Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Non-factor against Philadelphia
KaVontae Turpin went without a target while playing eight snaps on offense and returned two kickoffs for 87 yards in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Eagles.Turpin was not targeted for just the second time all season and was held without a touch on offense for the third time in nine games. The third-year wideout's eight snaps on offense were the fewest of any Dallas wide receiver who was active for the contest. Turpin's limited usage, along with the fact that quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) will miss the rest of the season, will keep Turpin well off the fantasy radar.

Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Three grabs in Atlanta
KaVontae Turpin caught three of four targets for 36 yards in Sunday's loss to the Falcons. He also added 65 return yards on three punts and one kickoff.The third-year wideout had a chance to take a punt to the house in the fourth quarter, but he couldn't stay in bounds as he raced down the sideline. Turpin has seen at least four targets in four straight games as his role in the offense grows, posting a 12-126-0 line on 20 targets over that stretch while adding 11 yards on three carries, and he could see even more volume Week 10 against the Eagles if CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) isn't able to suit up.

Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Targeted four times in loss
KaVontae 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 Dallas 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
KaVontae 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 Dallas 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.

Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Five touches Sunday
KaVontae Turpin caught four of five targets for 50 yards and lost six yards on his only carry in Sunday's win over the Steelers. He added 38 yards on his only kickoff return.With Brandin Cooks (knee) on IR, Turpin stepped into the No. 3 wide receiver role behind CeeDee Lamb and Jalen Tolbert and set season highs in receptions and targets. Turpin's biggest play came on the Dallas Cowboys' first drive of the second half, as Dak Prescott found him deep over the middle for a 34-yard strike. Turpin isn't likely to see big volume without further injuries ahead of him on the Dallas depth chart, but his ability to pop for a big gain any time he gets the ball makes him an upside option while Cooks is sidelined.

Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Finds end zone in loss
KaVontae Turpin caught all three of his targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Ravens.He also added one yard on his lone carry. Turpin's first offensive TD of the season came late in the fourth quarter on a 16-yard pass from Dak Prescott as the Dallas Cowboys furiously tried to rally from a 21-6 halftime deficit. With Brandin Cooks struggling, Turpin's role on offense could continue to increase, but his main value to Dallas comes in the return game, as he has 165 total return yards through three games, including a Week 1 punt-return touchdown.

Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Takes punt to house Sunday
KaVontae Turpin failed to catch his only target but produced 130 return yards in Sunday's win over the Browns, including a 60-yard punt return for a touchdown.It's the first career return TD for the dynamic 28-year-old. Turpin's 96 punt return yards Sunday already exceeds his total from all of 2023, and he took advantage of the NFL's new rules to jet 34 yards on his lone kickoff return. The big performance will likely remind other teams why they stopped kicking the ball to Turpin last year, but as he has shown in his cameos on offense -- four TDs on only 27 career touches -- he's capable of scoring anytime he gets the ball in his hands.

Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Doesn't play in preseason
KaVontae Turpin didn't see action in any of Dallas' three preseason games this year.That's good news for the TCU product, as Turpin is locked in as the Dallas Cowboys' top kick returner and had nothing to prove during the exhibition schedule. Teams avoided putting the ball in Turpin's hands last year, and his total return yards dropped from 811 in his rookie campaign to 371 in 2023, but the NFL's new kickoff rules should give the 28-year-old more opportunities to break away for his first career kick return touchdown. With CeeDee Lamb still holding out and Brandin Cooks (knee) not 100 percent at the end of training camp, Turpin could also see more snaps on offense early in the season after he scored four TDs on only 23 offensive touches last year.

Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Gets more involved in offense
KaVontae Turpin caught 12 of 18 targets for 127 yards and three touchdowns, gained 110 yards and a TD on 11 carries and added 371 return yards over 16 regular-season games in 2023.Teams learned not to kick it to Turpin after his impressive rookie campaign as a returner in 2022, but the Dallas Cowboys found ways to get the ball in his hands on offense instead, and the 27-year-old delivered one of the most eye-popping TD-to-touch ratios in the league. Turpin's last touchdown came Week 12, though, and he got only five touches in seven games down the stretch, including Dallas' wild-card loss to Green Bay. He has one more season left on his current contract worth less than $1 million, but it wouldn't be surprising if the Cowboys signed him to an extension this offseason given his value on special teams and as a gadget player on offense.

Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Hauls in Thanksgiving TD
KaVontae Turpin caught his only target for a 34-yard touchdown in a 45-10 rout of the Commanders on Thanksgiving.The second-year return man continues to get occasional usage on offense as the Dallas Cowboys try to take advantage of his speed and elusiveness, and Turpin's lone grab Thursday produced the team's final offensive score of the afternoon. It's his third receiving TD of the season and fourth overall on just 18 touches, and while that volume doesn't give him a lot of utility in many fantasy leagues, he's provided some value in deeper best-ball leagues.
