Who Should I Start? Jake Ferguson or Ja'Tavion Sanders

Saturday, November 15, 5:02 PM

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has been a steady target for Dak Prescott all season. Ferguson has recorded at least five receptions in all but two games this year and continues to be one of the most reliable pass catchers in the Cowboys' offense. He's coming off a Week 9 performance where he posted five receptions for 50 yards against the Cardinals. This week, Ferguson and the Cowboys are set to face the Las Vegas Raiders in what could turn into a shootout (49.5 total). The Raiders' defense has been mediocre against the pass, allowing around 214 passing yards per game, which ranks 16th in the NFL. With a high implied scoring total, Dallas should be able to put points on the board, giving Ferguson plenty of opportunities in the passing game. RotoBaller currently has Ferguson ranked as the TE5 for Week 11.

Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders delivered another unimpressive performance in Carolina's 30-27 win against the Falcons. He caught all four of his targets for 22 yards and totaled just 6.4 PPR Fantasy Points. This marks the fourth week in a row in which Sanders caught all of his targets, but he has also never been targeted more than five times in a game during that span. The Panthers will next take on the San Francisco 49ers, who ranked 20th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed (15.68) over the last four weeks leading up to Week 11 and allowed 115 receiving yards to Trey McBride on Sunday. Despite the favorable matchup for Week 12, Sanders has not shown enough results throughout the year to be considered a viable streaming or fill-in option.
