Michael Trigg Fantasy Stats

Dallas Cowboys tight end Michael Trigg faces an uphill battle to make the 53-man roster ahead of Week 1. The Cowboys signed Trigg, a Baylor product, as an undrafted free agent last month. While his Scouting Combine measurables were impressive, we're not optimistic that the Cowboys have space for him on their roster. Dallas has one of the most established tight end rooms in the NFL, led by Jake Ferguson, with Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford solidified in depth roles. If Dallas explores the possibility of carrying a fourth tight end to play on special teams, Trigg will be in the mix, but even then, he'd have to compete with Princeton Fant and fellow undrafted free agent DJ Rogers. In his final season at school, Trigg caught 50 passes for 694 yards and six touchdowns. He ranks outside RotoBaller's top 70 rookies for dynasty fantasy football.

After recording 50 receptions for 694 yards and six touchdowns across 11 games as a fifth-year senior at Baylor in 2025, tight end Michael Trigg did not hear his name called in the 2026 NFL Draft. Trigg signed as an undrafted free agent with the Dallas Cowboys, so he'll have a chance to earn an NFL roster spot this spring/summer. However, Dallas has one of the deeper tight end rooms in the league, with Jake Ferguson, Luke Schoonmaker, and Brevyn Spann-Ford all likely assured of roster spots. Trigg's 84 3/8 wingspan set the all-time record for tight ends at the 2026 Draft Combine, so his measurables offer some intriguing upside. Still, Trigg faces an uphill battle for a roster spot in Dallas and only carries dynasty appeal in the very deepest of league formats.

Baylor tight end Michael Trigg was one of 27 tight end prospects invited to this year's NFL Combine, and while he didn't take part in any on-field testing due to a hamstring injury, he did raise eyebrows with his measurables. At just under 6'4" tall, his 84 and 3/8" wingspan set a new high mark at the position, topping the previous record, held by the nearly 6'7" Darnell Washington, by almost a full inch. That length shows up on tape in his ability to work over and through defenders, and in a tight end class that breaks wide open once you get past Kenyon Sadiq and Eli Stowers, Trigg's is a profile that could translate to early fantasy success. Character concerns could lead to him slipping in the NFL Draft, but in the later rounds of dynasty rookie drafts, Trigg is an intriguing, toolsy player on whom to stake a claim.
