STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

TE2 without Lamb, TE18 with him; contingency play only.

Ferguson's production is heavily dependent on CeeDee Lamb's availability. In games without Lamb, Ferguson averaged 17.7 fantasy points per game and was TE2 in fantasy. In games with Lamb, he averaged 9.6 PPG and was TE18. This means you are essentially drafting Ferguson as a contingency play for potential injuries to Lamb or Dak Prescott, not for his standalone value.
