BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1
ANALYSIS: If you have Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson in fantasy, you are starting him in Week 5 against the Steelers. Ferguson has caught at least six passes in back-to-back games while seeing 18 targets over the past two weeks. In those two contests, he finished as the TE3 (Week 3) and TE7 (Week 4) in PPR formats.
Dallas Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson has been targeted 18 times over the team's last two games.
This is the highest amount of targets that Ferguson has ever had over any two-game stretch of his career.

Some fantasy managers might stay away from Ferguson this week because of the matchup against Pittsburgh's secondary. The Steelers have allowed the fifth-fewest receiving yards (95) and eighth-fewest catches (13) to tight ends this season.
However, you aren't sitting the Cowboys tight end because of the matchup. He has been one of the stronger options at the position this season and should continue to see plenty of targets on Sunday, especially with Brandin Cooks (knee) out. So, fantasy managers should definitely keep him in their lineups for Week 5.
