DAL TE Jake Ferguson - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Detroit Lions

Jake Ferguson saw eight targets for the fourth game in a row against the Dolphins last week. But his four receptions were his lowest in that span, and combined with his 45 yards he was only able to put up 6.5 Half-PPR points, good for TE24. Ferguson has been kept out of the end zone in each of his last three games and five of his last six.

Ferguson remains a safe TE1 option, though far from a spectacular one, thanks to his consistent usage. He is not likely to explode against the Lions this week, as tight ends have not enjoyed that much success against them all season. The Lions rank 10th in aFPA to tight ends in 2023.

DAL TE Jake Ferguson - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Miami Dolphins

It wasn't pretty for the Cowboys offense in Week 15, with the malaise affecting everyone including Jake Ferguson. Ferguson turned eight targets in six grabs for 44, which wasn't a terrible outcome but only resulted in him scoring 7.4 Half-PPR points on his way to the TE15.

It's not a great matchup in Week 16 and it's not a terrible one either, with the Dolphins ranking 17th in aFPA to tight ends this season. They've allowed a tight end to catch at least four passes in four of their last five games. Ferguson is the TE9 in Half PPR scoring this season, and that is bang in line with his projection for this week.

DAL TE Jake Ferguson - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Buffalo Bills

Jake Ferguson continued his steady breakout season form against the Eagles last week, catching five of his eight targets for 72 yards on his way to 9.7 Half-PPR points. Ferguson was the TE10 in Week 14 and is the TE9 in points per game.

Ferguson should be able to repeat his current form in what could be a shootout against the Bills this week, as they rank 22nd in aFPA to tight ends. Ferguson has earned the secondary role on the Cowboys target totem pole, and has a safe floor as a mid-tier TE1.

DAL TE Jake Ferguson - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Jake Ferguson enjoyed an eight-target game against the Seahawks last week and rewarded his fantasy managers with six grabs for 77 yards and a touchdown. He posted 16.7 Half-PPR points and finished as the TE4, almost doubling his season average of 8.6 points per game.

After a rough start to the season, the Eagles' defense has stiffened somewhat towards tight ends. The Birds rank 12th in aFPA to tight ends, but Ferguson's safe floor and the potential shootout between these two teams make it safe to project him as a mid-tier TE1 in Week 14.

DAL TE Jake Ferguson - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Seattle Seahawks

It was another quiet week for Jake Ferguson despite the Cowboys' evisceration of the Commanders on Thanksgiving. Ferguson earned just three targets, catching one for 35 yards. This grab saw Ferguson amass just 4.0 Half-PPR points, a tally exceeded by 21 other tight ends last week.

The Seahawks have not exactly been kind to tight ends this season. They rank eighth in aFPA to the position in 2023. Still, with a notable number of byes in Week 13, Ferguson should be considered a top 12 option this week.

DAL TE Jake Ferguson - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs Washington Commanders

It was a frustrating week for Jake Ferguson and his fantasy managers in Week 11. He saw just five targets. three of which he caught for 32 yards, but it was fellow tight end Luke Schoonmaker who caught one of Dak Prescott's two touchdown passes on the day. Ferguson finished as the TE21, a long way behind his season average of TE9.

The Commanders offer a tempting opponent to everyone in the Cowboys passing attack, although they are slightly stiffer opposition to tight ends than wide receivers. They rank 18th in aFPA to tight ends, whereas they are dead last to wide receivers. Ferguson should be able to put up top 12 numbers, but the ceiling is not particularly attractive this week.

DAL TE Jake Ferguson - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Carolina Panthers

Jake Ferguson has enjoyed the Cowboys embracing the forward pass of late and continued to reward his fantasy managers in Week 10. Ferguson amassed 10.6 Half-PPR points on his way to a TE5 finish last week and is the TE8 in average points per game this season.

Ferguson should remain a top-12 option at the TE position against the Panthers, if only due to his volume opportunities. The Panthers actually rank third in aFPA to tight ends this season, but no player has seen more targets inside the opposition's 10-yard lines in 2023 than Ferguson. He's always a threat to find the end zone, and that's what we want from our fantasy tight ends.
