One spot and multiple worthy candidates. Who's it gonna be?

As it stands now, the team's true No. 3 wide receiver spot is up for grabs and it seems like four players will be fighting for the starting nod.
Jalen Tolbert (third season), Ryan Flournoy (rookie sixth-round pick), Jalen Brooks (second season), and KaVontae Turpin (third season) could be in line for breakout seasons.
Of that group, most will say that it is Tolbert's job to lose. He was drafted in the third round in 2022 and coaches hoped he could be the speedy deep threat that Amari Cooper was when he first got to Dallas. Fans saw a hint of Tolbert's potential last season and with the departure of Michael Gallup and Tony Pollard (over 100 combined targets in 2023), he should be the frontrunner.
Tolbert has helped his case for a starting role with his hefty off-season improvement thus far. Tolbert has seemingly grown a lot on and off the field and he believes that he is ready to take that next step. From a skill-set perspective, Tolbert could be a really good NFL wide receiver. He can be a good possession receiver as he excels in the open field. The only thing standing in his way, are the other three receivers who also bring a lot to the table.
