Jake Ferguson

Jake Ferguson averaged just 7.3 PPG when George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb were both healthy (> 50% snap share) in the lineup during the 2025 season (11 games). Five games without Lamb playing at least 50% of the snaps -> 13.5 PPG. Still, the overall production and career-high 8 TDs resulted in TE13 finishing in half-PPR scoring (per game). Top-5 in cumulative scoring in full PPR formats.
If George Pickens returns....Ferguson is facing a major uphill battle to rise above TD-or-bust TE territory. But if the impending FA cashes big elsewhere...the Dallas TE figures to be another strong option.

Jake Ferguson is a competent pass catcher in a prolific offense, but the presence of two star receivers in Dallas could limit Ferguson's fantasy upside. Ferguson had 82 catches for 600 yards and eight touchdowns in 2025. The reception and TD totals were career highs, but Ferguson averaged just 7.3 yards per catch, a career low. He finished TE8 in half point fantasy scoring but was TE13 in fantasy points per game among TEs who played at least five games. The Cowboys have an explosive passing attack, but WRs CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens are QB Dak Prescott's principal targets. The Lamb-Pickens duo combined for 250 targets and 168 receptions last season. Ferguson's 2026 production could be limited as long as Lamb and Pickens are both healthy, so it's best to consider Ferguson a high-end TE2 in this year's drafts.
