• Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Leading receiver on Thanksgiving

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Turpin caught four of five targets for 53 yards in a 27-20 win over the Giants on Thanksgiving. He added two rushing yards on his lone carry. With CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) sitting out most of the second half, Turpin wound up leading the Cowboys in receiving yards, although Luke Schoonmaker hauled in one more pass. Turpin's five touches and five targets were his highest totals since Week 6, but with Brandin Cooks now off IR, the third-year player could see his usage on offense dwindle once Lamb is healthy. Turpin will remain Dallas' top kick returner regardless, a role in which he's racked up 903 return yards and two touchdowns in 2024.

• Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Returns kickoff to house Sunday

  18D ago • By RotoWire

  Turpin caught his only target for eight yards and added 179 yards on four kickoff returns, including a 99-yard return for a touchdown, in Sunday's win over the Commanders. The two teams combined for four touchdowns in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, and Turpin contributed to the frantic finish with his first career kickoff return for a TD, and his fourth total score of the season (also, two receiving and one punt return). Turpin leads the NFL in return yards with 906, and among primary returners only Washington's Austin Ekeler has more all-purpose yards (1,295 to 1,195).

• Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Finds end zone against Texans

  23D ago • By RotoWire

  Turpin caught all three of his targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 34-10 loss to the Texans. Turpin finished the contest with the best offensive play for the Cowboys, scoring on a 64-yard pass from Cooper Rush early in the second quarter. The third-year wideout has flashed his impressive speed and playmaking ability at points during the 2024 campaign, but his production has mostly been inconsistent with limited touches on offense. It's possible Turpin could see his involvement in the passing game increase going forward, as the struggling Dallas offense could use a spark to turn things around down the stretch. Unfortunately, his usage will likely continue to be difficult to predict from one week to the next. Turpin and the Cowboys are set to visit the Commanders in Week 12.

• Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Targeted four times in loss

  10/30/2024 • By RotoWire

  Turpin caught one of four targets for 16 yards and added one carry for 11 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the 49ers. Turpin had a quiet day against the 49ers, as he was unable to connect with quarterback Dak Prescott on multiple occasions. The 28-year-old wideout played just 14 of the Cowboys' 62 offensive snaps, behind CeeDee Lamb (55), Jalen Tolbert (55) and Jalen Brooks (41). Turpin is not a priority in the Cowboys' passing attack, and his playing time will likely take even more of a hit once Brandin Cooks (knee) returns to the field from his stint on injured reserve. The Cowboys are set to visit the Falcons in Week 9.

• Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Seeing steady work

  10/14/2024 • By RotoWire

  Turpin caught four of seven targets for 24 yards and gained six yards on his only carry in Sunday's loss to the Lions. He also added 194 yards on four kickoff returns. His biggest play came right before halftime, when Turpin took a kickoff at the back of the end zone and zipped 79 yards to the Detroit 30-yard line. The Cowboys only got a field goal out of it, though, en route to a 47-9 shellacking. The seven targets were a career high for Turpin, and the third-year speedster has hauled in eight catches for 74 yards over two games since Brandin Cooks (knee) was placed on IR. Turpin should remain a secondary part of the passing offense, in addition to his special-teams role, on the other side of the Cowboys' Week 7 bye.
