• Cowboys' Luke Schoonmaker: Catches one pass

  Rotowire Sep 14, 2026

  Schoonmaker finished with one catch for 12 yards in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Giants. The tight end played on 13 of 58 offensive snaps and 10 more on special teams. Schoonmaker, now in his fourth NFL season, has 50 career catches in the regular season.

• Cowboys' Luke Schoonmaker: Disappointing season in 2025

  Rotowire Jan 26, 2026

  Schoonmaker caught 14 of 23 targets for 132 yards and zero touchdowns over 17 games for the Cowboys in 2025. The 2023 second-round pick has yet to miss a game in the NFL career, but Schoonmaker has done little else of note. His receiving numbers took a tumble from the 27-241-1 line he posted in 2024, and undrafted second-year player Brevyn Spann-Ford has moved past him on the depth chart due to his superior run blocking, although neither player is a threat to starting TE Jake Ferguson. Schoonmaker has one more year left on his rookie contract, but he hasn't done much to secure a spot in the Cowboys' long-term plans.

• Cowboys' Luke Schoonmaker: No targets in Week 11 win

  Rotowire Nov 19, 2025

  Schoonmaker went without a target while playing 30 of the Cowboys' 67 snaps on offense in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders. Schoonmaker ran routes on just six of his 30 snaps and was one of the few Dallas pass catchers to go without a look on a night in which quarterback Dak Prescott targeted nine different players. So as long as top tight end Jake Ferguson is available, Schoonmaker looks like he'll mostly be limited to a tertiary role in the passing game while serving as a blocker more often than not when he's on the field.

• Cowboys' Luke Schoonmaker: Season-high three targets Sunday

  Rotowire Oct 27, 2025

  Schoonmaker caught two of his three targets for 25 yards in Sunday's loss to the Broncos. The Cowboys curiously went away from Jake Ferguson in the contest as a receiving option, and as a result Schoonmaker saw a season-high three targets while also reaching double-digit receiving yards for the first time in 2025. The production wasn't much, but it's at least a positive sign for the third-year tight end. If Ferguson's disappearance from the game plan proves to be more than just a one-week trend, Schoonmaker could benefit.

• Cowboys' Luke Schoonmaker: No targets in Week 7 win

  Rotowire Oct 21, 2025

  Schoonmaker went without a target while playing 22 of the Cowboys' 67 offensive snaps in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Commanders. Though quarterback Dak Prescott spread the ball around to eight different pass catchers in Sunday's romp, Schoonmaker didn't get in on the act. The third-year tight end had drawn at least one target in each of Dallas' first six games, accruing a 5-24-0 receiving line over that stretch.

• Cowboys' Luke Schoonmaker: Shut out as receiver Sunday

  Rotowire Sep 15, 2025

  Schoonmaker failed to catch two targets in Sunday's 40-37 overtime win over the Giants. The 2023 second-round pick is still looking for his first catch of the season, whiffing on all three of his targets while Jake Ferguson dominates the receiving opportunities at tight end for Dallas. Even Schoonmaker's hold on the No. 2 spot on the depth chart could be slipping, as Brevyn Spann-Ford is proving to be a better blocker and caught his only target Sunday, albeit for just three yards.

• Cowboys' Luke Schoonmaker: Just one target Thursday

  Rotowire Sep 5, 2025

  Schoonmaker failed to catch his only target in Thursday's 24-20 loss to the Eagles. The third-year tight end had a limited role, as expected, while working behind starter Jake Ferguson. Schoonmaker's hold on the No. 2 spot on the depth chart may not be secure, either, despite his standing as a 2023 second-round pick -- he played 15 snaps on offense to Brevyn Spann-Ford's 10, and the latter made a more noticeable impact with his blocking.

