Brevyn Spann-Ford is Seeing a Larger Role
Dallas Cowboys tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford has been seeing his snap count grow in recent weeks. The third-year tight end has been consistently getting more reps than Luke Schoonmaker throughout most of the season. Jake Ferguson remains the top option at tight end, but Spann-Ford has been getting the ball thrown his way more frequently. In Week 6, Spann-Ford hauled in four of his five targets for 35 yards. He saw his most playing time of the season this past week when he played 53 percent of the offensive snaps during the win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He hauled in both of his targets for 11 yards in the victory. The 26-year-old could be a dynasty stash for managers willing to be patient with him

Brevyn Spann-Ford - Two catches in Week 7 win
sleeper-rotowire+5 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Spann-Ford finished with two catches for 11 yards on two targets in Monday's 38-21 win over the Eagles. With the Cowboys opening the game in 12 personnel, Spann-Ford was credited with a start and was on the field for 36 of the team's 68 offensive snaps on the night (52.9 percent). Though Jake Ferguson is locked in as Dallas' top tight end, Spann-Ford has consistently repped ahead of Luke Schoonmaker as the No. 2 option at the position since Week 2. While he's mainly functioned as a blocker, Spann-Ford has been a solid complementary option in the passing game with a 9-79-0 line on 13 targets

Brevyn Spann-Ford's Increased Workload Signals Tight End Shakeup
Dallas Cowboys tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford started Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers ahead of Jake Ferguson, but Dallas hasn't entirely handed him the position. Spann-Ford caught four of five targets for 35 yards, topping his three receptions through the first five games combined. His playing time jumped from 16 snaps against Tampa Bay in Week 5 to 33 against Green Bay, while Ferguson dropped from 47 to 37 snaps and managed just two catches for 13 yards. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer had promised personnel changes after the Tampa Bay loss, when Ferguson committed two costly drops, and Spann-Ford was a clear beneficiary. Rostered in just 1% of leagues, he's worth a speculative waiver addition in 14-team formats ahead of Monday's matchup against Philadelphia. Ferguson still played more offensive snaps against Green Bay, though, which leaves the starting job unsettled despite Spann-Ford's increased involvement

sleeper-rotowire+6 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Spann-Ford caught both of his targets for 14 yards and made one tackle on kick coverage in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Giants.

Spann-Ford played 13 offensive snaps and 11 special teams snaps, contributing to the Cowboys in both phases to the start the season

Cowboys agree to three-year extension with TE Brevyn Spann-Ford
The Cowboys have agreed to terms with backup tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford on a three-year extension, his agent, Mike McCartney, announced on social media.

He has made only 18 catches for 178 yards and a touchdown, but has played 25.5 percent of the team’s offensive snaps over the past two seasons. He has also played 357 special teams snaps, becoming a core special teams player in 2025

Brevyn Spann-Ford - Inks three-year extension
sleeper-rotowire+6 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Spann-Ford signed a three-year extension with the Cowboys on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Spann-Ford has played in all 34 regular-season games with Dallas during his first two NFL seasons and is now set to remain with the club for the foreseeable future. The Minnesota product hasn't been a big part of the Cowboys' passing game, logging only 18 catches during those 34 contests, but he has contributed solid blocking in a rotational role. Spann-Ford should continue to work behind starter Jake Ferguson and alongside fellow reserve Luke Schoonmaker in 2026

Pro Football TalkSource ↗
The Cowboys lost Princeton Fant for the season to a torn ACL and they replaced him on the roster with another tight end on Thursday. The NFL’s daily transaction report shows that they have claimed Zack Kuntz off of waivers. Fant was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Kuntz was waived by the Raiders on Thursday to end a brief stint with the team. He was a 2023 Jets seventh-round pick and played in two games during his time with the team. Jake Ferguson, Brevyn Spann-Ford, Luke Schoonmaker, Michael Trigg, and DJ Rogers are the other tight ends on the Cowboys roster

Cowboys TE Princeton Fant tears ACL
Pro Football TalkSource ↗
Cowboys tight end Princeton Fant, who was carted off from Monday’s practice, will miss the season with a left knee injury.

Fant injured his knee when he was blocked backward into running back Israel Abanikanda during the Cowboys’ first full-pads practice Monday. Fant signed with the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent out of Tennessee in 2023. He has appeared in 11 games in three seasons, playing mostly on special teams. The Cowboys also have Jake Ferguson, Brevyn Spann-Ford and Luke Schoonmaker at the position

Brevyn Spann-Ford - Primed for backup role
sleeper-rotowire+6 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Spann-Ford is expected to earn a spot on Dallas' tight end depth chart behind starter Jake Ferguson, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. Spann-Ford appeared in all 17 games for the Cowboys for the second straight season in 2025, so it's reasonable to anticipate he'll play a role in the offense again in 2026. However, he spent most of his snaps last year blocking, so there's no guarantee an increased snap count would translate to fantasy reliability
analyst
Brevyn Spann-Ford Expected to Operate in Backup Role
Dallas Cowboys tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford is projected to make the 53-man roster as a backup to Jake Ferguson. Spann-Ford has primarily been used as a blocker, with minimal receiving statistics in his two NFL seasons. In the event of a Ferguson injury, Luke Schoonmaker would be the preferred fantasy waiver-wire option
