Outlook Jake Ferguson

Jake Ferguson vs. Cardinals — Low-Floor Streaming Option in Potential Shootout

Operating as the starting tight end on the depth chart, Ferguson enters Week 8 looking to rebound after managing just two catches for 13 yards over his last two outings. His fantasy trust has plummeted over the past month, with roster rates dropping to 42%. However, with KaVontae Turpin sidelined, backup Luke Schoonmaker questionable, and George Pickens also nursing an injury, Ferguson could absorb additional targets underneath.

This home matchup against Arizona carries a high projected total, creating upside if Dallas moves the ball efficiently. Our weekly projections peg Ferguson for roughly 3.3 catches, 23 receiving yards, and 8.0 fantasy points. While his recent floor is concerning, the favorable scoring environment keeps him in play as a touchdown-dependent streaming option for tight-end-needy managers.