• Cowboys' Luke Schoonmaker: In concussion protocol

  Rotowire Aug 20, 2025

  Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Wednesday that Schoonmaker is in the concussion protocol, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Schoonmaker departed Tuesday's practice early and is now in the concussion protocol, meaning he'll need to gain full clearance before suiting up for a game. That effectively rules the No. 2 tight end out for Friday's preseason finale against the Falcons, though he'll have just over two weeks to return to full health before Week 1 against the Eagles on Thursday, Sept. 4. Likely No. 3 tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford (ankle) hasn't practiced since late July, so for the time being John Stephens and Princeton Fant figure to benefit from increased reps behind Jake Ferguson as they each compete to make Dallas' initial 53-man roster.

• Cowboys' Luke Schoonmaker: Two grabs despite Ferguson's return

  Rotowire Dec 10, 2024

  Schoonmaker brought in both targets for 22 yards in the Cowboys' 27-20 loss to the Bengals on Monday night. Schoonmaker encouragingly remained involved to an extent even with fellow tight end Jake Ferguson making his return from a two-game absence due to a concussion. Schoonmaker had seen 20 total targets over the previous three games, and although his participation will likely continue to be modest now that Ferguson is healthy, it appears the former has earned a more active role than he previously enjoyed due to his solid play in recent weeks.

• Cowboys' Luke Schoonmaker: Held to 33 yards

  Rotowire Nov 28, 2024

  Schoonmaker recorded five receptions on six targets for 33 yards in Thursday's 27-20 win over the Giants. Schoonmaker looked to be in for a massive game in the absence of Jake Ferguson (concussion), as he caught all five of his passes within Dallas' first two offensive possessions. However, the Cowboys were able to play from ahead for most of the contest, limiting the passing volume of Cooper Rush. Ferguson has 11 days to progress through concussion protocol, but Schoonmaker has the chance to remain a decent streaming option heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Bengals.

• Cowboys' Luke Schoonmaker: TEs to Sit

  Rotowire Nov 28, 2024

  Schoonmaker has done well filling in for Jake Ferguson (concussion) the past two weeks, and Ferguson is out again on Thanksgiving Day. But I don't like the matchup for Schoonmaker against the Giants, who are No. 2 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. Ja'Tavion Sanders in Week 10 is the lone tight end to score a touchdown against the Giants, and they held Cade Otton to one catch for 30 yards on three targets in Week 12. Schoonmaker has scored at least 11.6 PPR points in his past two games against Houston and Washington, but I would sit him in most formats against the Giants.

• Cowboys' Luke Schoonmaker: Sleeper TEs

  Rotowire Nov 22, 2024

  Jake Ferguson (concussion) is not expected to play in Week 12 at Washington, and Schoonmaker is a good replacement option in deeper leagues. He stepped in for Ferguson in Week 11 against Houston and caught six passes for 56 yards on 10 targets, and hopefully, he continues to get that much attention against the Commanders. It helps that Washington has allowed four tight ends to score at least 10.7 PPR points in the past five games, with three touchdowns allowed over that span.

• Cowboys' Luke Schoonmaker: Poised for bigger role Sunday

  Rotowire Nov 22, 2024

  Schoonmaker will stand to take on a bigger role than normal Sunday at Washington with Jake Ferguson (concussion) ruled out for the contest, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. Ferguson lasted seven offensive snaps during Monday's game against the Texans before departing with a concussion. The development freed up more work for other Cowboys tight ends, as Schoonmaker led the position in snap share (53 percent) and targets (10), while Brevyn Spann-Ford earned 49 and five, respectively. Such a breakdown implies Schoonmaker will share the load rather than take on Ferguson's outsized role (typically, at least 75 percent of snaps in five of his previous six healthy appearances). Still, Schoonmaker's 10 targets translated to six catches for 56 yards Week 11, so he should be plenty busy behind No. 1 WR CeeDee Lamb.

