2024 Fantasy Outlook
Turner began his rookie season playing mostly on third downs, but by Week 12 he had emerged as one of the Bengals' starting corners, splitting time with Chidobe Awuzie. It was a bit of a baptism by fire for Turner, as he allowed four touchdown receptions over the last quarter of the campaign. As the starting corner opposite Cam Taylor-Britt, Turner will likely see plenty of action this season. Read Past Outlooks
Likely starting moving forward
Turner is the top candidate to fill in for the injured Dax Hill (knee) on the Bengals' defense, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2023 second-round pick filled in for Hill when he exited Cincinnati's 41-38 overtime loss to the Ravens in Week 5, and Turner is expected to remain on the Bengals' first-team defense with his teammate out for the remainder of the season. Turner has accumulated 63 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and defended nine passes across his first 23 NFL regular-season games. He'll aim to bolster a Cincinnati defense that currently ranks in the bottom 10 in the NFL in points allowed per game (29.0), yards per pass attempt (6.9) and yards per play (5.6).

WR DeAndre Hopkins didn't need long to get comfortable in his new home, taking on a larger role and scoring two touchdowns in his second game for the Chiefs.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba was the star of Week 9, leading the league in fantasy points and air yards despite taking nearly all of his snaps in the slot. RW's Jerry Donabedian has the full breakdown from Sunday.
Justin Jefferson will almost certainly have a big game Sunday, and the Colts pass defense is weak enough for Jordan Addison to get rolling in the same game.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
In camp competition against Hill
Turner could lose his starting job to Dax Hill in 2024, according to Ben Baby of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Hill appears to have a slight lead in their position battle at outside cornerback after minicamp. Turner started 12 games as a rookie last season, but Hill has adapted well to his new position after struggling as a starting safety in 2023. Cam Taylor-Britt appears locked in as a starter on the other side.
