Jake Ferguson is Quietly a Late Round Tight End Option

Tuesday, February 24, 11:01 AM

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson disappointed quite a few fantasy managers at the tail-end of the 2025 season despite his career-high 82 receptions on 102 targets for 600 yards and a career-high eight touchdowns across all 17 games. However, looking ahead to 2026, Ferguson remains a low-end TE1 option on a functional offense that managers can pick up in one of the later rounds for good value. Admittedly, Ferguson is not the most consistent tight end, but he did tally eight top-10 tight end finishes in 2025, averaged six targets per game, and had a season-long route participation rate of 73%. He will continue to compete for targets with star wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, but Ferguson is quarterback Dak Prescott's preferred tight end option. Ferguson signed a four-year contract extension before the 2025 season, making him a key piece of the high-powered Cowboys offense through at least 2029, adding to the tight end's dynasty value.

Tyler Warren Profiles as the Clear Lead Target-Earner in Indianapolis

Friday, March 13, 2:43 PM

Across 17 games as a rookie in 2025, Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren recorded 76 receptions for 817 yards and four touchdowns on 112 targets. Like the rest of the Colts offense, Warren's production faded as the season progressed. After Indianapolis' Week 11 bye, the 23-year-old failed to log more than five receptions for 45 receiving yards in any of the team's final seven contests. Still, Warren showed significant upside in his first NFL campaign and should be well-positioned to re-capture some of his first-half magic in 2026. For one, the Colts should be getting back quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles), who missed the team's final four games of 2025 after suffering a torn Achilles tendon. Perhaps most importantly, Indianapolis traded wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. to the Pittsburgh Steelers, opening the door for Warren to be the team's clear lead target-earner in 2026 and beyond. Warren should be considered an elite dynasty tight end option for fantasy managers.
