Jake Ferguson 2023 NFL Player Outlook: Looking to Step Up In Cowboys' Offense
1 year agoDallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson will enter his second season after being drafted in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He was stuck behind Dalton Schultz on the depth chart in his rookie year and finished the season with 19 catches for 174 yards and two touchdowns. But with Schultz's departure this offseason, Ferguson has the chance to be the team's starting tight end in Week 1. Ferguson's best game of his rookie campaign came when he stepped in for the injured Schultz. He had four catches for 40 yards and one touchdown against the Eagles in Week 6. Despite the Cowboys adding Luke Schoonmaker in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, Pro Football Focus listed the second-year tight end as the Cowboys' top breakout candidate entering the season. If Ferguson winds up as the TE1 in Dallas, he should be in store for a solid season in a high-powered offense. He's worth a late-round flier in 10-plus team leagues as a backup tight end option. He's ranked as TE20 and 161st overall in the latest RotoBaller rankings.
