KaVontae Turpin a Best Ball Option at Best in 2026

Sunday, July 26, 6:14 AM

While he has never finished as a top 70 wide receiver for fantasy, Dallas Cowboys fifth-year veteran KaVontae Turpin is no stranger to making highlight-worthy catches, with the explosive playmaking ability he's long brought to the return game translating offensively whenever he's been given an opportunity. During last season's Week 17 fantasy championship, he housed his only target for an 86-yard touchdown that was enough to make him the WR10 on the week. Unfortunately, a lack of consistent involvement and a stacked depth chart ahead of him make him difficult to trust as anything more than a late-round dart throw in deep best ball leagues. Even there, he has only cracked the top 24 of the position four times over the past two seasons, and having never hit 20 fantasy points in a game, he lacks the true upside to single-handedly win weeks when he does pop off. An older prospect when he came into the league as an undrafted free agent in 2022, Turpin will soon turn 30, and he is not a player expected to have a major fantasy impact in 2026.

Skyler Bell a Late-Round Redraft Sleeper to Target Entering 2026

Monday, July 20, 7:10 AM

Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Skyler Bell was one of the most productive pass-catchers in college football in 2025, recording 101 catches for 1,278 yards and 13 touchdowns across 13 games at the University of Connecticut. After being drafted in the fourth round this past April by Buffalo, Bell has a chance to emerge as an immediate contributor in the NFL. The Bills added veteran wideout DJ Moore over the offseason to a wide receiver corps that also features Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer, and Keon Coleman. However, Buffalo has been searching for high-impact wide receiver talent for the last several seasons. If Bell proves that he can be a difference-maker with a strong showing this summer, the Bills' incumbent wide receiver options will not hold him back from seeing the field. As the WR106 by current redraft ADP, Bell is a late-round sleeper for fantasy managers to target entering 2026.
