He had three touchdowns in Weeks 2 and 3 combined and has ridden that small spike of fantasy value the rest of the season. But the Cowboys tight end has fewer than four catches and fewer than 25 receiving yards in six of seven games this season, and has scored fewer than four fantasy points in four straight games.

Ferguson's touchdown spike faded; he's a bust with 9.4% target share and four straight sub-4 point games.

Ferguson has ridden a small spike of fantasy value from three touchdowns in Weeks 2–3 but has since disappointed; he has fewer than four catches and fewer than 25 receiving yards in six of seven games this season, scored fewer than four fantasy points in four straight games including a goose egg against the Eagles, carries a 9.4% target share, and has just one red-zone target since Week 4 (a throwaway on a scramble). Even in a decent matchup with the Cardinals, he is a low-upside dart throw at a touchdown on a team that prefers Javonte Williams in scoring range and either CeeDee Lamb or George Pickens when they do throw. The source rates Ferguson outside the top 25 at tight end and recommends scavenging the waiver wire for a streaming option instead.
