Jake Ferguson Emerging as a Red Zone Asset in Dallas

Wednesday, September 30, 12:30 PM

Three games into the 2026 season, Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has recorded nine catches for 72 yards and three touchdowns on 11 targets. Ferguson has averaged just 7.7 yards per reception since the start of the 2024 season, which limits his production upside. As long as Cowboys wideouts CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Ryan Flournoy remain healthy, it may also be difficult for Ferguson to see consistent target volume in Dallas. However, the 27-year-old has now logged 11 touchdowns across his last 20 games played and appears to be a clear red zone weapon for Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. With the potent Dallas offense looking likely to find itself in high-scoring games on a regular basis this season, Ferguson has a decent chance to continue scoring touchdowns. Particularly in deeper leagues, Ferguson profiles as a top tight end streamer for fantasy managers.

Harold Fannin Jr. News

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.
