KaVontae Turpin Limited to Minimal Role in Cowboys Offense

Saturday, September 19, 5:27 AM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin had a quiet game in his team's Week 1 loss to the New York Giants, recording one catch for eight yards on one target. The 30-year-old has had moments of fantasy relevance in a gadget role in recent seasons, recording at least 25 catches and 15 carries in both 2024 and 2025. However, Turpin was on the field for just eight of the Cowboys' snaps on offense against the Giants. In addition to the star wide receiver duo of CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, Cowboys wideout Ryan Flournoy has established himself as the clear WR3 in Dallas. As a result, Turpin appears likely to make his greatest impact on special teams, at least to begin the year. Barring an injury to at least one of the wide receivers ahead of him on the depth chart, Turpin can remain off of fantasy radars.

Efton Chism III Has Yet to Establish a Role in the Patriots Passing Game

Saturday, September 26, 6:58 PM

Across two games in 2026, New England Patriots wide receiver Efton Chism III has recorded one catch for -2 yards on one target. With star Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown (ankle) currently on Injured Reserve with a high-ankle sprain, New England is in desperate need of impact pass-catching talent. However, Chism III still appears to be buried on the team's wide receiver depth chart. In the team's first full game without Brown in Week 2, Chism III played fewer offensive snaps than Pats wideouts Mack Hollins, Romeo Doubs, DeMario Douglas, and Kyle Williams. Barring another injury or two in the New England wide receiver room, Chism III should remain off the radar of fantasy managers.
