Fantasy Football Player Notes

Last year, Jake Ferguson managed his second TE10 finish in fantasy points per game among tight ends in the last three years. Last year, among 54 qualifying tight ends, Ferguson was 16th in target share (16%), 20th in receiving yards per game (35.3), 43rd in yards per route run (1.26), 18th in first-read share (17.6%), and 38th in first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). What fueled his season was red zone targets (second among tight ends behind only Trey McBride) and touchdowns (tied for third-best). Ferguson isn't likely to continue with that high-end touchdown production. If that slips, he's a mid-range TE2. I'm avoiding him in most drafts.
