24-Year-Old Tight EndTE
Dallas Cowboys
2022 Fantasy Outlook
While he never posted huge numbers in his four seasons with Wisconsin, Ferguson showed enough as a receiver to be selected in the fourth round in the 2022 Draft by the Cowboys. He seems a strong fit for what the Dallas scheme asks of its tight ends, showing enough athleticism to get free past the line of scrimmage and make contested catches, and he could be the heir apparent to Dalton Schultz as soon as next season. Ferguson will spend his rookie year getting physically stronger and improving as a blocker while learning the nuances of being a pro. Read Past Outlooks

Flashes potential as rookie
TEDallas Cowboys
January 31, 2023
Ferguson caught 19 of 22 targets for 174 yards and a touchdown over 16 regular-season games in 2022.
ANALYSIS
A fourth-round pick out of Wisconsin in the 2022 NFL Draft, Ferguson most productive performance came Week 6 when he caught four of six targets for 40 yards and a TD. Stuck behind Dalton Schultz when the veteran tight end was healthy, Ferguson got only occasional chances to flash his upside and athleticism as a pass catcher, but he tended to make the most of them. Ferguson landed on highlight reels during a Thanksgiving Day win over the Giants with a 30-year catch-and-run that featured both a leaping grab and a hurdle over safety Jason Pinnock. Schultz is an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and if Dallas elects not to bring him back, Ferguson could head into 2023 as the team's No. 1 tight end.
