Simi Fehoko Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Cowboys WR Jalen Tolbert is a healthy scratch for tonight's game vs. the Bucs. The rookie had a rough August and is now behind WRs Noah Brown, Simi Fehoko and Dennis Houston -- along with, of course, CeeDee Lamb.

Cowboys insider Bryan Broaddus "wouldn't be surprised" if WR Jalen Tolbert was a healthy scratch for Sunday night's opener vs. the Cowboys. We knew Tolbert had a disappointing August, but it'd still be surprising if he was scratched considering the Cowboys will be without WRs Michael Gallup and James Washington. The takeaway, of course, is that Tolbert should be nowhere near fantasy lineups. Noah Brown figures to serve as Dallas' #2 WR this week. WRs Simi Fehoko and Dennis Houston could also see snaps.

Jon Machota of The Athletic named Cowboys WR Simi Fehoko as the “biggest surprise” in training camp. Machota mentions WR Noah Brown as another strong candidate, but it’s Fehoko who’s mentioned as looking “ready to contribute in year 2.” The Stanford product made only 5 appearances as a rookie and didn’t catch a ball — hardly a surprise as a Round 5 pick on a (then) strong WR corps. Injuries to Michael Gallup and James Washington, plus the trade of Amari Cooper, have given guys like Fehoko a shot to emerge. The 24-year-old goes 6’4, 222 pounds with sub-4.5 speed, so he has some intriguing tools to work with.

Cowboys WRs Simi Fehoko and T.J. Vasher have gotten a "ton of work" with Dak Prescott this week, thanks to James Washington and Jalen Tolbert being sidelined, according to David Helman of the team website. Helman added that he saw Fehoko "make 2-3 nice snags." It's assumed that Washington and Tolbert will run ahead of Fehoko and Vasher when healthy, but Tolbert was a 3rd-round pick and Washington signed a small 1-year deal. We're betting on Tolbert and Washington being more relevant as well, but neither is guaranteed a starting role. We'll be watching to see how the WR corps sorts out behind CeeDee Lamb.

The Cowboys selected Stanford WR Simi Fehoko in Round 5 of the 2021 NFL Draft. Fehoko went on a 2-year religious mission after high school, so he’s already 23 years old despite spending just 3 seasons at Stanford. After a quiet freshman year, he ranked 3rd on the team with 566 yards and was tops with 6 TDs as a sophomore. Then he easily led the Cardinal with 37 catches, 574 yards and 3 TDs in 6 games this past season. Fehoko has plus size at 6’4, 222 pounds and impressed at his Pro Day with a 4.44-second 40 time, a 34.5-inch vertical and strong times in the agility drills. He has work to do in the route-running department, but there’s intriguing developmental upside here. He'll have room to develop on a loaded WR depth chart in Dallas, led by Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup. Fehoko's best early bet might be challenging for Noah Brown's #5 spot. He'll be just a late-draft consideration for dynasty managers.
