Fantasy Impact

Ferguson suffered a knee injury in the season opener and was out in Week 2 because of it, but he carries no injury designation and will be able to make his return to the lineup in Week 3. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice, so fantasy managers should feel confident in his health heading into a tough matchup against the Ravens.

Fantasy Impact

Ferguson was able to take part in Dallas’ practice in a limited fashion on Thursday. That’s good to see after he missed Week 2’s game because of a knee injury, and it looks like he’s trending towards suiting up in Week 3. Fantasy managers should take note of what his official injury designation is heading into the weekend before making a decision to start or sit him.
