Bo Melton Expected to be Ready for Offseason Workouts

Wednesday, January 14, 12:15 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver/cornerback Bo Melton (ankle) said that he expects to need just one month to recover from the ankle injury that he suffered in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Minnesota Vikings, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Barring a setback, Melton should be good to take part in the team's offseason workouts in the spring. The 26-year-old is unsure if he'll work more as a receiver or defensive back going into the 2026 season. Melton was mostly a backup wideout for the Packers this year, catching only four passes for 107 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets, transitioning more to a defensive role. He'll be a restricted free agent this offseason, which means he'll most likely return to Green Bay. We aren't expecting Melton to have any real fantasy football value in the fall.

KaVontae Turpin Could Remain Buried on Cowboys Wide Receiver Depth Chart

Wednesday, February 25, 8:22 AM

Across 15 games in 2025, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin hauled in 26 receptions for 396 yards and two touchdowns on 38 targets. After logging a career-high 52 targets in 2024, Turpin fell back into a gadget role in the Cowboys' offense in 2025 behind wideouts CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Ryan Flournoy. Turpin brings some fantasy upside with his rushing ability, as he's racked up 308 yards and a touchdown on 47 career carries. However, he's yet to hit 20 rush attempts in a season, so his ability to bolster his production for fantasy managers is limited. The Cowboys could be headed for a contractual standoff with Pickens this offseason, which could throw their wide receiver room into flux to some degree. Still, assuming Pickens is eventually brought back, Turpin will likely remain buried on the team's depth chart in 2026.
