Jake Ferguson Faces Challenging Week 10 Matchup Against Philadelphia Eagles
Jake Ferguson, the tight end for the Dallas Cowboys, is gearing up for a challenging matchup in Week 10 of the NFL season. Ferguson, who has emerged as a reliable option for the Cowboys, will face the Philadelphia Eagles, a team with one of the top defenses against tight ends.
Ferguson has been a significant contributor to the Cowboys’ offense, with 334 receiving yards and a 15% target share, making him a top-10 tight end in terms of fantasy points per game. However, he has yet to score a touchdown and has only one end zone target this season.
The Eagles’ defense has been particularly stingy against tight ends, ranking 4th in fantasy points allowed to the position and not conceding a single receiving touchdown to a tight end all season. They also limit opponents to just 189 average passing yards per game, the seventh-best in the league.
Adding to the complexity, the Cowboys will be without their starting quarterback Dak Prescott, who is out with a hamstring injury. This means Ferguson will likely be working with backup quarterback Cooper Rush, which could further complicate his role and effectiveness in the game.
Despite the increased target share Ferguson might see as an outlet for Rush, fantasy managers are advised to approach this matchup with caution. Ferguson’s limited scoring opportunities and the Eagles’ strong defense make him a risky play for Week 10).
