Outlook Jake Ferguson

Jake Ferguson at Philadelphia — Low-Yardage TE2 in Divisional Clash

Jake Ferguson remains Dallas' top tight end on the depth chart ahead of Brevyn Spann-Ford and Luke Schoonmaker, but his involvement has dipped lately. Over his last two contests, he has secured just five receptions for 32 scoreless yards, operating as a distant option behind wideouts CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.

Fantasy managers have taken note, as his start rate has tumbled down to 14%. In this rivalry matchup against Philadelphia, our projection anticipates a modest line of roughly three catches for 22 yards. Lacking consistent volume or big-play upside, Ferguson is a touchdown-dependent option best left on fantasy benches this week.
