TE Jake Ferguson, DAL (2 Viewers)

Stole him in 11th round of one draft, had him on my list, wanted him
had a good idea no one wanted him due to last season doing nothing/injury/etc

paired him with Fannin as backup in PPR
 
I grabbed him in every redraft. I expected him to be open a lot with Lamb/Pickens, but let’s not go patting ourselves on the backs too hard - the Lamb injury has absolutely elevated Ferguson’s targets/value.

I expect that to drop off a bit once Lamb is back.

Sure, but he was doing just fine when Lamb was healthy and he is a TE1 going forward.

Are there even multiple good TE options in the entire league right now?

The point is, I don't think Ferguson will be nearly as good after Lamb comes back. I just don't think it's sustainable and I would rather take advantage of that now while is value is this high. It's not as if he's been a stud the last few years.

He's a PPR godsend. I don't know. He's one of the few TE's that seems to have plays designed for him. He's not an athletic freak, but he seems to have 5 catches a week CeeDee or not if Dak is the QB.

Oh I don't deny what he's doing. Based upon his past, or so it seems to me without looking, if you're not a contender I would sell him so fast I wouldn't give him time to pack his bags. :)

In my big money league I have Ferguson and Kraft and I wouldn't trade either. I feel like good TE's have a lot of value.
 
Ferguson was getting just as many targets when Lamb was playing. Just no TDs. Was the #9 TE in 2023 during his 2nd season. Cowboys paid him and have a huge role for him. People get way too caught up in athletic freaks and miss out on these fantasy value studs right in their face.

Everyone is technically tradable. I'm sure you would take Taylor for Kraft if someone offered.

If I had Kraft and Ferguson I would keep Kraft and trade Ferguson to help another position, then pickup Musgrave as insurance if you don't have anyone else. He's probably on the waiver wire in most leagues. Kraft's bye week is done.

Agreed. Hell, Dalton Shultz went undrafted in my home league, but he's been a weekly TEP contributor for me in a start-2 TE TEP league. He's about the least athletic TE in the NFL. But he gets consistent targets, which elevates his floor.

I happily drafted Ferguson after the "elite" were taken off the board in round 9 of my home redraft. That's an IDP, so equivalent to the 7th-ish. Zero complaints. Great value.
 
Ferguson has been having a great year, but I am concerned he won't be able to keep up this pace, especially with Lamb coming back. What are our expectations for him ROS and also in Keeper/Dynasty leagues?

I would still expect him to be solid, but Lamb’s return will certainly cap his ceiling. Doubt we see a repeat of Week 3 or 5, but he should still see a healthy amount of targets. Dallas D sucks too, so the game script should be positive most weeks.

I think we’ll see a lot of 7/60 or similar lines, with a TD sprinkled in here or there. Which, honestly, is about all you can ask for out out of the TE position.

I would be thrilled with 7/60 weekly with a TD sprinkled in here and there 👍

That would put him as a top 5 tight end the rest of the season. Pretty easily too. I would love that.
 
While Lamb may hurt his target volume, I think the yards per catch and TD's should stay the same or even improve.
He has always been a red zone threat.
 
He was solid when Lamb was playing at the beginning of the year. He'll regress a little from the recent highs, but I'd still put him in the top-8-ish.
