Who Should I Start? KaVontae Turpin or Roman Wilson

Tuesday, March 11, 2:07 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver/return specialist KaVontae Turpin is signing back with the Dallas Cowboys on a three-year, $18 million deal, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. The 28-year-old was recently given a second-round tender that would pay him $5.38 million in 2025 but has now agreed to the new deal. Turpin went undrafted in 2019 out of TCU and spent four different alternative leagues before signing with Dallas in 2022. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2022 and 2024 and has a first-team All-Pro nod for his work as a return specialist in 2024. Overall, Turpin has returned 60 punts for 569 yards and one touchdown and returned 58 kickoffs for 1,704 yards and a score in 50 career games. As a receiver, he's hauled in 44 passes for 556 yards and five touchdowns. Turpin plays a valuable role for Dallas, but he's unlikely to be on the fantasy football radar since he's primarily a special teamer.

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver Roman Wilson (hamstring), who remains on the Physically Unable to Perform list, was officially ruled out on Thursday for the team's wild-card playoff game on Saturday night against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. Wilson has been practicing in full with the rest of the team since he was designated to return from the PUP list, but the Steelers are going to play it safe and keep the 23-year-old third-rounder out this weekend. It's unclear if Wilson will be activated to play if the Steelers advance past the Ravens to play in the Divisional Round next week. Wilson has been active for 10 games in his first year in the NFL but hasn't been targeted at all. Pittsburgh will move forward with George Pickens, Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin III as their wideouts in three-wide sets against Baltimore.
