The Dallas Cowboys' offense is full of dynamic playmakers, but the most versatile is wide receiver KaVontae Turpin.

Turpin has hauled in 25 receptions for 310 yards and a touchdown this year, but the 29-year-old also makes an impact on special teams as a returner and also contributes a bit in the rushing attack. Turpin has tallied 1,484 kick return yards and 82 rushing yards in 2025.

Though Turpin is a do-it-all player, he's off to a slow start in Week 17 versus the Washington Commanders.
