Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
4,078
Range 3,549–4,181
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection In-season usage moved the score inside this range.
Proven TE in his prime — production and runway both hold.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Player quality
Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Durability ×0.98
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Process ×0.99
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Org environment ×1.02
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
WatchFerguson caught 17 passes for 115 yards in 2026, ranking TE22 through 6 games. From TE8 to TE22 through 6 games is a dip in pace, not a locked finish. The 2026 projection is modest — the role has to hold. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
