Cowboys TE Luke Schoonmaker tied for the team lead with 6 receptions in Sunday's loss to the Saints. His 6 targets and 43 yards each ranked third on the team. That comes out to just 7.2 yards per catch, though. And Schoonmaker split playing time with TE Brevyn Spann-Ford.
Schoonmaker beat Spann-Ford 6-1 in targets. But he played just six more snaps and ran five more routes.
Schoonmaker did have 3 receptions by halftime, but the two of them split playing time the whole way. The second-round pick from last year would make sense as the preferred pass-catcher, but the route shares don't point to a meaningful lead.
It's also worth noting that both TEs ranked behind four Cowboys WRs in routes. And Spann-Ford also trailed WR5 KaVontae Turpin, 13-12.
Although Schoonmaker arrived as a higher-level prospect, Spann-Ford beat him 95-54 in college receptions and averaged 11.2 yards per catch to Schoonmaker's 11.8. And both rated well in speed score by their Scouting Combine numbers:
We'll see about Jake Ferguson. He originally appeared headed for multiple missed games with his knee injury. But then Dallas listed him as questionable on the Friday injury report for Week 2 (before downgrading Ferguson to doubtful).
If he's ready to play against the Ravens in Week 3, then Schoonmaker vs. Spann-Ford won't matter.
