2024 Fantasy Outlook
After a dynamic rookie season as a return man, teams avoided kicking the ball to Turpin last year, and his yardage dropped from 811 in 2022 to 371. He saw more work on offense, though, and Turpin scored his first career NFL touchdowns last season - three on the ground, one through the air - despite getting only 23 total touches. With RB Tony Pollard and WR Michael Gallup both gone, the Cowboys are relying on internal options to step up, and Turpin's usage as a gadget player could increase again. The 27-year-old isn't likely to become a full-time offensive player, however. Read Past Outlooks

Finds end zone against Texans
Turpin caught all three of his targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 34-10 loss to the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Turpin finished the contest with the best offensive play for the Cowboys, scoring on a 64-yard pass from Cooper Rush early in the second quarter. The third-year wideout has flashed his impressive speed and playmaking ability at points during the 2024 campaign, but his production has mostly been inconsistent with limited touches on offense. It's possible Turpin could see his involvement in the passing game increase going forward, as the struggling Dallas offense could use a spark to turn things around down the stretch. Unfortunately, his usage will likely continue to be difficult to predict from one week to the next. Turpin and the Cowboys are set to visit the Commanders in Week 12.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The 26-year-old parlayed an MVP season in the USFL into a contract with the Cowboys last summer, and Turpin solved the team's kick-return woes in his first NFL campaign. The TCU product didn't see much action on offense, however, catching just one pass and taking a few carries on jet sweeps. While there could be some depth snaps at wide receiver available following the departure of Noah Brown, Dallas did trade for Brandin Cooks this offseason and still has CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup at the top of the depth chart. It's hard to see Turpin making much of an impact outside of his return duties in 2023.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could get expanded role on offense
Turpin could see a larger role in Dallas' offense against the Steelers in Week 5, as Jon Machota of The Athletic reports that Brandin Cooks will miss the game due to a knee injury.
ANALYSIS
Turpin ranks fourth among Cowboys wide receivers with eight targets and 55 receiving yards, trailing CeeDee Lamb, Jalen Tolbert and Cooks. With Cooks out of the picture against Pittsburgh, Turpin is likely to see the field frequently in three-receiver sets alongside Lamb and Tolbert, though Jalen Brooks could also see additional action at wide receiver. Turpin is known primarily for his special teams prowess as a return man, but has four receiving touchdowns since the start of last season, including a 16-yard touchdown catch in Week 3 against the Ravens.
