Outlook Jake Ferguson

Jake Ferguson vs. Arizona — Touchdown-Dependent Streaming Option in High-Scoring Spot

Ferguson remains Dallas' top tight end on the depth chart, but his involvement in the passing game has settled into a secondary role behind perimeter targets CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. Over his last three outings, Ferguson has combined for just eight receptions and 43 receiving yards, causing fantasy managers to lose confidence as his start rate has dropped to 14%.

This week brings an enticing scoring environment at home against Arizona in a matchup featuring a 53.5-point total. Our projections anticipate Ferguson securing roughly 4 receptions for 27 yards, giving him modest PPR floor value. Because of his muted yardage output, he profiles primarily as a touchdown-dependent streaming play or low-end TE2 for managers navigating bye weeks.
