Malik Turner proving to be yet another weapon for the Cowboys, and might have earned more playing time

Look out Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb, and Michael Gallup. Malik Turner is looking to earn himself some more playing time and it could come at the expense of the Dallas Cowboys talented trio.

Okay, that’s a bit of a stretch considering Malik Turner is buried on the Cowboys depth chart behind arguably the best receiving trio in the entire league, but that doesn’t mean No. 17 won’t see an increase in offensive snaps moving forward. His impressive play in Week 16 against the Washington Football Team may have earned him that right.

The stat line will show three catches for 82 yards and a touchdown in Week 16 for Malik Turner after playing just 13 offensive snaps, but it was his impressive 61-yard catch-and-run that turned a lot of heads, including Mike McCarthy’s.
