Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin scored a touchdown on Thanksgiving in a Week 12 win over the Washington Commanders. Turpin was only targeted once, but he made the most out of it, scoring a 34-yard touchdown near the end of the fourth quarter. With the Cowboys well ahead and not much time left, Turpin and others down on the depth chart had a chance to play, and Turpin found himself in the end zone. It was an exciting play for the second-year pass catcher, but not something fantasy relevant unless multiple other Cowboys pass catchers are forced to miss time.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. The 27-year-old wideout missed the Cowboys' Week 10 win over the New York Giants so it's encouraging to see him log a full practice to begin the week. He's mainly just a special teams contributor, however, he has scored three offensive touchdowns this season on 69 receiving and 66 rushing yards. His return will add yet another dynamic to the high-flying Cowboys offense.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin (shoulder) is officially inactive for Week 10 versus the New York Giants. Turpin had been listed as questionable, though there was not much optimism about his status after he failed to practice this past week. As Dallas' primary kick and punt returner, Turpin's absence has the biggest impact on special teams. Rico Dowdle should return kicks while Deuce Vaughn fields punts on Sunday.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin (shoulder) is not expected to play in Week 10 versus the New York Giants, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Turpin had been listed as questionable, though there was not much optimism about his status after he failed to practice this past week. Given that the 27-year-old has just seven catches for 69 yards this year, his absence isn't a major loss for Dallas' offense. In fact, it's bigger news for the special teams unit considering Turpin had been returning kickoffs and punts. Rico Dowdle and Deuce Vaughn should assume those respective roles this Sunday.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin (shoulder) missed all three practices this week. However, he is listed as questionable for Sunday's game as the team leaves the door open for him to play. The 27-year-old hasn't been a major offensive producer this season but did contribute a five-yard touchdown reception in last weekend's loss to the Eagles. Even if Turpin does overcome a week of missed practices and is active versus the Giants, he's not on the fantasy radar.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin (shoulder) was held out of practice on Wednesday. Turpin injured his shoulder on a punt return in the Cowboys' 28-23 loss last week against the Philadelphia Eagles. The speedy playmaker hasn't seen many opportunities on offense this season. But he did catch his second touchdown of the year in Week 9, securing a five-yard score. Turpin also had a nice 48-year kick return in the first quarter, which eventually set up a Jake Ferguson touchdown. The 27-year-old doesn't get many chances in Dallas' offense, so he should likely remain on waivers in fantasy.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver/returner KaVontae Turpin (ankle) practiced in full on Friday after he was a non-participant in Thursday's session. Turpin was originally feared to have suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 5 blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers, which would have almost certainly knocked him out for multiple weeks. The fact that he returned to a full practice on Friday means that he avoided the dreaded high-ankle sprain and he'll have a chance to suit up on Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Cowboys will release their final injury report on Saturday, and Turpin could be cleared to play. If the 27-year-old is active, he will not be on the fantasy radar despite scoring Dallas' lone touchdown in Week 5.
KaVontae Turpin Believed To Have High-Ankle Sprain
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin (ankle) is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday night's beatdown at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers, according to a source. This type of injury usually carries a recovery timetable of four to six weeks, but Turpin is undergoing an MRI exam to confirm and determine the severity of the injury. The 27-year-old receiver/kick returner had two kickoff returns for 33 yards on Sunday and also caught his only target for a 26-yard touchdown before getting hurt in Week 5. Turpin now has two touchdowns in five games this year, but he's not on the fantasy radar with just six carries for 66 yards and five catches for 51 yards.
KaVontae Turpin Forced From Sunday Night Football With Ankle Injury
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver and special teams ace KaVontae Turpin suffered an ankle injury during the team's loss to San Francisco and did not return. The speedster serves as the Cowboys' kick and punt returner but sees a handful of offensive snaps per game. In fact, Turpin caught his first career receiving touchdown (the Cowboys' only touchdown of the game) in the second quarter before departing. The former USFL MVP also has one career rushing touchdown to his name. Dallas will face the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football in Week 6.
KaVontae Turpin Scores The Only Cowboys Touchdown In Week 5
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin (ankle) scored the only touchdown for the Cowboys in a Week 5 blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Turpin was only targeted once, but he made it count, catching a 26-yard pass for six points in the second quarter. Turpin hasn't been too heavily involved on offense, but he's certainly shown big play ability when on the field. He was forced to leave the game with an ankle injury and was ruled out for the remainder of the game, but even if he's healthy, he'll remain well outside of fantasy consideration unless the Cowboys suffer some injuries ahead of him on the depth chart.
