Ferguson (calf) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at the Giants, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Ferguson didn't finish last week's game but will be available for the season finale after upgrading to full practice participation Friday. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones noted that the team could remove key veterans at some point Sunday, but there hasn't been any hint of that from the coaching staff.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Limited Thursday
Rotowire
Ferguson (calf) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
After spending Wednesday's session on the side working with trainers, Ferguson showed some progress with the calf injury that knocked him out for the second half of last Thursday's win at Washington. It's unclear yet if he's in danger of missing Sunday's game at the Giants, but he's put together a modest 25-211-2 line on 34 targets in seven contests since the Cowboys' Week 10 bye.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: DNP on Wednesday
Rotowire
Ferguson (calf) didn't take part in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Ferguson didn't play after halftime of last Thursday's win at Washington due to a calf injury, ending Week 17 action with one catch (on two targets) for six yards and one touchdown. He was spotted working with Cowboys trainers on the side Wednesday, per Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, so his lack of activity to begin Week 18 prep isn't a surprise. Ferguson will have two more sessions this week to put himself in a position to suit up Sunday at the Giants.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Won't return Thursday
Rotowire
Ferguson won't return to Thursday's contest at Washington due to a calf injury, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.
The Cowboys made the announcement not long after halftime, but prior to that point there was no indication Ferguson was dealing with a health concern. In any case, he'll finish Week 17 with one catch (on two targets) for six yards and one touchdown. Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford will be Dallas' options at tight end for the rest of Thursday's game.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Just three grabs in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Ferguson caught three of four targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Chargers.
For the second straight game and the fourth time in the last eight contests, Ferguson failed to reach 20 receiving yards. After a fantastic start to the season, the fourth-year tight end has faded away, managing a poor 29-155-1 line on 40 targets during that eight-game span. He'll look to find a spark in Week 17 against the Commanders.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Subpar showing in SNF loss
Rotowire
Ferguson recorded two catches on four targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Vikings.
Ferguson was surprisingly uninvolved in the Dallas offense for most of the game, with both of his catches going for short gains in the second quarter. His four targets were his fewest since Week 8, though this was the third time in his last seven games that Ferguson had 16 receiving yards or fewer. Ferguson will draw another tough matchup in Week 16 against the Chargers.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Still looking good for Sunday
Rotowire
Ferguson (calf), who is officially questionable for Sunday's Week 15 matchup against Minnesota, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Though Ferguson logged an LP/DNP/LP practice progression this week, there hasn't been substantial chatter about him needing to miss Sunday's contest. That remains the case as of Saturday evening, though official confirmation of Ferguson's status may not come until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Should there be a surprise and Ferguson needs to sit out the matchup, Luke Schoonmaker would likely work as the Cowboys' top tight end.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Officially questionable for SNF
Rotowire
Ferguson (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota after logging a limited practice Friday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Ferguson sandwiched two limited practices around a Thursday absence, with Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones revealing Friday that the team expects its top tight end to be available Sunday night. If not, Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford will be the top TEs for an offense that's consolidated around RB Javonte Williams, WR CeeDee Lamb and WR George Pickens over the past month. Anyone considering Ferguson as a Week 15 lineup option should keep an eye on the situation, as he'd be a high-risk play if there's any hint of real danger for missing SNF.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Expected to play
Rotowire
Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said Friday that he expects Ferguson (calf) to play Sunday night against the Vikings, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Ferguson was a limited practice participant Wednesday and then sat out Thursday, but Jones said the tight end looked good during Friday's practice. It still seems more likely than not for Ferguson to enter the game with a 'questionable' designation, which could be tricky for managers ahead of a primetime kickoff (8:20 p.m. ET Sunday).

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Doesn't practice Thursday
Rotowire
Ferguson (calf) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Ferguson opened Week 15 prep as limited due to a calf injury Wednesday, so his downgrade one day later is somewhat concerning. However, he was seen rehabbing with the Cowboys' training staff on the side Thursday, according to Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News. Friday's injury report may include a ruling on Ferguson's status ahead of Sunday's game versus the Vikings, but if he needs to miss any time, Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford are the next TEs up on Dallas' roster.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Five catches against KC
Rotowire
Ferguson caught five of six targets for 36 yards in Thursday's 31-28 win over Kansas City.
The tight end nearly hauled in his eighth TD of the season late in the third quarter on a 13-yard toss from Dak Prescott, but replay showed that Ferguson's second foot got tangled up with his defenders and never landed in bounds at the back of the end zone. It was still the fourth straight game in which he's caught at least four passes, and Ferguson has 70 receptions on the season -- one short of the career high he set in 2023, and second among all tight ends this year behind Trey McBride's 80. Ferguson will look to establish that new personal best Week 14 against the Lions.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Role remains consistent
Rotowire
Ferguson recorded five catches on six targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Eagles.