• Cowboys' Luke Schoonmaker: Sleepers (Start/Sit)

  Rotowire Nov 21, 2024

  Jake Ferguson (concussion) is not expected to play in Week 12 at Washington, and Schoonmaker is a good replacement option in deeper leagues. He stepped in for Ferguson in Week 11 against Houston and caught six passes for 56 yards on 10 targets, and hopefully he continues to get that much attention against the Commanders. It helps that Washington has allowed four tight ends to score at least 10.7 PPR points in the past five games, with three touchdowns allowed over that span.

• Cowboys' Luke Schoonmaker: Week 12 Waiver Priority List

  Rotowire Nov 19, 2024

  Jake Ferguson (concussion) left Week 11 against Houston, and Schoonmaker stepped up with six catches for 56 yards on 10 targets. We'll see if Ferguson can return in Week 12 against Washington, but if he's out then add Schoonmaker in deeper leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

• Cowboys' Luke Schoonmaker: Steps in early for injured starter

  Rotowire Nov 19, 2024

  Schoonmaker had six receptions (on 10 targets) for 56 yards in Monday's 34-10 loss to the Texans. Starter Jake Ferguson (concussion) exited early Monday after being checked for a head injury, opening the door for Schoonmaker to take over as the primary tight end for most of the contest. The second-round sophomore posted career-high receiving numbers while matching his previous game high of six receptions that he set back in Week 2 against the Saints. Fantasy managers desperate for a tight end Week 12 will have to wait on Ferguson's status in the coming days before finalizing any waiver claims on Schoonmaker following a solid effort against Houston.

• Cowboys' Luke Schoonmaker: Only one grab against Ravens

  Rotowire Sep 23, 2024

  Schoonmaker caught one of two targets for five yards in Sunday's loss to the Ravens. With Jake Ferguson back in the lineup after missing last week's contest with a knee injury, Schoonmaker saw his usage predictably crater. The second-year tight end still has seven catches through three games, a vast improvement on the eight receptions he managed in 17 games as a rookie, but his role in the Dallas offense will remain minor as long as Ferguson stays healthy.

• Cowboys' Luke Schoonmaker: Slated for increased workload

  Rotowire Sep 13, 2024

  Schoonmaker is in line to be the Cowboys' No. 1 tight end Sunday against the Saints with Jake Ferguson (knee) doubtful to play, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. A 2023 second-round pick, Schoonmaker has yet to miss a game in his brief NFL career, but he also has just eight catches (on 15 targets) for 65 yards and two touchdowns in 18 regular-season contests. As such, he won't hold as much sway as Ferguson for as long as the latter is sidelined due to an MCL sprain, but the increased opportunity for Schoonmaker should result in more regular looks from quarterback Dak Prescott. The other options to fill in at the position are Brevyn Spann-Ford and practice-squad member Princeton Fant.

• Cowboys' Luke Schoonmaker: Week 2 Waiver Priority List

  Rotowire Sep 10, 2024

  For now, Schoonmaker is the No. 2 tight end for the Cowboys behind Jake Ferguson, who could be out in Week 2 with a knee injury. In deeper leagues, if Schoonmaker were to get the start in Dallas in Week 2 against New Orleans, he would be worth adding in deeper leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

• Cowboys' Luke Schoonmaker: Could get start in Week 2

  Rotowire Sep 9, 2024

  Schoonmaker may get an opportunity to start versus the Saints in Week 2 with Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reporting that Jake Ferguson (knee) is expected to miss time. Schoonmaker and undrafted rookie Brevyn Spann-Ford each played 30 percent of the offensive snaps as backups to Ferguson in Week 1 versus Cleveland. However, neither tight end was targeted in the game while fullback Hunter Luepke saw two targets after Ferguson's exit, catching both for 18 yards. Considering the investment Dallas made by selecting Schoonmaker in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, he should be the favorite to fill in for Ferguson atop the depth chart, but he caught only eight passes in 2023. Ferguson is reportedly considered week-to-week due to a bone bruise and MCL sprain, so he figures to be sidelined multiple contests. John Stephens (hamstring), who was inactive in Week 1, could also be in the tight end mix for Dallas once he gets healthy.
