Ferguson opened the 2025 season on a tear, averaging eight receptions across the first five games. That production faded sharply afterward, and he never regained the same rhythm. Don't expect a return to those early numbers. The Cowboys' offense simply has too many high-priority targets for Ferguson to command a consistent share.

Ferguson's early-season pace unsustainable; crowded target tree limits reception upside.

Ferguson opened 2025 averaging eight receptions across the first five games but production faded sharply afterward and never regained rhythm. The Cowboys' offense has too many high-priority targets for Ferguson to command consistent share; CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens headline the receiving corps, while Ryan Flournoy is poised for expanded role and Brevyn Spann-Ford is earning more snaps as a blocker and could see additional targets in two-tight-end packages. Ferguson is unlikely to approach his career-high reception total from last season. He also posted his lowest yards-after-catch figure despite relatively strong average depth of target, indicating limited explosiveness after the catch. Limited opportunity and diminished playmaking after the catch make Ferguson a candidate for disappointment in Dallas.
