Ferguson caught 10 of 12 targets for 93 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 48-32 wild-card loss to the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
The second-year tight end was Dak Prescott's top option in the red zone, catching a one-yard score on the final play of the first half before adding two more TDs of seven and 14 yards in the fourth quarter as the Cowboys tried desperately to mount a comeback. Ferguson's huge playoff performance came on the heels of a breakout regular season in which he caught 71 of 102 targets for 761 yards and five touchdowns, finishing ninth among TEs in receptions and eighth in receiving yards. Assuming Prescott returns to Dallas in 2024, Ferguson figures to be one of his top targets once again.

Ferguson caught all six of his targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Commanders.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Washington's defense put up little resistance to the Dallas passing attack, and Ferguson tied Brandin Cooks for second on the team in catches behind CeeDee Lamb's 13. Ferguson wraps up a breakout regular season with 71 catches for 761 yards -- both top-10 figures in the NFL among tight ends -- and five TDs on 102 targets, and he figures to be one of Dak Prescott's favorite options in the wild-card round Sunday as the Cowboys take on the Packers.

Ferguson recorded four receptions on six targets for 33 yards in Saturday's 20-19 win over the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson entered the game having seen eight targets in four consecutive games, but he was overshadowed by Brandin Cooks as the secondary producer in Dallas's offense in Saturday's win. The end result was Ferguson's lowest yardage total since Week 12. Positively, he still has at least four catches in five consecutive games.

Ferguson totaled four catches (on eight targets) for 45 yards during Sunday's 22-20 defeat in Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Since the Cowboys' Week 7 bye, Ferguson has recorded at least four receptions in seven of the last nine games, a stretch in which he put together a 40-469-4 line on 61 targets. That equates to a respectable 11.7 YPC and 7.7 YPT, but he fell short of both marks Sunday. Ferguson will have a chance to bounce back this coming Saturday against a Lions defense that has conceded the 11th-most receiving yards (790) and fifth-most touchdowns (six) to opposing tight ends in 15 contests on the campaign.

Ferguson recorded six receptions on eight targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson was one of the few Cowboys skill-position players to post a fairly typical stat line in the blowout loss, though his path to that production was atypical. He failed to record a reception until the first possession of the third quarter and accounted for three catches and 23 yards during a garbage-time touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter. Nevertheless, Ferguson has at least five receptions and eight targets in three consecutive games, giving him a very consistent role in what is typically one of the more potent offenses in the league.

Ferguson finished with five receptions on eight targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson finished as the Cowboys' leading receiver against a normally stout Philadelphia defense Sunday, bringing his season receiving line up to 51/570/5 through 13 games. The 24-year-old has developed a strong rapport with Dak Prescott as a trusted option in drive-extending moments. The eight targets ties the tight end's highest total since these two division rivals met back in Week 9. Ferguson will look to continue his solid fantasy season against the Bills next Sunday.

Ferguson secured six of eight targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 41-35 win over the Seahawks on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
The talented tight end finished second in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night for the Cowboys, and his 12-yard scoring grab with 4:37 remaining put Dallas ahead for good in the see-saw affair. Ferguson's productive night snapped a three-game stretch of lackluster numbers, one in which the second-year pro had failed to eclipse four catches and 35 yards in any on game. Ferguson's touchdown grab also snapped a two-game drought in that department, and he'll look to put together a successful encore in a Week 14 Sunday night battle versus an Eagles team he posted a season-best 7-91-1 line against on back in Week 9.

Ferguson caught one of three targets for 35 yards in a 45-10 rout of the Commanders on Thanksgiving.
EDGE Analysis
His big gain opened the Cowboys' first scoring drive of the afternoon and seemed to signal a productive game was coming for Ferguson, but Dak Prescott wound up spreading the ball around and connecting with 10 different receivers in total. Ferguson's three targets were his lowest volume since the team's Week 7 bye, and he's posted a 19-231-3 line on 29 targets during that five-game stretch as he solidifies his chemistry with Prescott. The tight end might have trouble getting into the end zone again in Week 13 against a Seahawks defense that's given up only one touchdown to a TE all season.

Ferguson caught three of five targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 33-10 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson saw fellow tight end Luke Schoonmaker open the scoring with an 18-yard touchdown during the first quarter. Without a score himself, Ferguson snapped a three-game touchdown streak. The promising second-year pass catcher will now face a quick turnaround ahead of Thursday's Week 12 clash with the Commanders.

Ferguson caught four of seven targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 49-17 rout of the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
The second-year tight end has gotten into the end zone in three straight games, and Ferguson kept his streak going Sunday with a one-yard grab in the second quarter that was the first of Dak Prescott's four TD passes on the day. Ferguson's yardage has been erratic from week to week, but he's seen at least seven targets in five of nine games this season and has earned Prescott's trust heading into a Week 11 contest against the Panthers.
