Ferguson has been my go-to in summer mocks, as it allows me to wait until the later rounds to draft a tight end. Ferguson scored 11.1 fantasy PPG last season, plus he's going to see the ball in scoring position. Ferguson had 23 red zone targets last season (including 10 end zone targets), and he finished with eight TDs, catching six on throws inside the 10-yard line. It has been a pattern, as Ferguson has 51 red zone targets (and 22 end zone targets) over his past three seasons. With that type of touchdown/scoring upside in an explosive Dallas offense, Ferguson is a quality starter for fantasy lineups.

STACKED’s take

Ferguson's consistent red-zone volume and TD upside make him a quality TE starter.
