Jake Ferguson Week 6 Outlook - Lions at Cowboys

By Mick Ciallela (Fantrax), Thu, Oct 10th 2024, 11:12am EDT

The injury to Brandin Cooks has solidified Jake Ferguson as the Cowboys' second receiving target behind CeeDee Lamb. Truth be told, Ferguson was probably already number two anyway. Since returning from his knee injury scare, Ferguson has been a top-10 fantasy tight end in three straight games. He has done so even without scoring a touchdown in any of the three games. In that span, Ferguson has caught 19 of 25 targets for 214 yards. Dallas faces the Detroit Lions this week. The Lions are a relatively tough matchup for tight ends. But Ferguson's volume should be secure in what could be a shootout scenario. That makes him a must-start in all formats, but especially those with PPR components.
