Should I Start Jake Ferguson?

Jake Ferguson May Continue to Lose Target Share Coming Out of the Bye Week

Tuesday, November 11, 9:31 PM

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.
