Jake Ferguson at Houston — Red-Zone Production Fuels Weekly Value

Operating as Dallas' primary tight end, Ferguson has carved out a pivotal role inside the twenty, hauling in three touchdowns over his last two games on nine targets. While off-field headlines centered around his celebration fine against Washington, he remains fully healthy and firmly atop the tight end depth chart.

Our weekly projection models forecast roughly 5 targets, nearly 4 catches, and 30 receiving yards against the Texans. While his modest yardage keeps him started in just over a third of fantasy leagues, this matchup's 48-point total offers plenty of scoring opportunity, keeping Ferguson in play as a solid streaming option.

Xavier Hutchinson vs. Cowboys — Deep-League Target Floor in High-Scoring Matchup

Hutchinson has carved out a steady role in Houston's passing attack, earning 21 targets across his first three games, including 15 over his last two outings. Operating alongside Nico Collins and Kayshon Boutte, he has displayed consistent involvement with exactly three receptions in every contest so far.

Facing Dallas at home in a matchup with strong scoring potential, our models project Hutchinson for around 2.7 receptions and 35 receiving yards on 6 targets (7.2 fantasy points). With just a 1% start rate across fantasy leagues, his reliable target floor makes him a deep-league play, though a lack of touchdowns caps his weekly ceiling.
