KaVontae Turpin Fantasy

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin scored a rushing touchdown in a 40-0 Week 1 blowout win over the New York Giants. Turpin was targeted three times in the passing game, catching two passes for 11 yards. He also ran the ball three times, gaining 14 yards and scoring on a seven yard run. It looks like he'll work in a versatile role in what should be a strong offense, giving him some possible WR5 value in deeper leagues.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin is the team's full-time return man on special teams heading into the 2023 regular season, and special teams coordinator John Fassel expects Turpin to have an even bigger season this year in the return game as he continues to pick up a role on offense. "I see him as the guy who's returning kickoffs and punts, and as Deuce Vaughn continues to get some work, he'll be right there too to give us an extra guy," Fassel said. "Going into the season, you always want at least two guys that can do it. I think we actually have more than two." The 27-year-old was a Pro Bowler on special teams in his rookie season in 2022 after returning 21 kickoffs for 508 yards and 29 punts for 303 yards in 17 games. On offense, though, he caught just one of two targets for nine yards and carried the ball three times for 17 yards.

The Dallas Cowboys officially signed USFL Most Valuable Player and wide receiver/kick returner KaVontae Turpin to an undisclosed deal on Thursday. Turpin was a standout for the New Jersey Generals in the USFL and caught 44 passes for a league-high 540 receiving yards this year. The 25-year-old went undrafted out of TCU after he was dismissed from the team in 2018 due to a domestic-violence charge. He'll be hoping that his work on special teams can win him a roster spot this summer, but he could be a long shot to make Dallas' final 53-man roster.
