2024 Fantasy Outlook
Schoonmaker was able to play only eight games as a rookie after being selected in the second round of the 2023 Draft, and he's already running the risk of getting stuck with the injury-prone label. A partial tear of his plantar fascia hampered him last offseason, he underwent shoulder surgery in March, and he was unable to return during OTAs due to a hamstring strain. Jake Ferguson established himself as the Cowboys' starting tight end last year, and even if Schoonmaker is able to stay healthy in 2024, he could have trouble carving out a significant role.

Two grabs despite Ferguson's return
Schoonmaker brought in both targets for 22 yards in the Cowboys' 27-20 loss to the Bengals on Monday night.
ANALYSIS
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.

With fantasy seasons hanging in the balance, we break down a busy and star-packed Week 14 injury report and highlight the latest news as of Sunday morning.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Selected in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft as the fifth tight end taken in what was seen as a very deep class at the position, Schoonmaker has the size (6-5, 251) and athleticism to be a solid blocker on the line while contributing as a receiver at the sticks. That's the template the Cowboys have been using at the position ever since Jason Witten left, and while Dalton Schultz's departure this offseason does open up the starting spot, Schoonmaker will have to beat out second-year player Jake Ferguson, who offers similar size and has shown some chemistry in the passing game with Dak Prescott, for the job.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could shift back to backup role
Schoonmaker could slide down a spot on the depth chart Monday against the Bengals, as Jake Ferguson participated in Wednesday's walk-through session, per David Moore of The Dallas Morning News.
ANALYSIS
Ferguson is trending up in his recovery from a concussion that sidelined him for Dallas' past two games. Including the game in which Ferguson got hurt, Schoonmaker has thrived as Dallas' top tight end, catching 14 of 20 targets for 144 yards and a touchdown in a three-game span. In nine games prior to Ferguson's injury, Schoonmaker had just eight catches for 56 yards. Ferguson still needs to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to play in Week 14.
