Cowboys News: Fehoko rising, where to draft WRs in fantasy
The wide receiver position is the constant conversation for Cowboys camp in 2022. In the middle of it is new receiver KaVontae Turpin, whose prowess as a receiver may be overshadowed by his expertise as a returner. Special teams coordinator John Fassel sees a big role for Turpin in 2022.
Meanwhile young receiver Simi Fehoko has been a pleasant surprise at camp, with highlights and reliable tendencies during the early goings. Even still, with young players showing out, the position is a question mark with James Washington and Michael Gallup out for the start of the season.
Considering the Cowboys went out and signed linebacker Anthony Barr to boost that group with veteran talent, could the same come for receiver or will Dallas stick to their homegrown players to cover for those missing early in the season?
