Jake Ferguson Settling Into Red Zone Role Ahead of Week 4

Saturday, October 3, 2:06 AM

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has three touchdown catches in as many games to start the 2026 NFL season. He's 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds, and has the trust of his quarterback, Dak Prescott, in crucial areas of the field. Ferguson had 15 touchdowns in his NFL career and eight scoring grabs last season, and he's on pace to crush his career-high and add a significant amount to his total. He has just nine catches for 72 yards on his 11 targets, so he's made them count. A lost fumble in Week 3 put a damper on his fantasy score. And his volume isn't anything special, which makes him heavily touchdown-dependent. Houston's defense gave up 9.8 PPR fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends in 2025, slightly less than league average, so the matchup isn't terrible. But Ferguson's two-catch, six-yard performance in Week 1 against a soft New York Giants defense is indicative of his low floor. Ferguson is a high-end TE2 with upside for Week 4 in fantasy football.

Harold Fannin Jr. Looks Like Good Play Vs. Steelers

Wednesday, September 30, 1:40 PM

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. is coming off of his breakout game in Week 3 against the Carolina Panthers in which he emerged for his first two receiving touchdowns of the season from quarterback Deshaun Watson. Fannin Jr. will look for more of the same at home in Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This year, the former Bowling Green tight end has 14 catches for 126 yards (9.0 yards per carry) in his second NFL season. Fannin Jr. has built up his target share in each game this year with him receiving nine targets from Watson in Week 3. Expect more of the same for the talented pass catcher in Week 4 at home. He could push for 10-plus targets and have a very effective game on Thursday Night Football. The Steelers have a serviceable defense but are battling some injuries in the secondary and that could create mismatches to exploit for Fannin Jr. and the Browns passing attack. At 6-foot-4 and 241 pounds, Fannin Jr. has great size for a tight end and will look to put that to use against Pittsburgh. Look for Fannin Jr. to be a top-tier starting tight end this week.
