The Read: Ferguson is a functional Cowboys pass-game piece rather than a highlight-only tight end mirage. He wins by finding grass, staying friendly to Dak Prescott, and turning short-area volume into usable PPR mass. The ceiling is not built on freak-show vertical juice, but the weekly utility is real: contenders can treat him as a bankable TE1/TE2 bridge with touchdown leverage, while rebuilders should value him as a still-prime tight end whose role is sturdy enough to matter without pretending he is untouchable.
Dynasty UsePrime-age lineup stabilizerBest used by teams that need weekly tight end access without paying the apex-tier tax.
