News: 3 days agoFerguson (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Washington, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Spin: Ferguson hasn't practiced since entering concussion protocol in the first quarter of Monday's loss to Houston. His absence for most of the night left more opportunities for both Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford, with Schoonmaker catching six of 10 targets for 56 yards on 53 percent snap share while Spann-Ford caught four of five targets for 32 yards on 49 percent of snaps. Ferguson's next chance to play will be a Thanksgiving home game against the Giants on Nov. 28.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Ferguson broke out in his second NFL season, ranking ninth among tight ends in receptions and eighth in receiving yards. Only six tight ends caught more than his five touchdowns, and Ferguson closed well with a three-TD outing in the team's wild card playoff loss to the Packers. He benefited from the offseason departure of Dalton Schultz to Houston, then he outproduced Schultz. Cowboys QB Dak Prescott throws a ton of passes, and he looks Ferguson's way quite a bit at the goal line. This is a top-10 fantasy tight end, with upside for the top five.
