Outlook Jake Ferguson

Jake Ferguson vs. WAS — Primed for a bounce back in a high-scoring division clash

Ferguson opened the campaign with a quiet two-catch, six-yard outing against the Giants, but he remains completely healthy and operates as Dallas' clear lead tight end. While his start rate sits around 37%, he dominates snaps at his position ahead of Brevyn Spann-Ford and Luke Schoonmaker in a Dak Prescott-led passing attack featuring CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.

Fantasy managers who saw their patience tested in Week 1 should stay the course. Our weekly projection expects Ferguson to rebound with around four receptions for 37 yards and steady red-zone involvement against Washington. Playing at home in an environment with high-scoring shootout potential, Ferguson remains a solid starting option with low-end TE1 upside.
