Currently going at 117 overall. I'm at 134 overall. Four games, literally just four games with more than 50 receiving yards last year. He had an average depth of target of under five yards.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Ferguson is a fade due to low aDOT and increased target competition.

Matthew Berry is lower on Jake Ferguson than the market, ranking him 134 overall compared to his 117 ADP. Berry cites Ferguson's low average depth of target (under 5 yards), lack of high target share, and increased competition from George Pickens and Ryan Flornay as reasons to fade him.
