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. What fueled his season was red zone targets (second among tight ends behind only Trey McBride) and touchdowns (tied for third-best). I expect Ferguson to be a consistent red zone weapon for Dak Prescott again in 2026. With his touchdown equity alone, Ferguson could be a TE1 in Week 1. Last year, in Weeks 12-18, the Giants allowed the most yards per target and the 14th-most fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends.
