The source rates Ferguson as undervalued at Round 9 (TE11 ADP). Ferguson responded to being labeled a comeback target last year with 82 catches, 600 yards, eight touchdowns, and a TE5 finish in 2025—all achieved with George Pickens breaking out to give Dallas one of the top wide receiver duos in the league. Had Ferguson not suffered a calf injury on Christmas Day (leaving him with two catches over the last two games), he realistically could have finished as TE3 overall. Despite finishing ahead of George Kittle, Sam LaPorta, Harold Fannin Jr., and Colston Loveland last year, Ferguson has ended up as TE11. The source loves Ferguson as a safe, solid TE1 later in drafts.

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.

PositiveBustJul 30, 2026Yahoo Fantasy Football
Ferguson is overrated at TE13 consensus/TE12 ADP; he was second in the league with 31 failed receptions last year, and his 82-600-8 stat line consisted of nothing but checkdowns and waggles. With George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb as Dallas' primary targets, Ferguson earned just 9% of air yards, less than 15% of target share, and 32.6 yards per game. His 2023 top-10 finish came in a fundamentally different offense with Brandin Cooks as WR2; he was salvaged only by high touchdown percentage, making him boom-or-bust. Ben Johnson. That would stream him, not draft him.

PositiveValueJul 30, 2026NFL.com News
The source highlights Ferguson as undervalued at TE11 (Round 9 ADP) after a TE5 finish in 2025 with 82 catches, 600 yards, and eight touchdowns despite George Pickens' breakout creating one of the league's top WR duos. Had Ferguson not suffered a calf injury on Christmas Day (two catches in final two games), he realistically could have finished TE3 overall. The source notes Ferguson lacks the name value of George Kittle or Sam LaPorta and the theoretical upside of Harold Fannin Jr. or Colston Loveland, yet finished ahead of all those players last year with nothing materially changed offseason, making him a safe, solid TE1 value later in drafts.

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.

PositiveRoleJul 29, 2026Fantasy Football Advice
Ferguson is a floor play with locked-in snap counts and likely red-zone aggression, but his role is strictly a dump-off specialist. Despite 82 receptions and eight touchdowns in 2024, he finished only 10th in PPG (5.9 yards per target, 7.3 yards per reception) because he operates as a short-yardage outlet when CeeDee Lamb and Jalen Pickens run downfield. He lacks the ability to create separation against coverage and would need multiple injuries to Lamb and Pickens to see meaningful target-share growth.
