Who Should I Start? KaVontae Turpin or Justin Shorter

Monday, January 6, 9:23 AM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver/return specialist KaVontae Turpin touched the ball four times offensively on Sunday in the 23-19 loss to Washington. Turpin turned three receptions into 53 yards while also rushing once for five yards. He also ripped off a 30-yard kick return. The 28-year-old gadget player saw more involvement in the offense down the stretch with CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) out. Turpin becomes a restricted free agent in the spring, but Dallas will likely bring him back after a Pro Bowl season.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Justin Shorter caught two of his three targets for 15 yards in Saturday afternoon's preseason loss to the visiting Carolina Panthers at Highmark Stadium. Shorter's long gain of the day came on a 10-yard reception in Saturday's defeat to the Panthers. The 24-year-old wideout was a fifth-round pick out of Florida by the Bills in the 2023 NFL Draft, but he didn't see the field in any capacity during his rookie season in Orchard Park a year ago. Shorter still has a chance to make Buffalo's final 53-man roster as depth for the receiving corps, but he'll probably end up being a healthy inactive on gamedays more often than not while the team is healthy.
