If Ferguson Misses Time
Next man up: Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford is next on the Cowboys depth chart at tight end. Tight end targets would mostly move to the receivers, so he's a streaming option at best if Ferguson misses time.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Dak Prescott would lose one of his main options.
