Who Should I Start? KaVontae Turpin or Adonai Mitchell

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin has seen consistent usage as a gadget piece in the team's offense so far in 2025. Through his first three games of the season, Turpin has logged eight catches for 129 yards and a touchdown to go along with 19 rushing yards on five carries. With star Cowboys' wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) potentially facing a multi-week absence due to a high ankle sprain, Dallas could be even more motivated to manufacture touches for Turpin. The 29-year-old will face a tough matchup in Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers, but Turpin could be a decent desperation flex play in deep leagues due to his big-play potential.

The Indianapolis Colts coaching staff is putting faith in second-year wide receiver Adonai Mitchell. A 2024 second-round pick, Mitchell struggled as a rookie, catching just 23 of 55 targets for 312 yards and failing to score a touchdown. Offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter expressed confidence in his development, saying, "When AD's number is called, AD is going to be ready for action." Mitchell could see a bigger role this week with Alec Pierce in the concussion protocol. Last season, Pierce missed one game, during which Mitchell played 89% of the snaps (his second-highest total of the year) but managed only one target that went for 36 yards. If Pierce is sidelined, Mitchell would likely slide into the WR3 role and could become a factor in the Colts' passing attack. For fantasy purposes, Mitchell remains off the radar outside of deep leagues, but his situation is worth monitoring if Pierce misses significant time.
