Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion) will not play on Thursday due to a concussion according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Ferguson will now miss his second-straight contest after sustaining the injury during their Week 11 loss to the Houston Texans. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progress ahead of their Week 14 match against the Cincinnati Bengals. As a result, Luke Schoonmaker will get the starting nod once again. Last weekend, Schoonmaker was productive as he brought in three of his four targets for 55 yards and a score against the Washington Commanders. Schnoonmaker has a tough matchup against the Giants who have allowed the second-fewest PPR points to opposing tight ends this season.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion) was a DNP at practice on Tuesday. With only one more day to ramp up participation ahead of the Cowboys' Thanksgiving tilt against the New York Giants, things do not look good for Ferguson's chances to play. Ferguson has been solid when healthy in 2024. However, injuries have limited him to nine games played and 369 receiving yards. Ferguson has also not found the end zone in 2024. Ferguson's backup, Luke Schoonmaker, has been excellent over the past couple of weeks with Ferguson out. Schoonmaker has recorded nine catches for 111 yards and a touchdown in the past two games combined. The Giants are excellent against tight ends in fantasy. Even so, quarterback Cooper Rush has displayed a propensity to throw to his tight ends. It looks like Schoonmaker will receive another chance to run the show in Week 13 and is a solid play for Ferguson managers who added him off waivers.

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan on Monday that it's "a little more of a long shot" for tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion) to play in Week 13 on Thursday on Thanksgiving against the division-rival New York Giants. Ferguson suffered a concussion in the Week 11 loss to the Houston Texans last Monday night and was unable to play in the upset win over the division-rival Washington Commanders in Week 12. With a short turnaround this week, Ferguson is unlikely to be able to clear the league's concussion protocol, meaning he'll probably be inactive for a second straight game. Backup Luke Schoonmaker played 65% of the offensive snaps on Sunday without Ferguson and caught three passes for 55 yards and a touchdown. Schoonmaker is setting up to be a TE2 streamer for the second straight week on Turkey Day against the G-Men.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion) will not suit up this weekend to face the Washington Commanders, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The 25-year-old suffered this concussion last Monday during their loss to the Houston Texans. Fantasy managers should monitor his progress over the week as the Cowboys have a short turnaround for Week 13 as they will face the New York Giants on Thanksgiving. In his absence last week, Luke Schoonmaker brought in six of his ten targets for 56 yards. Given his impressive target share in a relief role, fantasy managers in 14+ team formats could consider Schoonmaker a viable replacement in their divisional title on Sunday afternoon.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion) did not take part in Thursday's practice. It's the second straight practice he has missed this week after suffering a concussion early in the Monday night loss to the Houston Texans in Week 11. The Cowboys said early this week that it's unlikely Ferguson will have enough time to clear the league's concussion protocol in time to play on Sunday against the division-rival Washington Commanders. The 25-year-old will most likely sit out Friday's session as well and be ruled out for this weekend. For those in dire need at the TE position in Week 12 with six teams on bye, Dallas' Luke Schoonmaker could be in play as a sleeper against Washington, a defense that allowed 12.7 half-PPR points per game to TEs the last three weeks. Schoonmaker had six catches for a season-high 56 yards on 10 targets against Houston on Monday after Ferguson was hurt.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion) was unable to practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday. Ferguson suffered a concussion early in the Monday night loss to the Houston Texans and was ruled out quickly. Head coach Mike McCarthy said on Tuesday that Ferguson is fighting an uphill battle to clear the league's concussion protocol on a short week to play on Sunday against the division-rival Washington Commanders. Fantasy managers should be putting the 25-year-old on their benches this week while hoping he'll be able to return to play in the annual Thanksgiving game against the division-rival New York Giants. Backup Luke Schoonmaker stepped in for six catches on 10 targets for 56 yards against Houston, and he could be worth a look as a TE2 streamer in fantasy if you're desperate at the position in Week 12.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion) "will be hard-pressed" to play on Sunday against the division-rival Washington Commanders in Week 12 after suffering a concussion early in Monday night's blowout loss to the Houston Texans. Ferguson was quickly ruled out in Week 11 and will struggle to gain clearance from the league's concussion protocol on a short week. The 25-year-old deserves to be kept on fantasy rosters through his injury, but those in need of a TE with six teams on bye this week may want to look at Ferguson's replacement, Luke Schoonmaker. The 26-year-old ended up playing 43 offensive snaps on Monday after Ferguson was hurt and hauled in six of 10 targets for 56 yards. Schoonmaker will be a TE2 sleeper/streamer if Ferguson is ruled out for Week 12, as expected.
