Who Should I Start? Jalin Hyatt or KaVontae Turpin

Saturday, November 15, 10:14 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt should handle increased opportunities against the Green Bay Packers in Week 11 with Darius Slayton (hamstring) sidelined. The 24-year-old is still searching for some sort of third-year breakout, as he's never finished higher than WR98 (PPR) in an individual season, nor has he scored a touchdown. His usage has remained minimal this year, as he's caught just three passes for 17 yards. The 24-year-old hasn't played an offensive snap since Week 7, but that should change this week as Hyatt steps into a larger role with Slayton ruled out. In fact, he'll likely operate as the team's No. 3 wide receiver behind Wan'Dale Robinson and Gunner Olszewski. The Giants enter this weekend with Jameis Winston as their temporary starting quarterback, and his gunslinging mentality should bode well for the Giants' receivers. However, despite the increased role and intriguing quarterback pairing, Hyatt's lack of a track record makes him tough to trust in your fantasy lineups. He has WR3/flex upside, but managers can probably find better options elsewhere on the waiver wire.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin has just four catches for 25 yards over his last three games, but he has offered a much greater spark on special teams and should continue to handle return duties when the team returns from its Week 10 bye. Turpin has 18 kick returns over his last four games, including six last week against the Arizona Cardinals. His 722 kick return yards in 2025 rank fourth-most in the NFL. Turpin's role on offense has been minimal behind CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Jalen Tolbert, but he should continue to make a significant impact on special teams when the Cowboys face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11.
