Should You Start or Sit Jake Ferguson in Week 6?

From PFN Analyst Kyle Soppe
Ferguson has caught at least six passes in all three games since his return to action, landing him as a top-eight PPR tight end in each of those contests.

My pitch on Ferguson this preseason was that he was a good bet as the No. 2 option in a high-volume passing attack, and that remains that leg to stand on. I still think that’s more likely than not to be the case, but Week 5 showed us that it may not need to be the case in order for Ferguson to be considered a Tier 1 tight end.

Tolbert had a great game against the Steelers (7-87-1 on 10 targets), and yet, Dallas’ tight end got home thanks to his stable and efficient role.

I’d wager that Ferguson’s target share moving forward is higher than the 17.1% we saw on Sunday night, making these 5-8 catch weeks a reasonable expectation — something that simply doesn’t exist at this position across the NFL.
