Jake Ferguson shouldn't get drafted in standard-size leagues, as CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens limit his upside. However, Ferguson was significantly better when Lamb left the game early or was sidelined with an injury, averaging 8.3 targets, a touchdown and 18.6 fantasy points per game in those four contests during the fantasy season. By comparison, he averaged 5.6 targets, 0.3 touchdowns and 9.4 fantasy points in the 12 contests with Lamb playing healthy.

Ferguson's TE12 ADP inflated by Lamb absence; avoid in standard leagues.

Ferguson shouldn't be drafted in standard-size leagues due to limited upside from CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. He finished 2025 as TE10 on a PPG basis, averaging 11.1 PPR PPG, but was significantly better when Lamb was absent or injured: 8.3 targets, 1 TD, and 18.6 PPG in four contests versus 5.6 targets, 0.3 TDs, and 9.4 PPG in 12 contests with healthy Lamb.
