3 years agoFree-agent wide receivers
Marcus Johnson and
Malik Turner are visiting the San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday, according to Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network. Through seven games in 2021, Johnson hauled in nine of 19 targets for 160 yards. Meanwhile, Turner enjoyed some late-game action, too, catching 12 passes for 149 yards and three scores. It remains to be seen if either player signs with San Francisco, but even if they do, it would only be for a depth role.
Deebo Samuel,
Brandon Aiyuk,
George Kittle and
Jauan Jennings have asserted themselves as key pieces of the offense, which is already run-oriented.

Malik Turner visited the Arizona Cardinals on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Field Yates. Turner, 26, spent the last two years of his career in Dallas following a two-year stint with the Seahawks. This past season, he caught just 12 passes for 149 yards and three touchdowns, mainly occupying a depth role that included some garbage-time action. However, he would presumably see an increase in targets if he signed with Arizona. The Cardinals top two receivers are
DeAndre Hopkins and
Rondale Moore, but Turner could certainly compete with
Antoine Wesley for the No. 3 role on the depth chart.

3 years agoDallas Cowboys wide receiver
Malik Turner caught three passes and scored a touchdown in an easy Week 16 win over the Washington Football Team. Turner, who got a chance to see more of the field with the Cowboys mostly resting their starters in the second half, was targeted three times and caught all three passes for a total of 82 yards. His touchdown came on a nine-yard pass from backup quarterback
Cooper Rush near the end of the third quarter. Turner has shown some explosiveness when given the chance to play, but he remains fifth at best on the Cowboys wide receiver depth chart.

3 years agoDallas Cowboys wide receiver
Malik Turner caught his lone target in a Week 13 win over the New Orleans Saints on Thursday Night Football. Turner's catch went for a 10 yard gain and gives him eight catches for 61 yards on the season. Turner is mostly a special teamer but with
Amari Cooper (COVID-19) only playing on 35% of the Cowboys snaps and
Cedrick Wilson (ankle) out, Turner saw a little more run on offense. He's not a fantasy option even in the deepest formats.
