Jake Ferguson News
Friday, July 10, 12:11 PM
Chris Amaya of the Express News writes that Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson "should be the undisputed starter at tight end" again in 2026, especially after he signed a four-year, $52 million extension with the team last year. Ferguson didn't provide Dallas with a ton of big plays down the middle of the field last year, but he finished with 82 receptions for 600 yards and eight touchdowns in 17 games (10 starts) to finish as the TE7 in half-PPR scoring. The 27-year-old has a safe floor in fantasy in one of the most pass-happy offenses in the NFL, but his average depth of catch has dropped from 10.7 yards in 2023 to 7.3 yards per reception last season. It's also a bit concerning that his involvement dropped down the stretch in 2025. Ferguson has plenty of talent, but the target competition with one of the best WR duos in the league of CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens is real. He's a two-time All-Star, but you'll need to remember that he didn't have a single touchdown grab in 14 starts in 2024, so TD regression should be expected. RotoBaller has Ferguson ranked as the No. 13 fantasy TE for the 2026 season.

Colston Loveland News
Friday, July 3, 6:18 PM
Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland got his NFL career off to a slow start in 2025 after he was selected 10th overall out of the University of Michigan, but he eventually kicked it into high gear and finished with 58 receptions, 713 yards, and six touchdowns in 16 regular-season games (11 starts) to land as the TE12 in half-PPR scoring. At this time last year, Loveland was rehabbing an injury he sustained in his final year with the Wolverines, which forced him to miss some of the offseason program and the start of training camp. His 58 catches, 713 yards, and six TDs led the Bears, and the 22-year-old became a favorite target of quarterback Caleb Williams down the stretch. "I love what he brings to the table. He's one of the most consistent players I've been around, and that's saying a lot for a young guy, because I think it takes a while before guys can truly understand what it means to be a professional," head coach Ben Johnson said. With receiver DJ Moore now in Buffalo, Loveland should have an even bigger target share in 2026 in Year 2, and he has as much upside at the TE position as anyone. RotoBaller has Loveland ranked as the No. 3 TE for the upcoming season.