Ferguson continued to serve as the third option in the Dallas passing offense behind both George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb. He had one of his better showings in recent weeks, logging lengthy receptions of 19, 17 and 12 yards. Ferguson may not have many spike performances so long as both Pickens and Lamb are healthy, but he has at least four catches in three straight games while reaching 50 yards twice in that span.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Reemerges in offense Monday
Rotowire
Ferguson brought in five of seven targets for 50 yards in the Cowboys' 27-17 loss to the Cardinals on Monday night.
Following a rare Week 8 blanking against the Broncos, Ferguson bounced back Monday night to finish third across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets for the Cowboys. The talented tight end did lose a fumble deep in Cardinals territory just past the halfway point of the second quarter, however, and although the turnover didn't directly lead to any points for Arizona, it certainly robbed Dallas of a scoring opportunity. Ferguson has at least five receptions in all but two games and a career-high six touchdown catches heading into the Week 10 bye, but he's also averaging a career-low 6.9 yards per grab.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Blanked by Broncos
Rotowire
Ferguson didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 44-24 loss to the Broncos.
Ferguson has been one of the league's most productive tight ends in 2025, but he laid an egg against a tough Denver defense. He came into Sunday's loss riding a four-game, six-touchdown streak, and Ferguson had previously fallen short of five catches only once all season. Dallas' entire passing offense struggled, as Dak Prescott failed to throw a touchdown pass. Ferguson and his teammates will likely put forth a better performance at home against the Cardinals in Week 9.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Scoring binge continues
Rotowire
Ferguson corralled all seven of his targets for 29 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Commanders.
Ferguson continued his red zone prowess Sunday, extending his scoring streak to four games while recording his sixth touchdown over that span. The 26-year-old is on pace for a career year with 51 receptions, 334 yards and a career-high six touchdowns in just seven games played this season. Fantasy managers should probably continue playing with house money and start Ferguson without question against the Broncos next Sunday.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Contrarian DFS Play
Rotowire
I anticipate a lot of people get off Ferguson this week because while his price does reflect his recent production, we expect CeeDee Lamb back. If that's right, he is a great tournament play against the Commanders in a game with an over/under of 54.5. Ferguson had a huge role even when Lamb was healthy and this could be one of the highest scoring games of the season.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Hauls in two TDs in win
Rotowire
Ferguson caught seven of nine targets for 49 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-22 win over the Jets.
Dak Prescott continues to lean heavily on the tight end while CeeDee Lamb (ankle) is sidelined. Ferguson was on the other end of two of the QB's four TD passes on the afternoon, hitting paydirt on a 26-yard strike and a one-yard toss in the second quarter as the Cowboys built a 23-3 lead before halftime. Over three games since Lamb went down, Ferguson has compiled a 27-171-3 line on 30 targets, and his seven receptions Sunday were a team high. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 6 against the Panthers.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Perfect on seven targets Sunday
Rotowire
Ferguson brought in all seven of his targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-40 overtime tie versus Green Bay.
Ferguson's perfect day at the office was highlighted by the tight end's first receiving touchdown of the season. The 26-year-old failed to sniff the 13 targets he averaged over his last two starts, but the increase efficiency coupled with a trip to the end zone resulted in his best standard fantasy score to date. Ferguson should continue operating as the Cowboys' No. 2 receiving option behind George Pickens for as long as CeeDee Lamb (ankle) remains sidelined -- a scenario that could repeat itself in a Week 5 matchup against the Jets next Sunday.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Targeted 14 times
Rotowire
Ferguson recorded 13 receptions on 14 targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Bears.
Ferguson commanded double-digit targets for the second consecutive week, though he was aided by the absence of CeeDee Lamb (ankle) in Sunday's loss. Ferguson was targeted exclusively in the short areas of the field, with his longest gain of the day going for only 12 yards. While his showings haven't been particularly explosive, Ferguson has a key role in the Dallas offense and has topped 75 receiving yards in consecutive contests.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: TEs to Start
Rotowire
Ferguson is off to a good start this season, and he's worth starting in all leagues in Week 3 at Chicago. He had nine catches for 78 yards on 12 targets in Week 2 against the Giants, but he also had a quality outing in Week 1 at Philadelphia with five catches for 23 yards on six targets. He's still a go-to option for Dak Prescott, and the Lions just got a touchdown from Brock Wright in Week 2 against the Bears.
