2024 Season Outlooks

One of the most consistent aspects of the Dak Prescott era is that his tight end is going to be a low-end starter in Fantasy. Ferguson kept that tradition alive in 2023 and he'll open the season in the same role. That means you should start looking for Ferguson in Round 10, as a borderline top-12 tight end. The case for upside beyond that is in how he finished the season. In his final 11 games he was on pace for 77 catches, 882 yards and six touchdowns. In his lone playoff game he caught 10 of 12 targets for 93 yards and three touchdowns. If no one steps up in the WR2 role, Ferguson could be the value of the tight end position. Tradition says it's more likely he'll finish between TE8 and TE12.

Ferguson broke out in his second NFL season, ranking ninth among tight ends in receptions and eighth in receiving yards. Only six tight ends caught more than his five touchdowns, and Ferguson closed well with a three-TD outing in the team's wild card playoff loss to the Packers. He benefited from the offseason departure of Dalton Schultz to Houston, then he outproduced Schultz. Cowboys QB Dak Prescott throws a ton of passes, and he looks Ferguson's way quite a bit at the goal line. This is a top-10 fantasy tight end, with upside for the top five.
