Jalen Tolbert Week 8 Outlook - Cowboys at 49ers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 24th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Tolbert is the WR40 in fantasy points per game with the WR3 or better weeks (WR24, WR12, WR34) this season. He has five red zone targets across his last five games. Tolbert has a 13.9% target share, a 23.4% air-yard share, 1.39 YPRR, and a 16.3% first-read share. The 49ers have utilized two high at the eighth-highest rate (49.6%). Against two high, Tolbert has seen his target share increase to 18.2%, his YPRR bump to 1.82, and his first-read share explodes to 27.1%. He should see a volume bump this week, but it's fair to wonder how much he'll do with it. The 49ers have been a horrible matchup for perimeter wide receivers, allowing the fewest PPR points per target and the fourth-fewest receiving yards per game.
