Expert
Pat Fitzmaurice FantasyPros	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 game, but WRs CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens are QB Dak Prescott's principle 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.
Andrew Erickson FantasyPros	Juwan Johnson finished 5th in catches (77) and third in yards (889) among TEs in 2025, but he only scored three TDs (TE15 in PPG). It wasn't always pretty (tied for league-high 7 drops per PFF), but the WR-TE convert made the most of his sheer volume. The Saints already paid him a decent chunk of change, and there's currently little competition in the receiver room outside of Chris Olave and former 7th-round pick DeVaughn Vele. Johnson was the TE9 in PPG after the team traded Rashid Shaheed (9.1) before the deadline (with Tyler Shough making all but one of those starts). With Shough from Week 10 onward, Johnson averaged over 61 receiving yards per game. However, they did also add Noah Fant in free agency, and they have been heavily connected to WRs in this year's draft class.
