Outlook Jake Ferguson

High-Volume Role Makes Dallas Tight End a Clear Draft-Day Steal

Jake Ferguson enters the season firmly entrenched as the Cowboys' starting tight end after setting career marks with 87 catches and eight touchdowns in 2025. Operating alongside CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens in a Dak Prescott-led passing attack, Ferguson remains one of the primary chain-movers in Dallas.

Our projections anticipate another productive season, forecasting 77 receptions for 725 yards and six scores on 98 targets (169.0 fantasy points). While he may not possess elite field-stretching athleticism, his consistent red-zone usage and high target floor make him a reliable weekly asset in PPR leagues.

Draft market sentiment has cooled recently, with Ferguson's ADP sliding from pick 110 in late July down toward pick 156. With his 94% roster rate reflecting widespread league-wide value, we view this late ADP drop as a prime buying opportunity to secure a high-volume starter at a steep discount.

Outlook Carnell Tate

Top-Five Draft Capital Meets High-Volume Starting Opportunity in Tennessee

Selected fourth overall in the draft, Carnell Tate enters his rookie season locked in as an immediate perimeter starter alongside Calvin Ridley and Wan'Dale Robinson. While his preseason box scores were quiet, head coach Robert Saleh emphasized that game-planning will unlock his target volume alongside rookie quarterback Cam Ward.

Our projections anticipate a sizable debut campaign for the rookie, forecasting 75 receptions on 109 targets for 915 yards and six touchdowns. Tate boasts a 90% roster rate across fantasy leagues, establishing him as a dependable weekly WR3 with upside if he rapidly commands the top target share.

In fantasy drafts, Tate's ADP has slipped from the low 60s in July down near pick 89 following quiet exhibition outings. This market dip creates an appealing value opportunity in 1.0 PPR formats, allowing drafters to acquire Tennessee's potential lead pass-catcher at a discounted mid-round price.
