Dallas Cowboys third-round rookie wide receiver Jalen Tolbert is expected to start Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, per Jon Machota of The Athletic.
Michael Gallup (knee) is not expected to be ready for the start of the season, so Tolbert is set up to join CeeDee Lamb and James Washington in three-wide sets. If the rookie performs well, he could beat out Washington to remain in the starting role once Gallup returns.
Tolbert is currently the WR53 in numberFire's preseason fantasy rankings. Our models project him for 84.3 targets, 53.7 receptions, 634.4 yards, and 4.98 touchdowns.
