Jake Ferguson a Lower-Cost TE1 in Dynasty Leagues

Tuesday, May 5, 6:02 AM

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has quietly gone about his business since coming into the league as a fourth-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. He's finished as the TE8 in two of the last three seasons, and following career-highs of eight touchdowns and 82 receptions in 2025, he could still be trending up. Should either CeeDee Lamb or George Pickens miss time, Ferguson is capable of stepping up as a top-two option in one of the league's premier offenses and delivering week-winning performances, evidenced by his TE1 stretch through the first seven weeks of the season, as Lamb missed parts of four games with a high ankle sprain. Dynasty managers who have held onto the 27-year-old tight end to this point are likely aware of his value and potential, so he's not an easy player to acquire through trade, but at RotoBaller's TE13, Ferguson is a smart selection in dynasty startups, as a proven TE1 for managers unwilling to pay up at the position.

Tucker Kraft Expects to Play in Week 1 With No Restrictions

Wednesday, June 10, 11:23 AM

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) said he expects to play in the Week 1 regular-season opener in early September without a pitch count, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. The 25-year-old suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his knee last year and has not been taking part in organized team activities, but he's expected to return to the field for training camp this summer and be ready for the start of the upcoming campaign. How much Kraft can do at camp will ultimately decide whether he's a full-go for Week 1, so we'll keep a close eye on his progress going into late July. The former third-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft out of South Dakota State was well on his way to a breakout in 2025 before injuring his knee, catching 32 of his 44 targets for 489 yards and six touchdowns in just eight starts for the Packers. Despite coming off a major knee injury, RotoBaller has Kraft ranked as the No. 5 fantasy TE for 2026. He'll be a high-risk/high-reward TE selection, and his cost will continue to rise if he looks good during camp.
