Turpin as WR 2 or 3

[Pass2Run]

He did a lot with the reps he had last year. So give him more reps..... I feel like, right now, Jalen Tolbert might be better than the available options in FA. I also feel like Turpin can be a 2 or at least 3. He's really improved as a player. His next leap would have to be refining his route running. But I truly feel our starting lineup can be Lamb, Tolbert and Turpin. It has the potential to be a lethal combination if both Tolbert and Turpin can reach their highest potential. Like they may not be the tallest or biggest. But the potential for them to be one of the best trios in the league is there if the staff can maximize these players.

Neither.....he's an ALL-PRO special teamers who also get 5-10 snaps a game at WR.

Turpin is too short to be a major WR weapon. His lack of height and weight (5'9", 152 lbs) is what keeps him at only receiving 5-10 passing snaps on offense.

That's what they could say about Tank Dell too.

Tank is on the trading block as the rumors go.

Its just too small to be even a 3rd WR (in weight), and the faster they run the worse it could get going across the middle. Sure we could shift CD to the slot, but Turpin isn't known to beat people one on one on the outside. I do like Turp, but his role might be already defined at this point.

You could be right.

If someone at TE can step up in to that #2 target slot, like Ferguson did the year before - that would help take some of the load off Tolbert and Turpin. They could be alright then as options 3 & 4. The 3 of them and maybe a pass receiving running back would give Dak several options then.

I don’t think Turpin plays the whole season if he’s taking hits over the middle of the field IMO
