Cashes in on new kickoff rules
Turpin caught 26 of 38 targets for 396 yards and two touchdowns over 15 games in 2025. He also gained 89 rushing yards on 17 carries and led the NFL in kickoff-return yards with 1,814, while adding 55 punt-return yards.
ANALYSIS
The kickoff-return yards were more than double Turpin's 2024 total, as he took full advantage of the league's revised kickoff rules. The 29-year-old wound up finishing second to the Titans' Chimere Dike in total return yards, but Turpin did fail to take any kicks to the house after scoring twice in 2024 as a return man. With two more years left on his contract, Turpin should be back in 2026 as the Cowboys' primary return specialist and an occasional contributor on offense.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Big impact in 2025?
Saad Yousef of The Athletic believes that Turpin will be utilized heavily as a playmaker more than a receiver in the Cowboys' offense.
ANALYSIS
Turpin signed a three-year, $18 million extension with the Cowboys in March after a solid 2024 campaign in which he caught 31 passes on 52 targets for 420 yards and two touchdowns while also logging a touchdown as both a punt and kick returner. CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and Jake Ferguson figure to see the bulk of the receiving production, but Yousef relays that the Cowboys have utilized Turpin out of the backfield and on quick routes near the line of scrimmage during minicamp. Even if he's not Dak Prescott's first look in the passing game, Turpin should still have a significant role in the Cowboys' offense in 2025.
