Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (calf) has been removed from the Week 18 injury report and will play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the division-rival New York Giants. Ferguson didn't practice on Wednesday, was limited on Thursday, and upgraded to a full practice on Friday. The 26-year-old will be active this weekend, but after not finishing last week's Christmas Day win over the Washington Commanders, the Cowboys probably are in no hurry to play Ferguson the same as they normally would in a meaningless game. Fantasy managers should consider him to be a very volatile streaming option at the position, especially since quarterback Dak Prescott might not play a full game. Ferguson was a big part of Dallas' high-scoring offense in 2025, setting career-highs in catches (81) and touchdown receptions (eight) while racking up 595 receiving yards in 16 games.

ESPN's Todd Archer reports that Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (calf) has been ruled out for the remainder of the game after sustaining a calf injury. He caught 1-of-2 targets for six yards and a touchdown before exiting the contest. Ferguson saw his last opportunity of the outing early in the second quarter, but did not rejoin his team coming out of halftime. With the 26-year-old deemed out, fellow tight end Luke Schoonmaker will operate as the Cowboys' No. 1 option at the position. Brevyn Spann-Ford will mix in behind him. Fantasy managers can also expect a modest uptick in work for wide receivers George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb while Ferguson is sidelined.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson hasn't scored in five straight weeks and is coming off two of his four lowest yardage totals in the past two weeks. Ferguson was remarkably consistent for most of the season leading up to Week 15, catching at least four passes in 11 of the first 13 games and at least five in 10 of those contests. The 26-year-old tight end hasn't been as productive with CeeDee Lamb back in the lineup and has become dependent on finding the end zone, which he has only done once since scoring twice against the Washington Commanders in Week 7. He'll look to bounce back this week as he faces Washington again on Christmas Day. The Commanders' defense has been bad in all facets, including against tight ends, allowing the third-most PPR points per game. Ferguson can be trusted as a mid-range TE1, ranking as RotoBaller's TE8 in PPR leagues in Week 17.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has cooled off in the second half of the season after ranking as the TE1 in Weeks 1 through 9. Ferguson caught just two of four targets for 16 yards in last week's loss to the Minnesota Vikings and hasn't scored in four consecutive games, his longest drought of the season. The 26-year-old draws another tough matchup on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers, who have held opponents under 20 points in three straight games. The Chargers are giving up the fifth-fewest receptions and seventh-fewest PPR points per game to tight ends. Ferguson has fallen to TE14 in RotoBaller's rankings for the second round of the fantasy playoffs.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (calf) is officially available for Sunday night's match against the Minnesota Vikings. The top tight end carried a questionable tag on Friday's final injury report. On Thursday, he was unable to practice but returned on Friday in a limited capacity. However, he was able to progress enough to suit up. After a hot start to the season, when he averaged an impressive 17.2 PPR points per game over the first seven weeks, Ferguson has seen his production take a massive step back, averaging just 8.7 PPR points from Weeks 8 through 14. This evening, he will face a Minnesota secondary that has allowed the 16th-most PPR points to opposing TEs this season. He projects to be a low-end TE1 in standard formats and is a viable play in DFS showdown slates.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (calf) is questionable for Sunday's Week 15 contest against the Minnesota Vikings. According to Ian Rapoport, Ferguson is expected to suit up despite the calf issue. Ferguson has been limited in practice while dealing with his nagging calf problem. It doesn't seem serious enough to keep him out of this game, but the Cowboys might wait to see how Ferguson feels closer to gametime. If healthy, Ferguson should be considered a locked-in TE1 for this game. Otherwise, Luke Schoonmaker would see an expanded role, but he wouldn't be a recommended streaming option even in a starting role.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (calf) carries a questionable tag into Sunday night's contest against the Minnesota Vikings and would be viewed as a low-end TE1 if cleared for action. Ferguson opened the week as a limited participant but was downgraded to a non-participant on Thursday, putting his availability in jeopardy. However, on Friday, the veteran tight end was able to practice in a limited capacity, which keeps him in play to suit up. Additionally, Todd Archer of ESPN reported that HC Brian Schottenheimer said he is "relieved" that Ferguson was able to "answer the bell" on Friday, suggesting he should be in a good position to play. From Weeks 1 through 7, Ferguson was on pace to compete for the overall TE1, as he averaged an elite 17.2 PPR points per game and found the back of the end zone six times. However, since Week 8, Ferguson's production has dropped considerably, averaging only 8.7 PPR points per game. During this stretch, he has scored just one touchdown. Even though Ferguson's production has continued to decline, managers should still view him as a reliable low-end TE1 given his elite offensive environment. He should be primed for a bounce-back in a projected high-scoring affair (O/U 48.5) against the Vikings on Sunday evening.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (calf) returned to a limited practice on Friday and is considered questionable for the Sunday night game against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 15, according to Adam Caplan of Sirius XM NFL Radio. Ferguson was limited in Wednesday's practice before being downgraded to a DNP on Thursday, raising concerns about his status for this weekend. Executive vice president Stephen Jones said on Friday that the Cowboys fully expect the 26-year-old tight end to be available on Sunday night, so fantasy managers should leave him in their starting lineups. Dallas is expected to have receiver CeeDee Lamb (concussion) available in Week 15 as well. Ferguson has been a must-start fantasy TE in 2025, with 75 catches on 90 targets for 554 yards and seven touchdowns in his 13 games played.
