• Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Quiet in Week 1

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Ferguson caught both of his targets for six yards during Sunday night's 28-20 loss to the Giants. Ferguson along with quarterback Dak Prescott, amongst others, did not play during the preseason, and the team never really got into a groove on offense Week 1. The tight end remains the unquestioned No. 1 option at his position with Dallas, and he'll have a chance to be more involved Week 2 against Washington.

• Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: TEs to Sit

  6D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Ferguson had a solid season in 2025 with 82 catches for 600 yards and eight touchdowns on 102 targets, but the best stretch of his season came in four games when CeeDee Lamb was dealing with an ankle injury. From Weeks 3-6, Ferguson had 30 catches for 204 yards and four touchdowns, which equate to 37 percent of his receptions, 34 percent of his yards and 50 percent of his touchdowns. Ferguson struggled when Lamb and George Pickens were healthy, and both are fine for Week 1. We could see Ferguson score against the Giants, but they allowed just five touchdowns to tight ends in 2025. I'm not expecting Ferguson to have a big game in this matchup.

• Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Doesn't play in preseason

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  Ferguson did not play in any of the Cowboys' three preseason games. Ferguson, George Pickens, CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott were all sidelined for the entire preseason, ensuring that they will all be available for Week 1 against the Giants on Sunday, Sept. 13. Ferguson is coming offf a career year, finishing the 2025 regular season with 82 catches (on 102 targets) for 600 yards and eight touchdowns across 17 games. Even with Lamb and Pickens both commanding 100-plus targets last year, Ferguson's reliability in the passing game has made him a go-to option for Prescott in the passing game. Ferguson will operate as the Cowboys' top pass-catching tight end this season, with Brevyn Spann-Ford and Luke Schoonmaker providing depth at the position.

• Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Not in uniform Saturday

  08/15/2026 • By RotoWire

  Ferguson isn't suited up for Saturday's preseason contest against the Seahawks, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. Coach Brian Schottenheimer said in early August that the Cowboys' starters won't play during the preseason, so Ferguson's absence from the opener Saturday isn't a concern. The veteran pass catcher is slated to resume his role as Dallas' top tight end in 2026 after notching a career-high 82 receptions (on 102 targets) for 600 yards and a career-best eight touchdowns over 17 regular-season games last year. Dallas' tight-end corps will be rounded out by Brevyn Spann-Ford and Luke Schoonmaker, among others.

• Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Still Dallas' clear TE1

  07/08/2026 • By RotoWire

  Ferguson remains the Cowboys' unquestioned starting tight end ahead of training camp, Chris Amaya of ExpressNews.com reports. Ferguson signed a four-year, $50 million extension with Dallas last offseason, so the 27-year-old remains positioned as Dak Prescott's top target at the tight end position for the foreseeable future. He caught 82 passes for 600 yards and eight touchdowns while suiting up for all 17 regular-season games last year, giving him a steady fantasy floor through volume and red-zone usage. It's worth noting, though, that Ferguson's average depth of catch has dropped in three consecutive seasons, from 10.7 yards in 2023 to 8.4 in 2024, then just 7.3 yards per catch in 2025.
