Leading receiver on Thanksgiving Turpin caught four of five targets for 53 yards in a 27-20 win over the Giants on Thanksgiving. He added two rushing yards on his lone carry.
Impact With CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) sitting out most of the second half, Turpin wound up leading the Cowboys in receiving yards, although Luke Schoonmaker hauled in one more pass. Turpin's five touches and five targets were his highest totals since Week 6, but with Brandin Cooks now off IR, the third-year player could see his usage on offense dwindle once Lamb is healthy. Turpin will remain Dallas' top kick returner regardless, a role in which he's racked up 903 return yards and two touchdowns in 2024.

Returns kickoff to house Sunday Turpin caught his only target for eight yards and added 179 yards on four kickoff returns, including a 99-yard return for a touchdown, in Sunday's win over the Commanders.
Impact The two teams combined for four touchdowns in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, and Turpin contributed to the frantic finish with his first career kickoff return for a TD, and his fourth total score of the season (two receiving, one punt return). Turpin leads the NFL in return yards with 906, and among primary returners only Washington's Austin Ekeler has more all-purpose yards (1,295 to 1,195).

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.
Impact 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. Its 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.

Non-factor against Philadelphia Turpin failed to record a single target in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Eagles.
Impact Turpin was not targeted in the passing attack for just the second time all season and was held without a touch one offense for the third time through nine games. The third-year wideout played just eight of the Cowboys' 60 offensive snaps, the fewest of any Dallas wide receiver in the contest. Turpin's limited usage, along with the fact that Dak Prescott (hamstring) is undergoing season-ending surgery, are more than enough to keep Turpin off the fantasy radar. The Cowboys will host the Texans in Week 11.

Three grabs in Atlanta Turpin caught three of four targets for 36 yards in Sunday's loss to the Falcons. He also added 65 return yards on three punts and one kickoff.
Impact The third-year wideout had a chance to take a punt to the house in the fourth quarter, but he couldn't stay in bounds as he raced down the sideline. Turpin has seen at least four targets in four straight games as his role in the offense grows, posting a 12-126-0 line on 20 targets over that stretch while adding 11 rushing yards on three carries, and he could see even more volume in Week 10 against the Eagles if CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) isn't able to suit up.
NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Targeted four times in loss Turpin caught one of four targets for 16 yards and added one carry for 11 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the 49ers.
Impact Turpin had a quiet day against the 49ers, as he was unable to connect with quarterback Dak Prescott on multiple occasions. The 28-year-old wideout played just 14 of the Cowboys' 62 offensive snaps, behind CeeDee Lamb (55), Jalen Tolbert (55) and Jalen Brooks (41). Turpin is not a priority in the Cowboys' passing attack, and his playing time will likely take even more of a hit once Brandin Cooks (knee) returns to the field from his stint on injured reserve. The Cowboys are set to visit the Falcons in Week 9.

OCTOBER 19 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Seeing steady work Turpin caught four of seven targets for 24 yards and gained six yards on his only carry in Sunday's loss to the Lions. He also added 194 yards on four kickoff returns.
Impact His biggest play came right before halftime, when Turpin took a kickoff at the back of the end zone and zipped 79 yards to the Detroit 30-yard line. The Cowboys only got a field goal out of it though, en route to a 47-9 shellacking. The seven targets were a career high for Turpin, and the third-year speedster has hauled in eight catches for 74 yards over two games since Brandin Cooks (knee) was placed on IR. Turpin should remain a secondary part of the passing offense, in addition to his special-teams role, on the other side of the Cowboys' Week 7 bye.
OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Five touches Sunday Turpin caught four of five targets for 50 yards and lost six yards on his only carry in Sunday's win over the Steelers. he added 38 yards on his only kickoff return.
Impact With Brandin Cooks (knee) on IR, Turpin stepped into the No. 3 wide receiver role behind CeeDee Lamb and Jalen Tolbert and set season highs in receptions and targets. His biggest play came on the Cowboys' first drive of the second half, as Dak Prescott found him deep over the middle for a 34-yard strike. Turpin isn't likely to see big volume without further injuries ahead of him on the Dallas depth chart, but his ability to pop for a big gain any time he gets the ball makes him an upside option while Cooks is sidelined.

Finds end zone in loss Turpin caught all three of his targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Ravens.
Impact He also added one yard on his lone carry. Turpin's first offensive TD of the season came late in the fourth quarter on a 16-yard pass from Dak Prescott as the Cowboys furiously tried to rally from a 21-6 halftime deficit. With Brandin Cooks struggling, Turpin's role on offense could continue to increase, but his main value to Dallas comes in the return game, as he has 165 total return yards through three games, including a Week 1 punt-return touchdown.

Takes punt to house Sunday Turpin failed to catch his only target but produced 130 return yards in Sunday's win over the Browns, including a 60-yard punt return for a touchdown.
Impact It's the first career return TD for the dynamic 28-year-old. Turpin's 96 punt return yards Sunday already exceeds his total from all of 2023, and he took advantage of the NFL's new rules to jet 34 yards on his lone kickoff return. The big performance will likely remind other teams why they stopped kicking the ball to Turpin last year, but as he has shown in his cameos on offense -- four TDs on only 27 career touches -- he's capable of scoring anytime he gets the ball in his hands.

Everything you need to know about the new NFL kickoffs, before kickoff
After crunching the numbers on more than 400 preseason kickoffs, here’s how the new NFL model might impact the upcoming season.AUGUST 26
Doesn't play in preseason Turpin didn't see action in any of Dallas' three preseason games this year.
Impact That's good news for the TCU product, as Turpin is locked in as the Cowboys' top kick returner and had nothing to prove during the exhibition schedule. Teams avoided putting the ball in Turpin's hands last year, and his total return yards dropped from 811 in his rookie campaign to 371 in 2023, but the NFL's new kickoff rules should give the 28-year-old more opportunities to break away for his first career kick return touchdown. With CeeDee Lamb still holding out and Brandin Cooks (knee) not 100 percent at the end of training camp, Turpin could also see more snaps on offense early in the season after he scored four TDs on only 23 offensive touches last year.
