2026 Outlook

Ferguson had a career-high 82 receptions in 2025 but suffered significant efficiency decline. Average depth of target dropped to career-low 4.7 yards downfield (vs. historical norms), and yards per reception fell to 7.3. Cowboys offense and Prescott recognize this as unrealized upside — getting Ferguson more consistent work on seam routes (his strength) could unlock Year 2 breakout in Schottenheimer's scheme. Prescott has proven elite accuracy on vertical throws over the seam, especially to tight ends; maximizing this connection is a stated priority for 2026 (per 5 ways the Cowboys' offense can improve in 2026).
