Jake Ferguson A Risky Fantasy Option Amid Poor Production

Saturday, October 17, 12:45 AM

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has failed to be a big part of his team's efforts to move the ball down the field in the passing game this season. Though he's caught three touchdowns in five games this season, he's made a series of crucial mistakes, such as losing a key fumble in Week 3 and failing to catch a close losses, pass that ended up as an interception in Week 5. Both those games ended up being one-score losses. It would probably serve Dallas well to ease back on Ferguson's targets and start getting the ball to WR Ryan Flournoy more -- he's shown excellent flashes of talent and his film is impressive. Ferguson has a lot of mistakes to clean up and not a lot of upside, as he's averaging just 20.4 receiving yards per game. The opposing Green Bay Packers, who Dallas will face in Week 6, are bottom-10 in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season. Fantasy managers outside of dynasty leagues may want to look elsewhere for a starting TE this week.

Mason Taylor Deemed Out for Second Straight Game

Friday, October 2, 10:37 PM

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's road game against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. It's no surprise that the 22-year-old will miss a second straight appearance after not practicing since injuring his thumb in the team's 20-17 loss to the Packers in Week 2. The trio of Kenyon Sadiq, Jeremy Ruckert, and Jelani Woods will again divvy up the snaps with the second-year pro set to be inactive. It will be interesting to see how the snap share shakes out when Taylor returns to action. When healthy, he led the room by a solid margin, though that could change if Sadiq's Week 3 breakout weren't a fluke.
