KaVontae Turpin Unlikely to Have Significant Offensive Role

Friday, July 10, 10:54 AM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin established himself as an elite returner this past season. He earned himself a trip to the Pro Bowl with his excellent work on special teams. He's valuable in leagues that count return yardage, but is unlikely to have much value outside of that. Turpin finished with 26 receptions, 396 receiving yards, and two touchdowns across 15 games last season. The Cowboys have brought in some competition for the third and fourth wideout roles. Turpin might get lost in the shuffle offensively, but should remain a star in the return game.

Ja'Kobi Lane's Dynasty Upside in Baltimore is Clear

Friday, June 26, 8:12 AM

After recording 49 receptions for 745 yards and four touchdowns across 11 games in his final collegiate season at USC, wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane was selected by the Baltimore Ravens in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Lane is one of two prominent rookie wideouts on the Baltimore roster, as the team also selected Elijah Sarratt in the fourth round. Entering his first NFL season, Lane should have a chance to emerge as an immediate contributor. Zay Flowers is Baltimore's clear WR1, but presumed WR2 Rashod Bateman is coming off a 2025 season in which he was both inconsistent and injured. With a new coaching staff in place, the Ravens could be looking to turn the page and go with their younger pass-catchers. Baltimore has typically been one of the NFL's run-heaviest offenses in the Lamar Jackson/Derrick Henry era, which could put a ceiling on Lane's fantasy production. Still, Lane has a clear pathway to a fantasy-relevant role in Baltimore and should be a target for dynasty managers who are focused on the long term.
