KaVontae Turpin Receiving Yards
The Cowboys’ offense has more than held its own through the first two weeks this season. They managed 20 points and 307 yards vs. a tough Eagles’ defense in Week 1, despite no team losing more yardage to drops.
They followed that up with 40 points and nearly 500 yards vs. the Giants in Week 2. Overall, they rank in the top five in both yards and points per game, and they’re seventh in the league in EPA per play.
That said, Turpin has not been a huge part of the equation. Specifically, his route participation dipped to just 17% vs. the Giants.
Turpin still managed to finish with four catches, 44 yards, and a touchdown, but those stand out as clear outliers.
He was targeted on 33% of his routes run, which is simply an unsustainable figure. He was targeted on 12% of his routes run in Week 1, when he finished with just two catches for 12 yards.
Ultimately, this feels like an ideal sell-high spot for a fringe player. The Cowboys do like to get the ball in his hands on occasion, but he’s not going to be nearly as featured as he was last week on a regular basis.
There are a lot of mouths to feed in the Cowboys’ passing attack, especially with CeeDee Lamb commanding a target share near 30%. Add in George Pickens and Jake Ferguson, and it doesn’t leave a ton for Turpin.

Rome Odunze Longest Reception
While the Cowboys’ offense has been impressive, their defense has been the exact opposite.
They let the Giants go crazy against them last week, despite having a washed-up Russell Wilson at quarterback. Let’s take a look at some Rome Odunze props.


Wilson threw for 450 yards – the second-highest output of his entire career – and he linked up with multiple receivers for big plays. Malik Nabers absolutely torched their secondary, while Wan’Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton each had catches of 30+ yards.
That sets up well for Odunze. He was the Bears’ big-play threat at receiver last year, and he’s been their top receiver overall to start his second season.
He’s amassed a 29% target share, and he has 44% of the team’s air yards. D.J. Moore ranks second from an air yards standpoint, and he’s all the way down at 22%.
Odunze failed to eclipse this figure in Week 1, but that was against a tough Vikings’ secondary. He had two catches of greater than 24.5 yards in Week 2, and his average depth of target (aDOT) in that contest was more than 18 yards downfield.
This is a perfect match in terms of player type and matchup, so I think Odunze should breeze past this figure in Week 3. I don’t mind pairing it with Odunze to score a touchdown, which he’s already done three times this season.
Hopefully, this Bears vs Cowboys predictions analysis was helpful. Good luck this week!
