Jake Ferguson is expected to make a big leap in production for the Dallas Cowboys in his second season in Dallas. It remains to be seen if he can become a nice security blanket for Dak Prescott this season.

The Giants defense ranked in the bottom 10 of the NFL last season in both receptions (T-24th) and receiving yards (23rd) by opposing tight ends.
Ferguson Best Bet
From what has been written, all signals point to Ferguson making that leap from backup tight end last season to being a productive member of the Cowboys’ passing attack. And he already showed in 2022 just how productive he can be in those all-important divisional games.
Ferguson’s top three games in terms of receiving yards all came vs. NFC East opponents, including his season (and career) high of 57 yards against the Giants in Week 12. Now, touchdowns were scarce for Ferguson last season — he had just two — but I’m expecting a significant increase for this season.

Of Prescott’s 15 interceptions last season, only one came in the red zone. This, combined with Ferguson’s increased snaps on the field this season, is a nice recipe for the former fourth-round pick to start this season with a score at some point.
