  • Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Three catches in Week 4 win

    Ferguson caught three of four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 34-30 win over the Texans.

    Ferguson is averaging a career low 2.5 yards after catch per reception and just 0.71 yards per route run through four games to begin the season. He has three touchdowns on the year but otherwise has caught just 12 passes for 83 yards on 15 targets in Dallas' high-volume passing attack. He's merely fighting for scraps behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens and has devolved into a touchdown-or-bust fantasy bet.

  • Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Reaches end zone again in Brazil

    Ferguson caught three of five targets for 23 yards and a touchdown while also losing a fumble during Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Ravens.

    Ferguson was able to reach the end zone for the second straight week, connecting with quarterback Dak Prescott for a 19-yard score in the third quarter. The tight end did have a mishap early in the fourth quarter, losing a fumble after reeling in a short pass from Prescott. Ferguson has now caught nine of 11 targets for 72 yards and three touchdowns over three contests this season, and he'll face a tough test against the Texans dominant defense in Week 4.

  • Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Bounces back with two TDs in win

    Ferguson caught all four of his targets for 43 yards and two touchdowns in the Cowboys' 37-20 win over the Commanders on Sunday.

    After a quiet Week 1 against the Giants in which he caught just two passes for six scoreless yards, Ferguson bounced back with a pair of red-zone touchdowns against Washington. His four targets were still just fourth on the team, tied with Javonte Williams and behind CeeDee Lamb (nine), George Pickens (eight) and Ryan Flournoy (six) on a day Dak Prescott attempted 31 passes. Ferguson is shaping up as a touchdown-or-bust fantasy tight end headed into Week 3 versus Baltimore.

  • Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Quiet in Week 1

    Ferguson caught both of his targets for six yards during Sunday night's 28-20 loss to the Giants.

    Ferguson along with quarterback Dak Prescott, amongst others, did not play during the preseason, and the team never really got into a groove on offense Week 1. The tight end remains the unquestioned No. 1 option at his position with Dallas, and he'll have a chance to be more involved Week 2 against Washington.

  • Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Doesn't play in preseason

    Ferguson did not play in any of the Cowboys' three preseason games.

    Ferguson, George Pickens, CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott were all sidelined for the entire preseason, ensuring that they will all be available for Week 1 against the Giants on Sunday, Sept. 13. Ferguson is coming offf a career year, finishing the 2025 regular season with 82 catches (on 102 targets) for 600 yards and eight touchdowns across 17 games. Even with Lamb and Pickens both commanding 100-plus targets last year, Ferguson's reliability in the passing game has made him a go-to option for Prescott in the passing game. Ferguson will operate as the Cowboys' top pass-catching tight end this season, with Brevyn Spann-Ford and Luke Schoonmaker providing depth at the position.

  • Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Not in uniform Saturday

    Ferguson isn't suited up for Saturday's preseason contest against the Seahawks, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

    Coach Brian Schottenheimer said in early August that the Cowboys' starters won't play during the preseason, so Ferguson's absence from the opener Saturday isn't a concern. The veteran pass catcher is slated to resume his role as Dallas' top tight end in 2026 after notching a career-high 82 receptions (on 102 targets) for 600 yards and a career-best eight touchdowns over 17 regular-season games last year. Dallas' tight-end corps will be rounded out by Brevyn Spann-Ford and Luke Schoonmaker, among others.
