Jake Ferguson led the Cowboys with a 23.1% red-zone target share in 2025, indicating he is the team's primary red-zone target ahead of CeeDee Lamb (18.6%) and George Pickens (22.1%).NegativeBustJul 30, 2026
Ferguson had 82 catches for 600 yards and eight touchdowns in 2025 (career highs in receptions and TDs) but averaged just 7.3 yards per catch, a career low. He finished TE8 in half-point PPR scoring but TE13 in fantasy points per game among TEs with five-plus games played. The presence of star receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, who combined for 250 targets and 168 receptions, limits Ferguson's upside in Dallas's explosive passing attack. Ferguson should be considered a high-end TE2 in 2026 drafts.NegativeRoleJul 29, 2026
Jake Ferguson led the Cowboys in red-zone target share in 2025 with 23.1%, ahead of both CeeDee Lamb (18.6%) and George Pickens (22.1%), indicating a significant shift in the team's target distribution hierarchy.NegativeBustJul 29, 2026
Frank Ammirante avoids Jake Ferguson, citing limited upside despite an eight-touchdown season; Ferguson's career-high is 71 catches for 761 yards and five touchdowns, and he must compete for targets with CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Ryan Flournoy. Ammirante notes that waiting this long for Ferguson forces a two-tight-end roster strategy with matchup-based play, which is difficult in managed leagues. Ammirante would prefer a boom-or-bust play like Oronde Gadsden II at that price point.NegativeValueJul 27, 2026

Ferguson finished as TE10 on a points-per-game basis, averaging 11.1 PPR fantasy points per game, but his upside is capped by CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. He was significantly better when Lamb left early or was sidelined (8.3 targets, 1 TD, 18.6 PPG in four contests) versus when Lamb played healthy (5.6 targets, 0.3 TDs, 9.4 PPG in 12 contests). At ADP 117.43 as TE9, the source indicates his fantasy upside is limited by teammate usage.PositiveProjectionJun 20, 2026
