Explosive Gadget Playmaker Faces Steep Climb for Consistent Fantasy Relevance
The Cowboys' passing attack is heavily concentrated around CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and tight end Jake Ferguson. Operating as a situational speedster in the slot rotation, Turpin remains an explosive real-world weapon whose gadget usage rarely translates into steady volume, despite recent training camp deep-ball connections with Dak Prescott.
After posting consecutive seasons with over 400 receiving yards, our projections anticipate a more modest offensive footprint. We project Turpin for 18 receptions on 28 targets for 230 receiving yards and two touchdowns, while adding 18 rush attempts for 102 rushing yards (63.3 fantasy points).
Draft market momentum has cratered over the summer, with his ADP tumbling from around pick 290 in late July to past pick 600 in late August. Fantasy managers have largely moved on, making Turpin an undrafted depth asset who belongs strictly on the waiver wire to begin the season.

Outlook Mike Evans
Veteran Red-Zone Weapon Offers Intriguing Mid-Round Value in New-Look 49ers Offense
Evans enters his first campaign in San Francisco slated as a primary outside receiver alongside Deebo Samuel Sr., Christian Kirk, and George Kittle in Brock Purdy's high-efficiency offense. With Brandon Aiyuk off the active roster and Ricky Pearsall on injured reserve, Evans steps into immediate boundary volume and premier red-zone usage.
Our projections anticipate a bounce-back year, forecasting 75 receptions on 111 targets for 960 yards and 7 touchdowns (195.0 fantasy points). While he is entering his age-33 season following an injury-shortened 2025, his consistent contested-catch ability provides reliable weekly scoring upside.
Draft market sentiment has cooled recently, with nagging training camp groin and quad issues pushing his ADP from pick 59 down to the 80s. That shifting momentum makes him a prime draft-day value in 1.0 PPR formats, giving fantasy managers dependable perimeter production at a reduced acquisition price.
