Fantasy Football Sleepers: Cowboys’ Jalen Tolbert might have staying power beyond just Week 6

There’s ebb and flow to every NFL Sunday, but last week’s sleeper page goes down as a win simply for pounding the table for Tucker Kraft and avoiding the bad cheese of Deshaun Watson, despite a plus matchup. There were some other smaller hits, like Trey Sermon and Jordan Whittington, and of course a few bricks mixed in.

Let’s see what Week 6 has for us.

This is one of the most obvious calls of the week. Jones, let’s face it, is playing well. He’s been QB6, QB11 and QB11 in three of his last four starts, and last week’s 22.1 points came despite Malik Nabers not playing.

Nabers should return this week, and the Giants match up against a leaky Cincinnati secondary and a fun Bengals passing game. This game could turn into pinball, and the total is set for 48 points.

Daniel Jones, Circle of Trust? For this week, I’ll sign off.

The Titans aren’t a great matchup and we have to be sure Joe Flacco is starting — if Anthony Richardson gets the call (and eventually Indy has to return to him, work on his development), the Colts passing game could hit the skids again. But Flacco’s been on a multiple-game heater since the Browns plugged him in last year, and he’s immediately shown chemistry with his receiving room. Downs and Pierce also get a bump now that we know Michael Pittman Jr. (back) will miss multiple games.

This isn’t just a rental recommendation, there’s potential staying power. Tolbert had a snappy 7-87-1 line at Pittsburgh on Sunday night, including the game-winning touchdown, and I suspect he can hold this starting position even after Brandin Cooks is healthy. The Week 6 matchup is favorable — Detroit’s defense is more vulnerable to the pass. The Cowboys will need to throw proactively, and that means Tolbert should have a solid role.

It might be hard to trust Dalton and…
