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 Colby Parkinson

Touchdown Regression Threatens Late-Round Value in a Crowded Rams Tight End Room

Colby Parkinson technically enters the season atop the Rams' tight end depth chart, but he operates within a highly crowded room. Alongside experienced veterans Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen, the Rams' coaching staff continues to rotate young talents Terrance Ferguson and Max Klare, likely capping Parkinson's snap share.

Following a career-best 2025 season where he secured 49 receptions and a massive 10 touchdowns, heavy statistical regression is expected. Our projections reflect this decline, forecasting a modest stat line of 36 catches for 351 yards and four scores.

Fantasy managers have taken notice of his red-zone upside, pushing his 1.0 PPR draft cost up from an ADP of 220 in early May to 187 in June. While we view him as a decent late-round value, his lack of target volume makes him a touchdown-dependent depth piece.
