Jake Ferguson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (knee) was seen at practice today and participated in a limited capacity. This is a great sign for the 25-year-old who missed last week's game due to an MCL sprain. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Ferguson's status heading into the weekend, but this is a promising sign that the Wisconsin product could return to the field on Sunday. In the season opener, Ferguson caught only three of his five targets for a mere 15 yards. However, he was a focal point of the Dallas offense last season and should be started in all standard leagues if he suits up. If Ferguson misses Sunday's game, Luke Schoonmaker will once again slot in as the No.1 tight end in Dallas and could be a solid TE2 given the six targets he saw in Week 2.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (knee) is back at practice on Wednesday following his Week 2 absence against the New Orleans Saints due to a knee injury. The third-year pro suffered the injury in Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns and did not practice at all last week. Backup tight end Luke Schoonmaker impressed in his spot-start, catching all six of his targets for 43 yards. However, Ferguson should regain his status as the lead tight end when he's back in action, which could be this Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to tight ends so far this season, so Ferguson will have clear TE1 upside if he's active.

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan on Monday that tight end Jake Ferguson (knee) was "real close" to playing in the Week 2 blowout loss to the New Orleans Saints. "The expectation is for him to be back" in Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens. Ferguson suffered an MCL sprain and a bone bruise in his left knee in the Week 1 win over the Cleveland Browns but was not cleared to play against the Saints. The 25-year-old should be considered day-to-day heading into this week, and we should have a better idea of his availability for this weekend when the Cowboys start practicing later this week. Luke Schoonmaker caught all six of his targets for 43 yards in the 44-19 drubbing by the Saints, but he's probably not worth much attention on the waiver wire with Ferguson having a shot to return soon. When healthy, Ferguson is on the TE1 radar in fantasy.
