Jake Ferguson News
Saturday, October 24, 8:16 AM
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson is likely better left out of starting lineups for his team's Week 7 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. He hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 3, hasn't scored double-digit PPR fantasy points in Week 2, is a low-volume receiving player, and has been entirely dependent on multi-touchdown games for fantasy relevance this season. Dallas has struggled to move the ball at times, and Ferguson has not been a big part of the game plan all season. He has just two games with five or more targets, which isn't a recipe for fantasy football success. Most of Dallas' passing offense now flows through wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, and it's not unreasonable to expect contests where each have double-digit targets. That doesn't leave a lot of room left over for the other pass-catchers, especially as WR Ryan Flournoy and RB Javonte Williams each get a few per game. Touchdown receptions are difficult to predict. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for a starting TE for Week 7.

Trey McBride News
Saturday, October 24, 2:17 AM
Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride's streak of games with double-digit targets came to an end last week. McBride fell one short of extending the streak to a sixth game to start the season, getting nine targets against the Rams in Week 6. Arizona's heavy reliance on McBride has made him one of the league's most productive pass-catchers. He ranks third among all players with 65 targets and is tied with Jaxon Smith-Njigba for the league lead in receptions, with 49. McBride can be expected to function as the Cardinals' top receiver once again in Week 7. The Broncos have not given much ground against tight ends, but George Kittle showed they can be beaten with his 70-yard, one-TD performance against them in Week 4. McBride has pushed himself into must-start territory, regardless of the matchup. Make sure to lock him into lineups for Week 7.