Dec 12, 2025 5:54 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said that tight end Jake Ferguson (calf) will be able to play in Week 15 against the Minnesota Vikings, per ESPN's Todd Archer. Ferguson was held out of Cowboys practice on Thursday due to a calf issue. Across 13 games this season, the 26-year-old has hauled in 75 receptions for 554 yards and seven touchdowns on 90 targets. While he's not the most explosive player, Ferguson has earned at least six targets and recorded at least five catches in four out of his last five games played. He profiles as a low-end starter at the tight end position for fantasy managers in Week 15.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (calf) was unable to practice on Thursday due to a calf injury, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. It's a downgrade for Ferguson, who was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice. Mid-week downgrades usually are a bad sign, so fantasy managers need to keep a close eye on the 26-year-old's status on Friday. If he is unable to play on Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings, Luke Schoonmaker will likely be Dallas' top pass-catching tight end. Ferguson has been an excellent value pick for fantasy managers who waited to draft him, as he currently ranks as the TE2 in half-PPR points thanks to 75 catches on 90 targets for 554 yards and seven touchdowns in 13 games played. Only Arizona's Trey McBride has more touchdowns than Ferguson in 2025. Fantasy managers who have been riding with Ferguson all year need to make sure they have a backup plan ready for this weekend.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (calf) was limited during Wednesday's practice with a calf issue. Ferguson had a clean bill of health heading into Week 14's Thursday night matchup with the Lions, and he was heavily involved throughout the game, finishing with five catches on seven targets for 58 yards. Ferguson has been the TE3 in Half-PPR formats and is RotoBaller's TE8 heading into a Week 15 Sunday night matchup with the Vikings, so his status certainly bears monitoring. Third-year tight end Luke Schoonmaker makes for an interesting pivot should Ferguson's availability remain cloudy until game time, but with all teams now past the bye, fantasy managers should be able to find higher upside streaming options in what would be a worst-case scenario.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has been a key contributor to his team's passing game all season, and he'll remain a strong starting option in all formats on Thursday Night Football, as the Cowboys roll into the Motor City. Ferguson has maintained consistent volume in the passing game eve with George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb putting up great numbers on the outside. Ferguson has at least four catches in each of his last four games and has totaled 162 receiving yards and a touchdown in those four contests. He is up to seven touchdowns on the season, and he remains a very strong starting option against the Lions' defense, which ranks in the middle of the pack against tight ends this season. In a neutral matchup, Ferguson's volume makes him the No. 4 TE this week in RotoBaller's Week 14 rankings, so he can be started with confidence in almost all leagues.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson is looking to bounce back against the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend. Ferguson had a strong stretch of play, but has been a bit sluggish lately. Last week, Ferguson hauled in four of his five targets for 16 yards in the win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The return of CeeDee Lamb seems to have cut into some of Ferguson's target share over the last few games. The 26-year-old has been held to under 50 receiving yards four of his last five games. Despite that, Ferguson should still be plugged in as a TE1 for this Week 12 matchup.
