The Dallas Cowboys will face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Jalen Tolbert.
Is Jalen Tolbert Playing in Week 17?
Tolbert is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.
We’ll continue to monitor the Cowboys’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Jalen Tolbert in Week 17?
Despite limited usage, Tolbert scored in consecutive weeks and has six on the season. His nose for the end zone might be a trait we circle back to in August, but in a Cooper Rush offense that involves a banged-up CeeDee Lamb, I have no interest in betting on this passing game in any capacity.
Dallas has been putting up some points in plus matchups lately, but this Eagles defense certainly isn’t one that I’m targeting, even after a disappointing Week 16 performance.
There are two Cowboys worth your while, but Tolbert isn’t one of them.
