Jake Ferguson Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (concussion) put in a full week of practice and isn't listed on the final injury report. He'll be back for Monday night's game vs. the Bengals after missing the last two weeks. Ferguson has averaged 7.4 targets across his seven full games this season and is a volume-based, low-end TE1 play in Week 14 fantasy lineups.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. He's on track to return for Monday night's game vs. the Bengals. Ferguson has averaged 7.4 targets across his seven full games this season and is a viable low-end TE1 play in Week 14 fantasy lineups.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (concussion) is out for Thursday's game vs. the Giants. He had no chance to clear concussion protocol in just four days but should be back for Week 14. His absence again leaves TE duties to Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford. Schoonmaker delivered a 3-55-1 line in last week's win over the Commanders, but he saw only four targets on a 59% route rate. He's in play in Thanksgiving DFS contests but would be a shaky start in season-long leagues.

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said Monday that TE Jake Ferguson (concussion) is "a little more of a long shot" for Thursday's game vs. the Giants. Ferguson didn't practice at all last week, so he still has multiple stages of the protocol to clear. His absence would again leave TE duties to Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford. Schoonmaker delivered a 3-55-1 line in Week 12, but he saw only four targets on a 59% route rate. He'd be a shaky play in season-long leagues this week, with no teams on bye.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Commanders. That leaves Luke Schoonmaker as Dallas’ likely lead TE. He tallied 6 catches for 43 yards when Ferguson missed Week 2 and caught 6 of 10 targets last week after Ferguson exited in the first quarter. You could do worse if you’re desperate at TE this week.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. With just six days to clear protocol, he's a long shot to play vs. the Commanders this weekend. That'll leave TE duties to Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford. Schoonmaker racked up six catches on 10 targets in the Week 11 loss to Houston but ran just four more routes than Spann-Ford. We'd try to avoid the situation in Week 12 fantasy lineups.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson left Monday night's game against the Texans in the first quarter and has entered the concussion protocol. It's the second diagnosed concussion of Ferguson's NFL career. The last came in December of 2022. We'll see how he fares with a shorter turnaround to next Sunday's game at Washington. You should start the week planning to not have Ferguson in Week 12.

The Cowboys are placing QB Dak Prescott on IR with his hamstring injury, EVP Stephen Jones said Friday. That knocks Prescott out for at least the next four games. But the Fort Worth Star-Telegram hears that "the expected timeline is expected to trend closer to six weeks or more." The earliest Prescott could return is Week 14. A 6-week absence would have him out until Week 16. Dallas' season could be over for all intents and purposes at that point. Prescott is very droppable in 1-QB leagues without an IR spot.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Eagles. The team is still deciding whether Prescott will go on IR, which would cost him at least four games. QB Cooper Rush will make his first start this weekend since 2022. He owns a career 60.0% completion rate and 6.5 yards per attempt. While not the worst backup in the world, Rush is obviously a significant downgrade from Prescott for Dallas’ offense.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is expected to miss "multiple weeks" with the hamstring injury he suffered in Sunday's loss at Atlanta, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

TE Jake Ferguson ranked second among Cowboys in targets (8) and receptions (6) in Sunday night's loss to the 49ers. He turned those catches into just 23 yards, though, averaging a mere 3.8 per reception. Blame a season-low 1.4-yard average depth of target as the primary culprit, according to Pro Football Reference. Ferguson averaged minus-1.3 yards before catch per reception for the game.

Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks will miss Sunday night's game vs. the Steelers and might be out beyond that due to a knee infection, ESPN's Todd Archer reports. Cooks had a procedure on the knee after the Week 4 win over the Giants and subsequently developed an infection.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (knee) is not listed on the final Week 3 injury report. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so it looks like he’ll be ready for a full slate of snaps against the Ravens on Sunday. Ferguson is a top-10 TE play in that potential shootout.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (knee) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. We're tentatively projecting him to play vs. the Ravens this weekend, but we'll keep you updated on his status over the next few days.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Saints. He missed practice all week and never seemed to have much of a chance to play in this one. We’ll see if Ferguson can make it back for Week 3. TEs Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford split work after Ferguson exited the opener. Neither is a viable Week 2 fantasy play.
