Should You Start or Sit Ferguson in Week 12?
Jake Ferguson snapped a two-game (three week) scoring slump that felt like an eternity to his fantasy managers that had come to expect a touchdown a week (six scores in the four weeks prior).
The yardage totals since CeeDee Lamb returned haven’t been there (no more than 50 yards in seven straight), but that’s more of a yards per catch issue. He caught four balls in Monday night’s easy win over the Raiders, the eighth time he’s reached that mark this season as he plays a PPR-friendly role in this potent offense that comes with plenty of scoring equity.
He may not be a Tier 1 tight end like he was early in the season, but that’s more of a “Trey McBride is on another planet” thing. Once you get past Arizona’s star, Ferguson remains as valuable as any TE on the board, and I don’t think that changes, even in a tough spot against the Eagles (5-23-0 line in Week 1 in Philadelphia).
