Ferguson (illness) was a full practice participant Friday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson will be fine for Monday's matchup with Houston, having missed just one practice due to an illness. The real concern for fantasy is QB play, after Cooper Rush threw for 45 yards last week in his first start of the season.

Ferguson didn't practice Thursday due to an illness, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson has caught multiple passes in all eight appearances this season en route to a 42-358-0 line on 57 targets. With Dak Prescott (hamstring) out for the season, Ferguson now is on the receiving end of passes from Cooper Rush, but first the tight end will need to get past his current ailment in order to make himself available Monday against the Texans.

Ferguson caught four of five targets for 24 yards while losing a fumble in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson led the Cowboys in receiving yardage in a game where the offense mustered just 66 passing yards. The tight end's mild output was virtually negated when he coughed up one of Dallas' four lost fumbles Sunday. Ferguson was an average fantasy option when Dak Prescott (hamstring) was under center, but with the latter possibly done for the season, it is safe to downgrade the Cowboys' position players if Cooper Rush continues to start against the Texans next Monday.

Ferguson caught seven of 10 targets for 71 yards in Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
CeeDee Lamb led the Cowboys in catches (eight) and targets (12), but Ferguson paced the team in receiving yards in his best performance since he racked up a 6-95-0 line on 11 targets in Week 3. The third-year tight end recorded two of his receptions with Cooper Rush under center in the fourth quarter after Dak Prescott (hamstring) left the game, and if Rush gets the start in Week 10 against the Eagles, Ferguson could see big volume again.

Ferguson caught six of eight targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson didn't get in on the scoring fun that the tight end position enjoyed on National Tight Ends Day in the NFL. Instead, Ferguson had multiple defenders swarming to him on each of his six short catches, none of which went for more than 10 yards. He has at least six catches in four of his last five games, so Ferguson figures to see substantial volume again in Week 9 against the Falcons.

Ferguson recorded three receptions on four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 47-9 loss to the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
Even with the Cowboys forced to take to the air in negative game script, Ferguson was surprisingly uninvolved in the offense. He finished sixth in targets and fifth in receptions on the team, and his longest gain went for just six yards. While it was a down performance, Ferguson should come out of Dallas' bye week as a continued priority in the offense.

Ferguson corralled six of seven targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson continued his recent string of strong play Sunday, bringing his three-game average up to 6.3 receptions and 71.3 yards. The Wisconsin product has yet to hit paydirt this season after scoring five times in 2023, but he remains an integral part of Dallas' passing attack. Ferguson remains a startable option in all fantasy formats heading into a Week 6 tilt against the Lions next Sunday.

Ferguson secured all seven targets for 49 yards in the Cowboys' 20-15 win over the Giants on Thursday night. He also committed a fumble recovered by Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson tied CeeDee Lamb for the team lead in receptions while checking in second to his teammate in both receiving yards and targets. The third-year tight end generated a combined 13-144-0 line on 18 targets over Weeks 3 and 4, further cementing that he's essentially developed into the team's No. 2 pass catcher behind Lamb, at least for the moment. Ferguson should be poised for another busy day when the Cowboys travel to take on the vaunted Steelers defense on Sunday, Oct. 6, a game in which the tight end's prowess in the short and intermediate passing windows might be especially relevant given the limited time Dak Prescott may often have.

Ferguson recorded six receptions on 11 targets for 95 yards in Sunday's 28-25 loss to Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson returned from a one-game absence caused by a knee injury and immediately led the team in targets, receptions and yards. The majority of his production came in the final 16 minutes of game time as the Cowboys took to the air, highlighted by gains of 17 and 26 yards late in the third quarter. This was a unique game script, but Ferguson should remain a key figure in Dallas' offense and often command the second-most targets behind CeeDee Lamb.

Ferguson (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson was a full practice participant Friday, upgrading from limited the previous two days. He missed only one game after suffering an MCL sprain Week 1, giving QB Dak Prescott his full complement of pass catchers with WR CeeDee Lamb (ankle) also avoiding a Week 3 injury designation. Ferguson profiles as a mid-to-low-range fantasy starter at the production-lacking TE position even with some added risk of an in-game injury/setback.
