News: 2 days agoFerguson caught both of his targets for six yards during Sunday night's 28-20 loss to the Giants.

Spin: Ferguson along with quarterback Dak Prescott, amongst others, did not play during the preseason, and the team never really got into a groove on offense Week 1. The tight end remains the unquestioned No. 1 option at his position with Dallas, and he'll have a chance to be more involved Week 2 against Washington.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Ferguson has emerged as a reliable target for Dak Prescott in the high-scoring Dallas offense, which has led to solid fantasy production. Ferguson, who has handled a 17% target share each of the past three seasons, is fresh off a career year in which he ranked third among tight ends in receptions, touchdowns and end zone targets (10). His nine top-12 fantasy weeks tied for second, though it's worth noting that his production dropped off substantially with a healthy CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens on the field during the second half of the season (under 12.0 fantasy points in each of his final eight healthy games, 7.3 PPG during the span). The 27-year-old's role as a short-range target (4.7 aDOT last season) limits his yardage upside, but he sees just enough work, including near the goal line, to allow fringe-TE1 production. Don't call him "Joke Farterson" ("Fantasy Football Now" viewers get it); Ferguson is vying for his third top-10 fantasy campaign in his past four seasons.
