Who Should I Start? KaVontae Turpin or Tai Felton

Tuesday, November 25, 5:17 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin (illness, shoulder) was back at practice on a limited basis on Tuesday due to an illness and a shoulder injury, per The Athletic's Jon Machota. Turpin's return to the practice field on Tuesday after being a DNP on Monday is a sign that he's trending towards being available on Thanksgiving on Thursday versus the Kansas City Chiefs. The 29-year-old caught one pass for a 48-yard pickup on two targets in Sunday's win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Turpin is more of an asset for Dallas as a kick returner on special teams. He has not caught more than two passes in a game since Sept. 28 against the Green Bay Packers, and his only score on offense in 2025 came back on Sept. 14 versus the New York Giants. If active on Thursday against KC, Turpin isn't a realistic starting option in fantasy football lineups.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Tai Felton is still searching for his first offensive snap as Minnesota prepares to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3. The rookie from Maryland has seen the field, but exclusively on special teams, even as Minnesota has needed extra help at receiver with Jordan Addison (suspension) out for the first three games. It's not a great sign for either Felton or the Vikings, who passed on receiver Elic Ayomanor and running backs Cam Skattebo and Bhayshul Tuten, among others, to select Felton in the third round. Felton is a safe drop in redraft leagues, but still a possible taxi-squad stash in dynasty formats.
