Blogging The Boys on Jake Ferguson
From the article
Jake Ferguson keeps landing on this list for all the wrong reasons. Ferguson's performance against Tampa Bay was the kind that can change how a team evaluates a player's role. The tight end finished with three catches for 19 yards on six targets, and two of his drops included the night's most damaging play: a late-game mistake that turned a potential comeback drive into a game-sealing interception.
STACKED’s take
Ferguson's game-sealing drop and blocking issues make him a liability despite starting role.
Sell recommendation: Ferguson's performance against Tampa Bay was the kind that can change how a team evaluates a player's role. He finished with 3 catches for 19 yards on 6 targets, with two of his drops including the night's most damaging play: a late-game mistake that turned a potential comeback drive into a game-sealing interception. He also dropped a pass during Dallas' two-minute drive before halftime, costing the offense an opportunity. Beyond drops, a growing supply of film shows how much of a liability he has become in the blocking game. Through five games, Ferguson has not eclipsed 43 receiving yards in any game and has not provided the consistent production Dallas needs from a starting tight end. His value is not measured only by catches and yards; he also needs to be a dependable target in the middle of the field and help convert important downs. After another costly performance, Ferguson has to prove he can regain the trust Prescott and the offense need from him.
