"Injuries forced Turpin to miss Dallas' next two games, and since he returned to the field in Week 7 against the Commanders, the 29-year-old hasn't had much of a role in the offense. Over the Cowboys' last three games, Turpin has totaled just four receptions for 25 yards while rushing the ball just one time for three yards. Drops in the passing game have certainly been a factor in Turpin's lack of production,"
"With the rare speed that Turpin possesses, there is no reason he shouldn't be touching the ball at least four or five times a game, like he did in three of Dallas' first four matchups of the season. Downfield passes are clearly not Turpin's strong suit, so the Cowboys need to get back to giving him the ball quickly in the intermediate passing game so he can use his speed to make defenders miss."
Dallas sits at 3-5-1 and faces a must-win matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. KaVontae Turpin, 29, signed a three-year contract extension and started 2025 involved in the offense with 11 receptions for 159 yards and six rushes for 23 yards across four games. Injuries forced him to miss two games, and since returning he has managed just four receptions for 25 yards and one three-yard rush over the last three contests. Drops have contributed to his decline, but reduced creative usage has been equally impactful. The Cowboys should restore four to five touches per game with quick intermediate passes to let Turpin use his speed to make defenders miss.
