KaVontae Turpin Blocked Off from a Significant Offensive Role in Dallas

Sunday, March 29, 8:09 AM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin has established an NFL role for himself as an All-Pro return man and a gadget piece on offense. Across 15 games in 2025, the 29-year-old recorded 26 receptions for 396 receiving yards and two touchdowns while also rushing for 89 yards on 17 attempts. However, Turpin has not cracked 50 total touches in any of his four NFL seasons, limiting his fantasy utility. Heading into 2026, the Cowboys have three wideouts firmly ahead of Turpin on the depth chart in CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Ryan Flournoy. Dallas also made a significant free agent commitment to running back Javonte Williams, who profiles as a three-down workhorse. While Turpin's role on the Cowboys' roster is safe, he may not have a path to a consistent role in the Dallas offense in 2026.

Is Jayden Higgins a Year 2 Breakout Candidate?

Monday, April 13, 7:07 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins flashed upside during his rookie season in 2025, catching 41 passes for 525 yards and six touchdowns. He opened the year third on the depth chart but ultimately surpassed Christian Kirk, settling into the No. 2 receiver role behind Nico Collins. The Texans' receiver room remains a bit crowded going forward, as Tank Dell (knee) should return to the mix next season, and Jaylin Noel is also trending up. However, Higgins' track record from his rookie campaign suggests that he could remain penciled into the No. 2 role behind Collins. He totaled nine targets, four catches, 111 yards, two touchdowns, and 27.1 full-PPR fantasy points over his final two games last season. Given the momentum that he had near the end of the season, he's trending up this offseason and is a real threat to break out in Year 2. At the moment, the Iowa State product ranks as the #45 wide receiver in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings.
