Who Should I Start? KaVontae Turpin or Roman Wilson

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin (foot) returned to practice on Wednesday after missing the past two games with a foot sprain. Turpin has quietly been efficient this season, hauling in 11 of 13 targets for 159 yards and a touchdown. While he's not a focal point of the Dallas passing attack, his speed and versatility keep him involved enough to offer deep-league or bye-week appeal. With the Cowboys offense passing at a high volume, Turpin could provide sneaky flex value if he's cleared to play in Week 7. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his practice participation throughout the week before considering him as a potential plug-in option.

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith said there could be more opportunities for Roman Wilson and the team's other receivers going forward, depending on the health of Calvin Austin III (shoulder), who left the Week 4 win over the Minnesota Vikings in Ireland with a shoulder injury. Wilson had played at least 17% of the offensive snaps in the first three weeks of the season, but that number fell to 6% in Sunday's win over Minnesota. The 24-year-old hasn't been targeted in three of four games this year, catching one of his two targets for seven yards in the Week 2 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Pittsburgh has its bye in Week 5, so it's entirely possible that Austin will be ready to go in Week 6 against the division-rival Cleveland Browns, thus relegating Wilson to a low-volume role yet again.
