Range 3,6164,264

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

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

Buy low

Ferguson caught 82 passes for 600 yards in 2025, finishing TE8. He scored about 8% less than his touches said he should. The arc is recovery: TE8, then TE30, now TE8. The 2026 projection is modest — the role has to hold. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
