Outlook Jake Ferguson

Consistent Target Share and Prime Red-Zone Role Cement Dallas Tight End as a High-Value Option

Dallas tight end Jake Ferguson enters the season solidified as the primary option over the middle for quarterback Dak Prescott. Operating behind superstar wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, Ferguson is coming off a highly productive campaign where he hauled in 87 receptions for 660 yards and eight touchdowns, proving to be a go-to red-zone target.

Our projections expect another active year, forecasting 71 receptions on 92 targets for 589 yards and six touchdowns. This projected volume ensures he remains a trusted weekly starter in most fantasy formats, providing a secure floor in the Cowboys' pass-heavy offense.

Analyzing his draft market momentum, Ferguson's ADP has steadily climbed from late-round territory into the boundary of the top 100. This upward trajectory reflects growing appreciation for his stable role. Our models view his current draft price as a phenomenal value opportunity, offering a locked-in TE1 without the premium cost.

Outlook Trey McBride

Elite Tier Status Solidified as a Premium Early-Round Target

Following a massive breakout season where he hauled in 135 receptions, McBride has established himself as a premier option in the passing game. Operating as the clear TE1 on the depth chart, our models project him to remain a focal point alongside star receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., earning 132 targets.

Draft room expectations are soaring, reflected by a highly stable ADP sitting at 17.00 in PPR formats. Fantasy managers are aggressively targeting him in the middle of the second round, and our projection of 104 catches for 1,025 yards and eight touchdowns suggests he will easily return value on that investment.

Sharing the field with weapons like Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson should prevent defenses from selling out to stop McBride. With a 100% roster rate across leagues, he is a trusted anchor who provides elite weekly stability and massive touchdown upside in a highly productive offense.
