Who Should I Start? Jake Ferguson or De'Von Achane

Tuesday, September 16, 12:57 PM

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson had a big performance on Sunday in the team's thrilling back-and-forth overtime win over the New York Giants in Week 2. Ferguson ended up leading the team with 12 targets on the day and tied for the team lead in receptions with nine, while racking up 78 receiving yards. The 26-year-old finished second in yards, behind only top wideout CeeDee Lamb. It was a nice Week 2 performance after he had a modest day in the Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, when he went for five catches on six targets for 23 yards. Despite not scoring a touchdown through two weeks, Ferguson ranks as the TE10 in half-PPR scoring with 14 catches on 18 targets for 101 yards. He's unlikely to be available in your league, as he's currently rostered in 82% of Yahoo leagues. Ferguson will have a good shot at scoring his first 2025 TD in Week 3 against a Bears defense that just gave up over 50 points in Week 2 to Detroit.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane volumed his way to a solid fantasy performance on Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills. Achane recorded 62 yards on 12 carries and added another 29 yards on seven catches (nine targets). The 23-year-old ceded a goal-line touch to rookie running back Ollie Gordon II, who scored the lone rushing touchdown of the night for the Dolphins. While it wasn't the most efficient night for Achane, he's proven to be a high-volume touch-earner through his first three games of 2025. Achane has recorded 147 yards on 30 rush attempts, adding 141 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 18 catches. His 23 targets are tied for the team lead with wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Achane remains a must-start fantasy running back.
