Secret Weapon: Why This Cowboy is Your 2025 Fantasy Football Goldmine
As the 2025 NFL season approaches, a Dallas Cowboys playmaker is emerging as a secret weapon capable of winning fantasy football championships.
With new head coach Brian Schottenheimer emphasizing a more dynamic offense, All-Pro return specialist KaVontae Turpin is being heavily integrated into the gameplan. Turpin has taken reps at both wide receiver and running back and is the leading candidate for the team’s WR3 role.
This increased offensive involvement makes him a prime sleeper pick for fantasy managers. The Touchdown Wire recently named Turpin the Cowboys’ top sleeper for the upcoming season.
The article points to Turpin’s elite speed and improved route-running, suggesting he will act as a “swiss-army knife” in the offense. With defenses focused on star receivers CeeDee Lamb and newcomer George Pickens, Turpin is expected to find favorable mismatches regularly. The projection is for Turpin to deliver a strong season, potentially reaching 800 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns**.
Last season, Turpin was primarily a special teams threat, returning kicks and punts for 1,091 yards and two touchdowns. He also showed flashes on offense, catching 31 passes for 420 yards and two touchdowns while adding 92 rushing yards.
This year, the Cowboys plan to unlock his electric playmaking ability far more, making KaVontae Turpin a name to target in the later rounds of fantasy drafts.
