Jake Ferguson's Red-Zone Role Keeps Him in the TE1 Mix

Saturday, August 8, 12:06 PM

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson was one of Dak Prescott's favorite options near the goal line last season, and that still gives him a path to TE1 value. Ferguson caught a career-high 82 passes for 600 yards and eight touchdowns on 102 targets, finishing TE7 in half-PPR. He also drew 23 red-zone targets, catching 14 of them for seven scores. The problem is that Dallas has plenty of mouths to feed. CeeDee Lamb is healthy, George Pickens is coming off a huge season, and Ferguson averaged only 7.3 yards per catch in 2025. He is not the kind of tight end who can live on a handful of deep shots if the volume falls. The good news is that his job is secure, and the connection with Prescott has looked sharp again in camp. RotoBaller has Ferguson 129th overall and TE14 in its August 8 half-PPR rankings. That price reflects the risk without burying a player who just finished inside the top eight. Ferguson is better viewed as a borderline TE1 than someone fantasy managers need to chase.

Terrance Ferguson Set for TE1 Role in Los Angeles?

Wednesday, August 19, 12:10 PM

The "best version" of the Los Angeles Rams' offense will have tight end Terrance Ferguson leading the team's tight ends in catches and yards, according to Nate Atkins of The Athletic. Atkins also writes that he believes Ferguson "will emerge from (the Rams' tight ends) as the player worthy of an every-week, game-planned role." A second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Ferguson recorded 11 catches for 231 yards and three touchdowns on 25 targets across 14 games (three starts) as a rookie. The Rams' tight end room is extremely crowded, featuring Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen (quadriceps), and 2026 second-rounder Max Klare. However, the Rams use multiple tight end formations at one of the highest rates in the league. Ferguson also appears to be separating himself from the pack with his strong performance this summer. His value is rising in both redraft and dynasty formats entering 2026.
