KaVontae Turpin News
Thursday, August 20, 7:12 PM
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver and returner KaVontae Turpin could see a reduced role in 2026. In 2025, Turpin caught 26 of 38 targets for 396 yards and two touchdowns in 15 games, averaging 4.8 half-PPR fantasy points per game. With a career-high 36% snap share, Turpin is likely to see that number decrease in 2026. With CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens as the two top receivers, third-year receiver Ryan Flournoy has had a strong camp and should see an increased workload in 2026. Flournoy had 475 receiving yards and four touchdowns in 16 games while playing 44% of the snaps. If his role improves, Turpin could be phased out as an outside receiver and used more as a gadget weapon and returner. Currently ranked as the WR108 in RotoBaller's positional rankings, Turpin is well outside fantasy relevance for the 2026 season.

Tory Horton News
Wednesday, September 9, 3:34 PM
Seattle Seahawks second-year wide receiver Tory Horton (hamstring) has officially been ruled out for Thursday's 2026 season opener at home against the visiting New England Patriots, according to the team. Horton played in only eight games as a rookie in 2025 after being selected in the fifth round from Colorado State, and he will begin his second season in the NFL on the sidelines because of a hamstring injury. Even when healthy, Horton should be on the waiver wire in most single-year fantasy football leagues after he caught just 13 passes for 161 yards on 22 targets last year, although he did find the end zone five times. With Horton sidelined for the opener in the Super Bowl rematch, Montorie Foster is expected to serve as the WR4 for the Seahawks, behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, and Cooper Kupp. Horton is not rostered in any Yahoo leagues to begin Week 1. It remains to be seen if he will make his 2026 debut next weekend versus the division-rival Arizona Cardinals on the road.
