2024 Fantasy Outlook
Ferguson’s box score stats from 2023 don’t jump off the page, even though he led all tight ends in targets inside the 20-yard line (25), inside the 10 (12) and inside the five (nine). Taking over as Dallas’ starter after Dalton Schultz left in free agency, Ferguson played all 17 games and finished ninth among TEs in catches (71), eighth in receiving yards (761), seventh in touchdowns (five) and seventh in targets (102). It was an impressive breakout, with a 93-yard, three-touchdown playoff game being the icing on the cake, though his total of five TDs in the regular season was disappointing relative to his wealth of volume near the end zone. The 25-year-old's best football could still be ahead of him, and while CeeDee Lamb is the Cowboys' obvious No. 1 option, Ferguson got 21 more targets than No. 2 receiver Brandin Cooks last year. The tight end should have a similar role this upcoming season, and perhaps with better red-zone luck than he had last year. Read Past Outlooks
Limited to 11 yards
Ferguson recorded three receptions on four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 47-9 loss to the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Even with the Cowboys forced to take to the air in negative game script, Ferguson was surprisingly uninvolved in the offense. He finished sixth in targets and fifth in receptions on the team, and his longest gain went for just six yards. While it was a down performance, Ferguson should come out of Dallas' bye week as a continued priority in the offense.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Ferguson is the lead candidate to start at tight end for Dallas after the offseason departure of Dalton Schultz, though the 2022 fourth-round pick will be competing with 2022 UDFA Peyton Hendershot and 2023 second-rounder Luke Schoonmaker. Even in the best-case scenario of Ferguson winning the starting job and avoiding a platoon, he won't necessarily be a prolific pass catcher. His career high in receiving yards at Wisconsin was 456 in his freshman year, and he ran only 105 routes for Dallas as a rookie. He did well with his chances, at least, avoiding any drops and finishing with a 19-174-1 receiving line on 22 targets. Ferguson's reliable hands and competent blocking should help him earn playing time, but he's never likely to be much of a big-play threat with 4.81 speed and there's no guarantee of the Dallas tight ends accounting for so many short targets now that Schultz is gone and the team has a new offensive coordinator (Brian Schottenheimer) and WR2 (Brandin Cooks).

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could play through injury Sunday
Ferguson, who suffered a bone bruise and MCL sprain in a Week 1 win over the Browns, may have a chance to play Sunday against the Saints, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ferguson was originally feared to have suffered an ACL tear, so the subsequent diagnosis was actually a welcome one. The third-year tight end noted Wednesday he feels his pain is essentially gone, and head coach Mike McCarthy did not hesitate to say that he had optimism that Ferguson could suit up versus the Saints.
