Ferguson led all tight ends in receptions and was second in targets from Weeks 3 through 6 while Lamb was nursing a high-ankle sprain. He was on fire as the highest fantasy points per game scorer, averaging 18.6. As soon as Week 7 came, Ferguson crashed. He fell to TE17 in points per game, averaging only 8.1 fantasy points.

Ferguson's TE5 finish masks target volatility; expect TE3 range as Lamb's health stabilizes.

Ferguson is projected to fall to TE3 territory despite finishing as TE5 in PPR last season. The source attributes this to target volatility tied to CeeDee Lamb's health: Ferguson led all tight ends in receptions and was second in targets from Weeks 3–6 while Lamb was injured, averaging 18.6 fantasy points per game, but crashed to TE17 in points per game (8.1 average) from Week 7 onward when Lamb returned. With Lamb, George Pickens, Javonte Williams, and Ferguson competing for targets in a crowded Cowboys offense, Ferguson is expected to disappoint relative to his TE5 finish.
