Luke Schoonmaker
TE - Dallas Cowboys
2024 Outlook
Luke Schoonmaker caught both of his targets for 23 yards and one touchdown during the Cowboys' 33-10 win over the Panthers in Week 11.
Fantasy Impact
Schoonmaker isn't on the fantasy radar, but he has emerged as a big body for Dak Prescott to target in the end zone and other short-yardage situations. Through 10 games, he has five catches, 37 yards, and two touchdowns.
Luke Schoonmaker caught 0-of-3 targets in Cowboys’ 38-3 win over the Patriots.
Fantasy Impact
Schoonmaker has just one reception on five targets in three games this season. With Peyton Hendershot inactive with an injury, Schoonmaker had an opportunity to see additional playing time against New England. The Cowboys clearly rely on Jake Ferguson more, which should leave Schoonmaker on fantasy waiver wires.
The Dallas Cowboys depth chart lists rookie TE Luke Schoonmaker as their third tight end behind Jake Ferguson and Peyton Hendershot.
Fantasy Impact
Ferguson and Hendershot worked in a rotation in 2022 when TE Dalton Schultz missed time. Ferguson is listed as the team's TE1, which lines up with the usage last season. Schoonmaker, a second-round pick in 2023, has dealt with injury all offseason and hasn't had time to establish himself on the team's roster. His impact should be limited for fantasy purposes in 2023, though his draft capital provides hope as a long-term dynasty stash.
The Cowboys will activate Luke Schoonmaker from the Non-Football Injury list Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Schoonmaker landed on the NFI list with a foot injury that occurred prior to entering the NFL. The second-rounder will now get to see his first reps in training camp with the Cowboys as he enters his rookie season. Schoonmaker currently ranks as the TE40 in ECR, according to FantasyPros.
Dallas Cowboys rookie TE Luke Schoonmaker, who was dealing with a foot injury that limited him in OTAs, is beginning training camp on the non-football injury list.
Fantasy Impact
The NFI list doesn’t mean his injury wasn’t football related, it just means it came from before he was with the NFL. This means his foot injury likely stems from college and the Cowboys are taking it easy with the second-rounder as he heads into his rookie year. If healthy, Schoonmaker has the ability to find his way on the field early due to his abilities as a blocker and pass catcher. If Schoonmaker isn’t ready for the start of the season, though, Jake Ferguson and Peyton Hendershot will carry the bulk of the load at TE.
