Reasons TE Jake Ferguson Could Be a Sleeper

  • Maurile Tremblay: Being drafted as ~TE15 after a prior TE8 season, he should feast on seams opened by Pickens.
  • Jeff Haseley: Top 10 upside that you can draft later than that. A more productive offense helps Ferguson's usage and volume.
  • Craig Lakins: Zero touchdowns last season left a bad taste in everyone's mouth, but he's due for positive regression. He can easily beat his TE16 ADP as Dak Prescott's third option.
