Should You Start or Sit Jalen Tolbert in Week 13?
Presentation, presentation, presentation.
In the world of analysis (also known as “professional number bending”), the presentation of information is just as important as location is in the real estate business. If I wanted to sell you on Jalen Tolbert, I’d make sure to avoid noting that he ranked fifth on this team in receiving yards last week, a game played without their starting tight end.
I certainly wouldn’t mention that Rico Dowdle had more receptions, and I’d probably exclude the fact that he was held without a catch in three of four quarters during their upset win over the Commanders.
Instead, I’d focus on him leading Dallas receivers in snap share (98%) or being the target of Cooper Rush’s lone pass thrown to the end zone.
See what I did there? I presented the anti-argument first, and human nature weighs that information as the most important. It’s all about presentation, and while the field time is nice to see, I’m more than comfortable fading any secondary receiver in this awfully limited offense for the remainder of the season.
