Who Should I Start? Tim Patrick or KaVontae Turpin

Tuesday, December 9, 2:02 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Tim Patrick had five receptions for 78 yards and a touchdown on six targets during Sunday's win over the division-rival Indianapolis Colts. Patrick posted season-best marks in catches and yards while scoring his third touchdown of the year. The 32-year-old wideout saw an uptick in snaps with Parker Washington (hip) out of the lineup, playing 65.6% of the offensive snaps, his second-highest mark of the season. Patrick was acquired by the Jaguars from the Detroit Lions before the start of the regular season, and while he hasn't played a massive role, he's earned at least four targets in three of the past four games. Patrick still profiles as more of a deep-league option, but that could change if he stacks another performance like this. He'll be worth considering as a deep-league flex play in Week 15 against the New York Jets if Washington misses another game.

Across 15 games in 2025, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin hauled in 26 receptions for 396 yards and two touchdowns on 38 targets. After logging a career-high 52 targets in 2024, Turpin fell back into a gadget role in the Cowboys' offense in 2025 behind wideouts CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Ryan Flournoy. Turpin brings some fantasy upside with his rushing ability, as he's racked up 308 yards and a touchdown on 47 career carries. However, he's yet to hit 20 rush attempts in a season, so his ability to bolster his production for fantasy managers is limited. The Cowboys could be headed for a contractual standoff with Pickens this offseason, which could throw their wide receiver room into flux to some degree. Still, assuming Pickens is eventually brought back, Turpin will likely remain buried on the team's depth chart in 2026.
