Who Should I Start? Samson Nacua or KaVontae Turpin

Friday, August 2, 1:51 PM

The New Orleans Saints signed wide receiver Samson Nacua on Friday, the team announced on X. The brother of 2023 breakout star Puka Nacua spent four seasons at Utah before one year at BYU in 2021 and tallied 103 receptions for 1,344 yards and 14 touchdowns in 58 collegiate games. He went undrafted and last played for the Michigan Panthers of the UFL this spring, catching 11 passes for 125 yards. The 26-year-old is unlikely to be a fantasy football contributor in 2024, but he has an outside chance of making the team's roster given the lack of depth behind Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin converted five targets into four catches for a team-high 53 receiving yards during Thursday's Week 13 win over the New York Giants. Turpin is primarily a special teams contributor and is typically inconsistent on offense, but we can't ignore that he has three-plus catches and 50-plus yards in two of his last three games. His expanded role was particularly surprising this week given that Brandin Cooks made his return from injured reserve, so Turpin was fourth on the depth chart. The 28-year-old should be avoided in leagues with 14 or fewer teams, but he's at least worth monitoring in deeper formats.
