KaVontae Turpin Working With First-Team Offense

Sunday, August 9, 6:19 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver and returner KaVontae Turpin has had a strong training camp and has worked with the No. 1 offense throughout. Turpin has made plays as a receiver, catching passes from quarterback Dak Prescott, and remains one of the NFL's best returners. Last season, the undrafted playmaker hauled in 26 of 38 targets for 396 yards and two touchdowns, while adding 89 rushing yards and leading the NFL in kick return yards. While he'll likely work behind CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Ryan Flournoy, Turpin adds fantasy value in leagues that favor return yards or in 16+ team leagues. Otherwise, he's on the outside of fantasy relevance for the 2026 season.

Pat Bryant Second-String Despite Strong Camp

Wednesday, August 12, 10:20 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant is listed with the second group on the team's first unofficial depth chart despite an impressive training camp. According to Parker Gabriel, Jaylen Waddle, Courtland Sutton and Marvin Mims Jr. are on the top receiver line, while Bryant is listed alongside Troy Franklin and Lil'Jordan Humphrey as a No. 2. The label is worth noting, but Bryant's practice work has told a more encouraging story. He caught a touchdown from Bo Nix during a first-team period Tuesday, and Broncos coaches have repeatedly praised the plays he has made throughout camp. Sean Payton has also pointed to Bryant's strong hands in traffic, run-after-catch ability and versatility between the outside and slot. Bryant caught 31 passes for 378 yards and one touchdown in 15 games as a rookie, making seven starts. Denver has a crowded receiver room after adding Waddle, so snaps will not come easily. Still, Bryant's second-string listing does not erase the momentum he has built this summer.
