News: 12 hours agoFerguson failed to haul in his lone target during Monday's 38-21 win over the Eagles.

Spin: Monday was the first time since Week 8 of the 2025 season that Ferguson failed to record a catch, and the only pass he saw from Dak Prescott was on a broken play in the red zone early in the fourth quarter. Ferguson's 38 offensive snaps were only two more than fellow tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford, and the latter's role in the offense has grown over the last few weeks at the expense of the former. Week 8 against the Cardinals presents itself as a bounce-back opportunity for Ferguson, seeing as Arizona's defense ranks 27th in the NFL in fantasy points allowed per game to tight ends.

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.