Nov 19, 2024 5:26 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against the Houston Texans. Yikes, the injuries continue to pile up on the Cowboys as Ferguson was forced to exit early in the first quarter with a head injury. He has now been ruled out for the rest of the contest and placed into the league's concussion protocol. Ferguson caught his lone target for 11 yards before exiting the contest. Luke Schoonmaker will take over as the primary tight end for the rest of this game. He has eight receptions for 56 yards coming into Monday's contest. He might have some streaming appeal next week if Ferguson is unable to play next Sunday.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (illness) was uncertain coming into this game, but appears ready to go after getting in a full practice session on Friday. Fantasy managers might be hesitant to start Ferguson during this Week 11 matchup against the Houston Texans. The entire Cowboys offense has taken a hit with quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) being done for the season. Last week, Ferguson hauled in four of his five targets for 24 yards in the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Cooper Rush hasn't looked good under center, so Ferguson shouldn't be considered anything more than a TE2.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (illness) returned to a full practice on Friday after being held out of the first practice of the week on Thursday. The Cowboys play the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football in Week 11, and Ferguson should be ready to roll by then. There's a good chance he'll be removed from the final injury report entirely on Saturday if he can put in another full practice. The real concern for Ferguson's fantasy managers shouldn't be his illness, but rather the fact that quarterback Cooper Rush is now leading Dallas' offense with Dak Prescott (hamstring) out for the season. In Rush's first game under center in last week's blowout loss to the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles, Ferguson caught four of five targets for only 24 yards. Ferguson is now more of a low-upside, touchdown-dependent TE2 rather than a weekly TE1 option.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (illness) was under the weather and unable to practice on Thursday, the team's first session of the week. Ferguson has an extra day to recover in Week 11 with the team's contest falling on Monday night versus the Houston Texans. He still has two more days to return to practice, and we think there's a good chance he'll play against the in-state rivals. If for some reason the 25-year-old is questionable to play on Monday night, fantasy managers may be in a quandary at the position. On top of it, the 25-year-old's fantasy stock will be down the rest of the year with quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) done for the season. In his first game taking passes from Cooper Rush, Ferguson caught four of five targets for 24 yards. Luke Schoonmaker is the backup in Dallas if Ferguson is too ill to play by Monday.
Nov 14, 2024 6:39 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson paced the team in receiving in the 34-6 blowout loss against Philadelphia on Sunday. Ferguson caught four passes for a team-high 24 yards in what was an abysmal showing from the Dallas offense. His fantasy ceiling has taken a hit with quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) likely done for the season. The 25-year-old is no longer a must-start entering Monday's matchup with Houston.
Nov 11, 2024 12:52 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson is no longer a surefire top-10 ranked tight end on a weekly basis with quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) set to miss at least four games. Ferguson has yet to score a touchdown in 2024 and while he should serve as backup quarterback Cooper Rush's security blanket, his upside takes a hit. Philadelphia has the fourth-best defense against opposing tight ends this season, further muddying the situation for Ferguson. He grades as a low-end TE1 this week and can still be started in most situations, but his ceiling is capped.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson led the way through the air on Sunday in the 27-21 loss to Atlanta. Ferguson was targeted 10 times, securing seven receptions for 71 yards. The performance was Ferguson's second-highest receiving yardage total of the season. The third-year tight end still has not found the end zone in the 2024 campaign, but remains a key part of Dallas' passing offense and is still a top option at the bleak tight end position.
Nov 4, 2024 9:15 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson hasn't been able to produce a big outing over the last couple of weeks. Week 8 was the first time he received a target share of more than 20% and failed to finish in TE1 territory. He even had the highest snap percentage of the season in that game, but went up against a solid defensive unit in the San Francisco 49ers. Now, they'll take on the Atlanta Falcons who have given up their fair share of fantasy points to tight ends (10.8 per game for half-PPR). Fantasy managers can look to Ferguson to bounce back in this one.
Nov 1, 2024 9:58 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson worked in the short field on Sunday night in the loss to San Francisco. The 25-year-old averaged just 3.8 yards per reception despite being targeted eight times. He caught six passes for 23 yards, failing to make much of an impact in the box score. The receptions were encouraging for PPR formats and the 21% target share remains encouraging, but Ferguson has still failed to find the end zone in 2024 after leading all tight ends in red zone targets in 2023. He will remain a TE1 option heading into next week's matchup with Atlanta.
Oct 28, 2024 1:46 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson is coming off of his worst performance of the season after recording just three receptions for 11 yards in the Week 6 blowout loss to Detroit. Ferguson has yet to score a touchdown in 2024, but has generally seen strong volume and yardage totals which make him a top option at tight end. San Francisco's pass defense is in the upper half of the league, but with the Cowboys leaning heavily on the passing game this season Ferguson remains a TE1 option and should be started in all formats.
Oct 25, 2024 10:49 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson struggled along with the rest of the team in the 47-9 loss to Detroit. Ferguson was targeted four times, catching three passes for just 11 yards. The 25-year-old tight end put up his first dud of the season since Week 1, when he left early with an injury. Given that the entire Dallas offense struggled, Ferguson's output can be taken with a grain of salt. He remains one of the top tight end options for fantasy and will remain a top-five option after Dallas' Week 7 bye week.
Oct 14, 2024 11:05 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson is a no-brainer start heading into Sunday's matchup with the Detroit Lions. The home game has the highest implied point total of any game this week (52), and Dallas will lean into the passing game per usual with Detroit's third-ranked run defense on the other side of the ball. Ferguson has averaged over eight targets per game since returning from injury in Week 3 and will continue to see a healthy workload on Sunday. Start the 25-year-old in all formats, as he has TE1 overall upside this week.
Oct 11, 2024 11:01 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson strung together another solid fantasy day on Sunday night in the win over Pittsburgh. The third-year tight end corralled six of seven targets for 70 yards serving as quarterback Dak Prescott's security blanket. Both Brevyn Spann-Ford (three targets) and Luke Schoonmaker (two targets) mixed into the offense, but Ferguson's usage remained strong. The 25-year-old has not scored a touchdown yet this season but remains a no-brainer start at a shallow tight end position. He should be played in all lineups as a TE1 heading into next week's matchup with the Detroit Lions.
