Ferguson brought in three of six targets for 19 yards in the Cowboys' 24-16 loss to the Buccaneers on Thursday night.
Ferguson was a distant second in targets to George Pickens' 13, but the veteran tight end failed to eclipse 25 receiving yards for the fourth time in the first five games. Ferguson's night -- and by extension, that of the Cowboys -- ended on a very sour note when he had a late fourth-quarter pass from Dak Prescott bounce off his hands and result in an Alex Anzalone interception that helped seal the victory for Tampa Bay. Ferguson has mustered a modest 15-102-3 line on 21 targets heading into a Week 6 road matchup against the Packers on Sunday night, Oct. 18.
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.
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.
Everyone sharing the ball with Jake, most valuable first.
Above the line the plan was to throw; below it, to run.
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.
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, 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.
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 in 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 in Week 2 against Washington.
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.
