The second-year return man continues to get occasional usage on offense as the Cowboys try to take advantage of his speed and elusiveness, and Turpin's lone grab Thursday produced the team's final offensive score of the afternoon. It's his third receiving TD of the season and fourth overall on just 18 touches, and while that volume doesn't give him a lot of utility in many fantasy leagues, he's provided some value in deeper best-ball leagues.

The second-year return man continues to get occasional usage on offense as the Cowboys try to take advantage of his speed and elusiveness, and Turpin's lone grab Thursday produced the team's final offensive score of the afternoon. It's his third receiving TD of the season and fourth overall on just 18 touches, and while that volume doesn't give him a lot of utility in many fantasy leagues, he's provided some value in deeper best-ball leagues.
Turpin was never able to get on the practice field during Week 10 prep and was believed to be trending toward an absence as a result, and that is now officially confirmed. With the speedy reserve wideout and primary returner out of action Sunday, rookies Jalen Brooks and Deuce Vaughn are in line to fill his No. 5 receiver role and special-teams duties, respectively, versus New York.
The second-year speedster took his lone kickoff return 48 yards to set up a Jake Ferguson TD late in the first quarter, and Dak Prescott then rewarded Turpin with a score of his own on the Cowboys' next possession. The 27-year-old hasn't seen more than two touches in a game on offense since Week 2, but Turpin's gotten into the end zone three times on 14 total touches this season and he remains a threat to take the ball to the house every time he gets his hands on it.
