Carlton Davis (70.6% catch rate and 118.9 passer rating) and Terrion Arnold (64% catch rate and 98.4 passer rating). Detroit has allowed the third-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
