Yahoo Sports NFL on Jake Ferguson
From the article
Ferguson is a clear TE1, all of the hype about other tight ends on the depth chart has faded from training camp until now. Within yet another offense where the Cowboys are loaded at wide receiver, it still feels like the real measure of how dangerous their pass offense can be is how consistently Ferguson is a factor here.
STACKED’s take
Ferguson is the clear TE1 and key to Cowboys' passing attack success vs. Giants.
Ferguson enters week one as a clear TE1 within the Cowboys offense; his involvement in the passing attack is positioned as the barometer for Dallas' success against the Giants. The source notes Ferguson had his second-highest volume of targets, receptions, and yards in last year's week two win against the Giants, with his career-high 13 catches on 14 targets coming the following week against the Bears defense. Ferguson's ability to get loose against the Giants secondary will depend on Cowboys tackle protection holding up, but if he is consistently involved, it signals an upright Prescott with plentiful targets—a formula that has historically dominated the Giants.
