Who Should I Start? KaVontae Turpin or Derius Davis

Dallas Cowboys restricted free-agent wide receiver/kick returner KaVontae Turpin is expected to receive a second-round tender ($5.34 million) from the team, according to the Dallas Morning News' Calvin Watkins. Meanwhile, unrestricted free agents Carl Lawson and Chauncey Golston could walk this offseason. The Cowboys would like to bring back unrestricted free agents Bryan Anger and Trent Sieg. The move to give Turpin a second-round tender likely means that he'll be back with Dallas in 2025 after he made his second Pro Bowl in 2024 as a kick returner. The 28-year-old finished last year with 904 kickoff-return yards while being the only player in the NFL to return both a kickoff and a punt for touchdowns. On offense, he wasn't a big factor, catching 31 of his 52 targets for 420 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games (two starts).

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Derius Davis could find himself with an expanded role in a Wild Card Round matchup against the Houston Texans on Saturday. Davis went on a solid hot streak near the end of the season, scoring touchdowns in Weeks 16 and 17. With Joshua Palmer (foot) ruled out and Quentin Johnston (thigh/illness) questionable, Davis could be needed to work alongside Ladd McConkey and D.J. Chark. Davis hasn't seen more than 37% of the team's offensive snaps in any game this season, and he averaged somewhere around 16%, so even with the injuries ahead of him, he shouldn't be expected to take on an enormous role. Still, he could be a value pick in playoff fantasy contests who happens to find himself in the end zone.
