Who Should I Start? Jake Ferguson or Rachaad White

Saturday, October 11, 1:02 AM

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson remains a must-start fantasy option heading into Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers. Ferguson has been excellent so far this season, ranking as the overall TE1 with his 41 catches, 272 yards, and three touchdowns through five games. He has continued to demonstrate a strong rapport with Dak Prescott, cementing himself as one of the top targets in an offense that racks up high yardage totals every week. The 26-year-old could be headed for another big outing on Sunday against the Panthers, who have allowed the most receiving yards and second-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends in 2025. Ferguson should be started with confidence in all leagues.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has really stepped up in the team's lead-back role the last two weeks with Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) nursing multiple injuries. In the 30-19 win over the visiting San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in Week 6, White stayed productive with a team-leading 17 rushing attempts for 65 yards and a touchdown while adding three catches on three targets for 21 additional yards. The 26-year-old hasn't been all that productive with his touches the last two weeks since seeing an expanded role in the backfield, but he has delivered for fantasy managers with a nose for the end zone, scoring three total times in the last two games with Irving out. It's unclear if Irving will return in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football, but if he misses a third straight game, White will maintain his plug-and-play RB2 status in fantasy.
