Who Should I Start? Anthony Firkser or Jake Ferguson

Thursday, May 1, 12:10 AM

The Kansas City Chiefs released tight ends Anthony Firkser and Baylor Cupp, linebacker Shaun Bradley, offensive guard McKade Mettauer and safety Jason Taylor on Wednesday, according to KPRC's Aaron Wilson. They also received an international exemption for offensive tackle Chukwuebuka Godrick. Firkser is the biggest name of the bunch. The 30-year-old veteran tight end played for both the Chiefs and New York Jets last year but didn't contribute at all on offense and wasn't targeted in the passing game in seven total games with both teams. He signed a Reserve/Futures deal after KC's Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles but will now be searching for a new organization after the 2025 NFL draft. Firkser hasn't caught a pass in the NFL since 2022 with the Atlanta Falcons.

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.
