Outlook Jake Ferguson

Reliable Tight End Target Set to Return Major Value at Current Draft Cost

Jake Ferguson enters the season firmly entrenched as the starting tight end for the Dallas Cowboys, operating ahead of Luke Schoonmaker on the depth chart. Coming off a highly productive campaign where he hauled in 87 passes for 660 yards and eight touchdowns, Ferguson remains one of Dak Prescott's most trusted targets behind superstar wideout CeeDee Lamb.

His draft market trends show fascinating momentum. After spiking into the seventh round in early June, his ADP has stabilized at 111 over the past month. For managers in 1.0 PPR formats, this cooling price tag represents a massive market opportunity, turning the steady tight end into an absolute draft-day steal at a double-digit round discount.

Our projections expect another robust year, slating him for 71 receptions, 591 yards, and six touchdowns, totaling 164.3 fantasy points. Ferguson possesses an incredibly safe weekly floor with the touchdown-scoring ceiling to easily exceed his current market valuation in this high-powered offense.

Outlook Brenton Strange

Rising TE Star Primed for Breakout Following Lucrative Contract Extension

Brenton Strange has solidified his role as Jacksonville's top tight end. After securing a three-year contract extension, head coach Liam Coen praised Strange as a focal point for the offense. Strange has seen his production rise annually, culminating in 51 catches for 633 yards last season. As the primary TE, he is primed to be a trusted target for Trevor Lawrence.

His draft momentum is ascending, with his ADP climbing from 148 in early June to 139. In 1.0 PPR leagues, this shifting market price makes him an absolute steal. Our projections peg him for 59 receptions, 645 yards, and five touchdowns, which easily beats his late-round draft cost.

Despite competition from wideout Brian Thomas Jr., Strange's roster rate has climbed to 65%. His high snap share secures him a stable floor, making him a premier late-round target.
