Who Should I Start? KaVontae Turpin or Isaiah Bond

Thursday, December 4, 10:14 AM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin (shoulder) has been able to put in full practices this week after being banged up and battling illness in the last few weeks, so he should be ready for his usual workload this Thursday against the Lions. Turpin typically plays about 25% of snaps for the Cowboys and gets a few targets each game. He has totaled 19 catches for 260 yards and a touchdown in his 10 games this season, while also taking 12 carries for 63 yards. He had a season-high 33 rushing yards in the Cowboys' Thanksgiving win last week and caught both his targets for 28 receiving yards. With so many options in Dallas's passing game, Turpin is not a great option in most standard-sized leagues, but his big-play potential does give him a high ceiling if he breaks free for a big play. He's the No. 79 WR in RotBaller's Week 14 rankings, so he is best left on the bench in standard-sized leagues, although he is involved enough to be on the radar for DFS action as a bargain option.

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond notched his most receiving yards of the season in the Week 15 loss to the Chicago Bears, catching two of his four targets for 89 yards. Bond posted his highest route share (73.8%) since Week 6 and continues to be a dangerous deep threat for rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders. The undrafted rookie out of Alabama's two deep shots accounted for just over half of Sanders' 177 passing yards for the game. Bond has established himself as a big-play threat in Cleveland's offense and has a growing connection with Sanders, giving him upside as a deep-league boom/bust flex option for the Week 16 game against the Buffalo Bills.