Nov 22, 2025 6:45 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has been a steady target for Dak Prescott all season. Ferguson has recorded at least five receptions in all but two games this year and continues to be one of the most reliable pass catchers in the Cowboys' offense. He's coming off a Week 9 performance where he posted five receptions for 50 yards against the Cardinals. This week, Ferguson and the Cowboys are set to face the Las Vegas Raiders in what could turn into a shootout (49.5 total). The Raiders' defense has been mediocre against the pass, allowing around 214 passing yards per game, which ranks 16th in the NFL. With a high implied scoring total, Dallas should be able to put points on the board, giving Ferguson plenty of opportunities in the passing game. RotoBaller currently has Ferguson ranked as the TE5 for Week 11.
Nov 15, 2025 5:02 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson had a solid game in his final outing before the team's Week 10 bye, recording five catches for 50 yards on seven targets in a Week 9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. However, the 26-year-old's target volume has tailed off in recent weeks after a scorching start to the season. Across the first five weeks of 2025, Ferguson was averaging 9.6 targets per game. From Weeks 6 through 9, Ferguson averaged 4.5 targets per contest. That drop-off coincided with the return of star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb to the lineup, who had three-plus games in the middle of the season with a high-ankle sprain. Coming out of the bye, Ferguson could continue to lose targets to Lamb and Cowboys wideout George Pickens. Ferguson may still be a useful fantasy tight end, but he's more reliant on touchdowns now than he was earlier in the year.
Nov 11, 2025 9:31 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson had a rough outing in Week 8 against the Denver Broncos, catching zero passes on one target. The performance was uncharacteristic, as Ferguson has seen five or more targets in six of eight games this season. This week, Ferguson and the Cowboys face the Arizona Cardinals, a team that has struggled against tight ends in 2025. With a potentially high-scoring game on the horizon, Ferguson is in position to bounce back as a key piece of Dallas' passing attack. RotoBaller currently ranks Ferguson as the TE7 for Week 9, making him a solid start in all formats, particularly for managers seeking consistent tight end production.
Nov 1, 2025 4:49 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has quickly become one of quarterback Dak Prescott's favorite targets in the passing game, and it didn't hurt that he wore his QB's high-school jersey to the stadium as a show of good faith. In the 44-22 blowout victory over the Washington Commanders in Week 7 on Sunday, Ferguson caught all seven of his targets for only 29 yards, but he found the end zone twice to bring his season total to six. In a high-volume Cowboys passing offense, the 26-year-old has developed some nice chemistry with Prescott this year. Ferguson has exactly seven receptions in three of the last four weeks, and all six of his touchdowns on the season have come in the last four games. His ceiling will likely be lowered now that top wideout CeeDee Lamb has returned from a high-ankle sprain, but Ferguson's red-zone prowess should continue, making him a weekly TE1 for fantasy managers in what has been a high-scoring offense.
Oct 20, 2025 12:09 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has crushed through six games this season, ranking as the TE1 in PPR points and outscoring the next TE by almost 14 points. Ferguson may see a reduced share of targets in Week 7 against Washington as star WR CeeDee Lamb returns to the lineup. Ferguson was still very productive in the two full games with Lamb, catching 14 of 18 targets for 101 yards. The tight end remains a dangerous red-zone threat and Dak Prescott's preferred target underneath. Ferguson remains a top-tier fantasy TE option for Week 7, with a potential high-scoring matchup against Washington.
Oct 18, 2025 2:11 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson remains a must-start fantasy option heading into Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers. Ferguson has been excellent so far this season, ranking as the overall TE1 with his 41 catches, 272 yards, and three touchdowns through five games. He has continued to demonstrate a strong rapport with Dak Prescott, cementing himself as one of the top targets in an offense that racks up high yardage totals every week. The 26-year-old could be headed for another big outing on Sunday against the Panthers, who have allowed the most receiving yards and second-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends in 2025. Ferguson should be started with confidence in all leagues.
Oct 11, 2025 1:02 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson recorded seven catches for 49 yards and two touchdowns on nine targets in his team's 37-22 Week 5 win over the New York Jets. Ferguson continues to produce like one of the best tight ends in the NFL in 2025. Through five games, the 26-year-old has hauled in 41 catches for 272 yards and three touchdowns on 48 targets. Ferguson looks like a must-start player at the tight end position heading into a juicy Week 6 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
