JAKE FERGUSON NEWS

No practice Wednesday Ferguson (concussion) didn't take part in Wednesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact This comes as no surprise following the concussion that Ferguson sustained early on during Monday's defeat to the Texans. Coach Mike McCarthy relayed to Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News on Tuesday that Ferguson would be "hard-pressed" to play Sunday in Washington, but any progress he's able to display Thursday or Friday may give a better sense of when he'll be available to the Cowboys offense again.

Impact Ferguson entered concussion protocol after sustaining the head injury in the first half of Monday's 34-10 loss to the Texans. While the Cowboys aren't yet closing the door on Ferguson clearing the five-step protocol prior to Sunday, he won't be helped by Dallas facing a shorter week of prep time than usual due to the Monday night game. If Ferguson ends up being ruled out for Week 12, Luke Schoonmaker would likely step in as Dallas' starting tight end after playing 43 snaps and finishing with six catches for 56 yards on 10 targets in relief of Ferguson in the loss to Houston.

Done for Week 11 due to concussion Ferguson has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against Houston due to a concussion, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact Ferguson was hurt in the first quarter and subsequently entered concussion protocol. The Cowboys have since ruled their No. 1 tight end out for the remainder of the contest. Ferguson finishes Monday's contest with one catch on one target for 11 yards. Luke Schoonmaker will likely take on the majority of Dallas' tight-end snaps in Ferguson's stead.

Upgrades to full practice Ferguson (illness) was a full practice participant Friday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ferguson will be fine for Monday's matchup with Houston, having missed just one practice due to an illness. The real concern for fantasy is QB play, after Cooper Rush threw for 45 yards last week in his first start of the season.

Comes down with illness Ferguson didn't practice Thursday due to an illness, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Ferguson has caught multiple passes in all eight appearances this season en route to a 42-358-0 line on 57 targets. With Dak Prescott (hamstring) out for the season, Ferguson now is on the receiving end of passes from Cooper Rush, but first the tight end will need to get past his current ailment in order to make himself available Monday against the Texans.

Fumble negates mild production Ferguson caught four of five targets for 24 yards while losing a fumble in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Eagles.

Impact Ferguson led the Cowboys in receiving yardage in a game where the offense mustered just 66 passing yards. The tight end's mild output was virtually negated when he coughed up one of Dallas' four lost fumbles Sunday. Ferguson was an average fantasy option when Dak Prescott (hamstring) was under center, but with the latter possibly done for the season, it is safe to downgrade the Cowboys' position players if Cooper Rush continues to start against the Texans next Monday.

Leading receiver in loss Ferguson caught seven of 10 targets for 71 yards in Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Falcons.

Impact CeeDee Lamb led the Cowboys in catches (eight) and targets (12), but Ferguson paced the team in receiving yards in his best performance since he racked up a 6-95-0 line on 11 targets in Week 3. The third-year tight end recorded two of his receptions with Cooper Rush under center in the fourth quarter after Dak Prescott (hamstring) left the game, and if Rush gets the start in Week 10 against the Eagles, Ferguson could see big volume again.

Does little with eight targets Ferguson caught six of eight targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the 49ers.

Impact Ferguson didn't get in on the scoring fun that the tight end position enjoyed on national tight ends day in the NFL. Instead, Ferguson had multiple defenders swarming to him on each of his six short catches, none of which went for more than 10 yards. He has at least six catches in four of his last five games, so Ferguson figures to see substantial volume again in Week 9 against the Falcons.

Limited to 11 yards Ferguson recorded three receptions on four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 47-9 loss to the Lions.

Impact Even with the Cowboys forced to take to the air in negative game script, Ferguson was surprisingly uninvolved in the offense. He finished sixth in targets and fifth in receptions on the team, and his longest gain went for just six yards. While it was a down performance, Ferguson should come out of Dallas' bye week as a continued priority in the offense.

Goes for 70 yards in win Ferguson corralled six of seven targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Steelers.

Impact Ferguson continued his recent string of strong play Sunday, bringing his recent three-game average up to 6.3 receptions and 71.3 yards. The Wisconsin product has yet to hit pay dirt this season after scoring five times in 2023, but he remains an integral part of Dallas' passing attack. Ferguson remains a startable option in all formats heading into a Week 6 tilt against the Lions next Sunday.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Seven catches in win Ferguson secured all seven targets for 49 yards in the Cowboys' 20-15 win over the Giants on Thursday night. He also committed a fumble recovered by Dallas.

Impact Ferguson tied CeeDee Lamb for the team lead in receptions while checking in second to his teammate in both receiving yards and targets. The third-year tight end generated a combined 13-144 line on 18 targets over Weeks 3 and 4, further cementing that he's essentially developed into the team's No. 2 pass catcher behind Lamb, at least for the moment. Ferguson should be poised for another busy day when the Cowboys travel to take on the vaunted Steelers defense on Sunday, Oct. 6, a game in which the tight end's prowess in the short and intermediate passing windows might be especially relevant given the limited time Dak Prescott may often have.

Big performance in return Ferguson recorded six receptions on 11 targets for 95 yards in Sunday's 28-25 loss to Baltimore.

Impact Ferguson returned from a one-game absence caused by a knee injury and immediately led the team in targets, receptions and yards. The majority of his production came in the final 16 minutes of game time as the Cowboys took to the air, highlighted by gains of 17 and 26 yards late in the third quarter. This was a unique game script, but Ferguson should remain a key figure in Dallas' offense and often command the second-most targets behind CeeDee Lamb.

Removed from injury report Ferguson (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Ferguson was a full practice participant Friday, upgrading from limited the previous two days. He missed only one game after suffering an MCL sprain Week 1, giving QB Dak Prescott his full complement of pass catchers with WR CeeDee Lamb (ankle) also avoiding a Week 3 injury designation. Ferguson profiles as a mid-to-low-range fantasy starter at the production-lacking TE position even with some added risk of an in-game injury/setback.

Remains limited Thursday Ferguson (knee) practiced in a limited fashion, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ferguson has cobbled together back-to-back capped sessions to begin Week 3 prep as he seeks to miss just one game due to the MCL sprain and bone bruise that he sustained in his left knee in the Cowboys' season-opening win at Cleveland. Friday's injury report will unveil whether he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest against the Ravens.
