Jake Ferguson Week 1 Outlook - Cowboys at Browns

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Wed, Sep 4th 2024, 8:38pm EDT

Ferguson finished last season as the TE10 in fantasy points per game. He was 17th in yards per route run and 15th in first downs per route run despite ranking tenth in receiving yards per game. Ferguson should swallow up target volume this season and finish again as a low-end TE1. This is a game where you should consider streaming options over him, though. Cleveland was a shutdown defense to tight ends last year. They allowed the second-fewest fantasy points per game, the second-lowest yards per reception, and the fewest receiving yards to the position. Ferguson likely needs a touchdown this week to make you feel good about starting him.
