Michael Trigg Peppered with Five Targets in NFL Preseason Debut
Dallas Cowboys tight end Michael Trigg caught four of his five targets for 30 yards during Saturday's preseason win over the Seattle Seahawks. At 24 years old, Trigg is on the older side for a prospect, which might be why he went undrafted despite having 694 yards and six touchdowns at Baylor last season. Nevertheless, he's already turning heads in the NFL after a productive, high-volume showing in the Cowboys' preseason opener. There's no question that Jake Ferguson has the No. 1 tight end job all locked up in Dallas, but we wouldn't be shocked to see Trigg push for the No. 2 role ahead of Luke Schoonmaker, despite his undrafted status. If Trigg continues to play well, he could be in the mix for a fantasy-relevant workload in the event of an injury to Ferguson

Cowboys claim TE Zack Kuntz off waivers
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

Michael Trigg a Deep Dynasty Stash With Roster Risk
Dallas Cowboys tight end Michael Trigg has the receiving profile to draw dynasty interest, but he is still fighting just to make the roster. His final Baylor season was easily his best: 50 catches for 694 yards and six touchdowns in 11 games. At the combine, he measured 6-foot-3 3/4, 240 pounds, with 10 1/2-inch hands and an 84 3/8-inch wingspan, the longest among tight ends in the class. That length shows up on contested catches. The rest is less settled. Jake Ferguson is locked in at TE1, while Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford are already battling for the next job. Dallas has also made it clear that special teams and blocking will help decide whether Trigg survives final cuts. A practice-squad outcome remains very possible. RotoBaller ranks him TE43 in dynasty, which fits the uncertainty. He belongs on taxi squads only in deeper formats, not active redraft rosters. The upside is worth tracking, but camp has to come first

Cowboys news: Predicted roster cuts for the Dallas 2026 roster
The Dallas Cowboys are making roster predictions for their 2026 season, with key decisions looming at wide receiver, tight end, and along the offensive line. While CeeDee Lamb and Jake Ferguson are expected to retain their spots, notable cuts like Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Luke Schoonmaker are anticipated. Sam Howell is favored for the backup quarterback role over Joe Milton, and Phil Mafah is projected to edge out Malik Davis at running back. Defensive players Reddy Steward and Trikweze Bridges face uncertain futures despite significant playing time last season

Michael Trigg an Under-the-Radar Dynasty Stash or Taxi Squad Candidate
In a year that saw 22 tight ends selected in the 2026 NFL Draft, Baylor's Michael Trigg was not one of the players to hear his name called, and he ultimately signed with the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent. Finishing second in the nation with 694 receiving yards from the tight end position and landing in the top five with his six touchdown grabs, talent has never been a concern for Trigg, but off-field issues are what led him to go undrafted. While the Cowboys organization has a checkered history of character concerns, that reputation has improved immensely in recent years, and if Trigg can keep things focused on football, he could earn his way onto the roster. Dallas is already deep at the position with Jake Ferguson and dedicated blockers Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford, but in a league trending toward heavier 12 and 13-personnel usage, it should come as no surprise if more teams start keeping four tight ends on the roster. Trigg offers a receiving element that neither Schoonmaker nor Spann-Ford would be able to provide should Ferguson miss extended time, and while he'll first need to make the team, RotoBaller's dynasty TE42 could ultimately prove to be a taxi squad stash with long-term fantasy upside

Is Michael Trigg Worthy of a Dynasty Roster Spot?
Despite posting impressive testing metrics at the Scouting Combine, Dallas Cowboys tight end Michael Trigg did not hear his name called at the 2026 NFL Draft. The 23-year-old was productive in his final collegiate season at Baylor, recording 50 catches for 694 yards and six touchdowns across 11 games. However, he faces an uphill battle for a roster spot in Dallas. Cowboys tight ends Jake Ferguson, Luke Schoonmaker, and Brevyn Spann-Ford are all likely assured of roster spots, leaving Trigg fighting for the TE4 role with Princeton Fant and DJ Rogers. If Trigg can catch on in Dallas, his athleticism provides him with some long-term upside for dynasty managers. Still, the Cowboys' crowded tight end depth chart may make it difficult for Trigg to earn fantasy-relevant playing time at any point in the foreseeable future. RotoBaller currently ranks Trigg as the 42nd-best tight end in dynasty formats

Predicting the Cowboys’ TE2 battle between Schoonmaker and Spann-Ford
The Dallas Cowboys do not have a starter problem at the tight end position. Jake Ferguson solved that a while back, and the franchise confirmed it when it gave him a four-year extension during training camp last year. Ferguson is now locked in as one of Dak Prescott ’s trusted targets and is coming off a 2025 season in where he posted 82 catches, 600 yards, and eight touchdowns before being added to the NFC Pro Bowl roster. The more interesting question is what happens behind him. For years, the Cowboys have talked themselves into the idea that Luke Schoonmaker would eventually become the clear second tight end. That was the expectation after Dallas used a second-round pick on him in 2023. He had the size, testing profile, Michigan pedigree, and blocking background to become a useful complement to Ferguson. Three years later, though, the battle is much more open than the draft investment would suggest. Schoonmaker is still very much in the mix. The current Cowboys depth chart lists him behind Ferguson, ahead of Brevyn Spann-Ford, Princeton Fant, Michael Trigg, and D.J. Rogers. That is not meaningless. Coaches tend to trust players who know the system, and Schoonmaker has been in the building long enough to understand the details of the offense. But the production has not matched the investment. Schoonmaker finished 2025 with just 14 catches for 132 yards, while Spann-Ford caught nine of 13 targets for 90 yards and his first career touchdown. Neither player dominated the passing game, but Spann-Ford did more with less, and that matters when projecting who can force his way into a bigger role. The case for Schoonmaker is still easy to make. He is entering the final year of his rookie contract, so there is a clear financial incentive for him to have the best season of his career, and we’ve all seen what players suddenly do in a contract year. He has also said he feels fully healthy this offseason for the first time as a pro, after dealing with foot surgery, shoulder surgery, and other soft-tissue issues earlier in his career. If he can become more than a short-area safety valve and actually threaten the seam, Dallas suddenly has a different answer in 12 man personnel. Ferguson is already the chain-mover. George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb will command attention outside. A tight end who can get behind linebackers would give Brian Schottenheimer another way to attack defenses that want to sit on underneath routes. The issue is that projection has been doing a lot of the work with Schoonmaker. At some point, a former second-round pick has to become more than a theoretical playmaker. The Cowboys do not need TE2 to be a star, but they do need that player to have a defined weekly function. Right now, Spann-Ford’s role feels clearer. Spann-Ford gives Dallas size, physicality, and a more natural fit as the second tight end in heavier personnel. With his size he brings a different body type to the room. He can function attached to the line, help in the run game, and still present enough of a receiving target over the middle to punish smaller defenders. Last offseason, we saw how the offense used Spann-Ford’s size as a mismatch tool, and this is the key difference. Schoonmaker’s argument is based on what he could still become. Spann-Ford’s argument is based on what he already does well. Schoonmaker can still win it if he finally becomes the downfield threat the Cowboys have been waiting on. He has the athletic profile, the draft pedigree, and the contract-year motivation. A strong training camp would make it easy for the coaching staff to keep him in the role they always envisioned for him. But the prediction here is Spann-Ford. The likely Week 1 projection is Ferguson as TE1, Spann-Ford as TE2, Schoonmaker as TE3, and Trigg either making the roster as a developmental receiving option or landing on the practice squad if Dallas only keeps three traditional tight ends. Princeton Fant, Michael Trigg, and D.J. Rogers are fighting from dee [... truncated ...]
