Jake Ferguson is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for tight ends. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 4 of the 2023 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 41% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Jake Fergusonis not making Cowboys fans and fantasy managers forget about the days of Jason Witten, but he somehow received as many targets as CeeDee Lamb against Arizona. You could blame that on bad play-calling or great defense.
No other player in the NFL has more Redzone targets than Jake Ferguson (8)
He may still be out there on the wire in some leagues. (41%) Rostership as per Yahoo.
A healthy 18% target share should be a crime living on the wire.

Whatever the case, Ferguson has 18 targets in three games, which is more than a lot of tight ends out there on waiver wires. He might end up as Dak Prescott’s favorite target inside the red zone before the season’s end.
