Jake Ferguson Looks Like a Must-Start Tight End Through First Four Games of 2025

Tuesday, September 30, 9:53 PM

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson hauled in all seven of his targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in his team's Week 4 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Ferguson has now recorded 34 catches for 223 yards and a score on 39 targets through his first four games of 2025. With Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) currently sidelined by a high ankle sprain, Ferguson looks like the number two option in the passing game for quarterback Dak Prescott, behind only wide receiver George Pickens. Dallas has also attempted the most passes (171) of any team in the NFL this season. Ferguson profiles as a must-start fantasy tight end heading into a Week 5 matchup against the New York Jets.

Trey McBride Remains an Elite Option Vs. Seahawks

Thursday, September 25, 9:48 AM

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride isn't leaving the elite tier of his position any time soon. We have plenty of evidence that Kyler Murray loves throwing the ball his way. In fact, he's currently on pace to see 136 targets which would be the second-most of his career after getting 147 last year. Now, he sets his sights on the Seattle Seahawks in the Thursday Night game, who are currently ranked 31st against opposing tight ends. RotoBaller's projections have McBride sitting at 17.3 fantasy points in PPR formats by grabbing around seven receptions for about 70 yards. Once again, this goes without saying, that McBride should be in all lineups regardless of format.
