Week 5 is over. We're heading into week 6, but before we do that, there is a ton of wide receivers on the waiver wire right now that demand your attention.

0:06.3

I'm talking about guys that could potentially be top 24 wide receivers the rest of the season. Yes, that good.

0:10.7

So in this opinion is now

0:20.9

a must add in all fantasy leagues. I don't care if you're in a 10-team league, I don't care if you're

0:25.0

in a 12-team league with small benches, add this dude. And look, Tolbert was kind of on our radar

0:29.2

because we had this information before week five began. Brandon Cook's his knee. He was placed on IR. He'll miss at least four games. This is a 31-year-old wide receiver. Even if he's able to come back after just a bare minimum four games missed, maybe he's not 100%.

0:42.2

Maybe he loses the job to Jalen Tolbert if Tolbert starts to play better or just starts to

0:46.4

continue to play well.

0:47.2

He's already playing well this year.

Jake Ferguson, the tight end, ahead of C.D. Lamb, the star wide receiver for Dallas. And his

1:01.7

quality usage wasn't just a bunch of, you know, empty targets. Like if you remember a Dallas

1:05.5

wide receiver named Michael Gallup, he would earn those empty targets deep downfield, rarely ever bring them in. If he did, it was once in a blue moon.

1:11.3

No, no, no, not the case for Jalen Tolbert, who caught 70% of his targets,

1:14.9

seven catches on Ted targets, 87 yards, and a touchdown to touchdown.

1:18.0

If you watch this game, you know it came with less than 30 seconds left in the game

1:20.8

on a fourth down and goal to win the game essentially for the Dallas Cowboys. Obviously, they trusted him in a key situation, the biggest key situation you could possibly

1:27.7

find.

1:28.0

So now we're through five games on the year.

And this hasn't yet updated on Player Profiler for his performance where he just scored.
