KaVontae Turpin start or sit: Week 3 fantasy football advice

Dak Prescott and the Cowboys have been on point offensively so far this season and they’ve had to due to their defense giving up 30.5 points and 404 yards per game. That allows for a whole bunch of offense to make up for the defenses deficiencies. So far, the Cowboys offense has been able to produce startable games from Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, Jake Ferguson, George Pickens, Javonte Williams and last week, KaVontae Turpin.

Below, we’ll go over KaVontae Turpin’s outlook in fantasy football for Week 3.

Turpin has been a strong return man, as his ability in space is exceptional. That hasn’t translated into consistent offensive stats, as he doesn’t get on the field enough. But, last week, Turpin saw four targets and two rushing attempts which helped him to four receptions for 47 yards and a touchdown and two carries for six yards. Six touches a game isn’t great, but for someone with the explosiveness of Turpin, six touches can be enough. The trouble is, this was a crazy game against the Giants that went to overtime. The Cowboys ran 83 total plays in the game, which is a ton.

This matchup with the Bears is also great, as their defense has allowed 382 yards and 39.5 points per game so far. That does bode well for Turpin, as long as he can get touches.

Sit. I love Turpin’s upside, but I’m not going to be able to trust him until he can consistently see enough targets to keep his floor from being close to zero.

Sit.
