A draft-season sleeper, Ferguson was blanked in Week 1 but showed encouraging usage with a 73% route participation rate in the first half despite playing fewer snaps than Colby Parkinson. As a second-round pick in 2025, Ferguson is fast and athletic, averaging 21 yards per catch and 9.2 yards per target last season with an average depth of target of 17.9 yards per PFF. The Rams are rumored to have big plans for Ferguson, making this a growth stock to hold.NegativeProjectionSep 14, 2026
Ferguson combined for zero receptions in Week 1, a less surprising outcome given he was a late-round dart throw. He posted a 52.6% snap share and 41.4% route participation rate. The source suggests flushing this game due to the Rams playing abroad, questionable travel decisions, and falling behind 17-7 with 11:03 in the third quarter, recommending benching Ferguson another week to see where his playing time and usage shake out when the Rams play at home against the Giants in Week 2.PositiveSleeperSep 9, 2026
Terrance Ferguson is a potential upside play at tight end for the Rams. Despite only 11 catches last season, he averaged 21.0 yards per catch and 9.2 yards per target in 2025, with three of his catches going for touchdowns. Ferguson is physically gifted (6-foot-5, 252 pounds, 4.63 forty time, 39-inch vertical jump). Rams head coach Sean McVay is at the forefront of the NFL trend toward multiple-tight end sets, and there's buzz that Ferguson could effectively be the Rams' third receiver this season behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. This upside play could pay big dividends.PositiveSleeperSep 9, 2026
Terrance Ferguson was a sneaky tight end sleeper candidate for fantasy players in deeper leagues. The Los Angeles Rams lack proven pass-catchers besides Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, creating opportunity for Ferguson.PositiveBreakoutSep 9, 2026
Ferguson stands out as the most athletic tight end option in the Rams' loaded tight end room and should serve as the third option behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. In his rookie season, Ferguson recorded 25 targets but maximized them with 21 yards per catch and three touchdowns; his average depth of target (aDOT) was six yards higher than any other tight end in 2025. Nacua is dealing with a groin injury heading into Thursday's game against San Francisco and could be limited or less explosive than usual. If Nacua is compromised, Ferguson becomes the primary alternative pass-catcher alongside Colby Parkinson and Tutu Atwell. There is an outside chance Ferguson finishes as a top-15 tight end in Week 1, though full emergence may take several weeks into the season.PositiveRoleSep 8, 2026
Terrance Ferguson had only 11 receptions last year but three went for touchdowns and he averaged 21 yards per catch. He is physically impressive (6-5, 252 lbs, 4.63 40-time, 39-inch vertical jump). Rams head coach Sean McVay is at the vanguard of the movement toward multiple-TE sets in the NFL, and there is buzz that Ferguson could effectively be the Rams' third receiver this season behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.NegativeValueSep 8, 2026

Rams TE averaged 21.0 yards per catch and 9.2 yards per target in 2025 with three touchdown catches despite only 11 total receptions. At 6-foot-5, 252 pounds with a 4.63 forty-yard dash and 39-inch vertical jump, Ferguson has elite athleticism for the position. Sean McVay is at the forefront of the NFL trend toward multiple-tight end sets, and there's buzz Ferguson could effectively be the Rams' third receiver this season behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Waiver wire value: $1 true value, $2 desperate need, $0 budget-minded.PositiveUsageSep 8, 2026
Ferguson's Week 1 usage is unclear. Last year he had a 34.2% route share, 5.5% target share, 15% target-per-route run rate, and 7.6% first-read share. Among 54 qualifying tight ends, he ranked 48th in target-per-route-run rate and 32nd in yards per route run. He was their deep threat with an 18.3 aDOT. Offseason reports suggest an expanded role in year two, but the source notes the Rams can be truthful without having a high bar to clear. The 49ers allowed the fifth-fewest yards per target to tight ends but surrendered the sixth-most receiving touchdowns to the position. Ferguson is likely a touchdown-or-bust dart throw for Week 1, and the source would only start him in a DEEP league.PositiveBreakoutSep 8, 2026
Ferguson averaged 21.0 yards per catch and 9.2 yards per target in 2025, with three of his 11 catches going for touchdowns. He is 6-foot-5, 252 pounds, fast for a tight end (4.63 40-time at the combine), and athletic (39-inch vertical jump). Rams head coach Sean McVay is at the forefront of the NFL trend toward multiple-tight end sets, and there's buzz that Ferguson could effectively be the Rams' third receiver this season behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. The source calls this an upside play that could pay big dividends.NegativeRoleSep 8, 2026
Although the Rams are now the clear Super Bowl favorites, their stable of receiving options is very thin after Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Ferguson is a second-year tight end capable of lining up all over the field. The most likely outcome is that he remains locked in a multi-way time-share with the Rams' other viable tight ends. But he has legit weekly TE1 upside in this offense if things go right, which makes him worth holding until we at least see his Week 1 route participation rate.PositiveSleeperSep 6, 2026
Terrance Ferguson, a second-round pick in last year's NFL Draft, drew only 25 targets as a rookie and caught only 11 of them, but he averaged 21 yards per catch and 9.2 yards per target. Ferguson is an extraordinary physical specimen who ran a 4.63 and had a 39-inch vertical jump at last year's combine at 6-foot-5½, 247 pounds. Though the Rams are log-jammed at tight end with four TEs rotated last year and Ferguson averaging fewer snaps per game than the other three, and they added another TE in Max Klare of Ohio State in the second round of this year's draft, Ferguson's athleticism and the possibility that he earns a bigger role in a TE-friendly offense make him an interesting late-round flyer. Rams head coach Sean McVay used 13 personnel, with three TEs on the field at once, on 30.5% of the Rams' offensive snaps last season—no other team used 13 personnel on more than 14% of its plays. Rams tight ends combined for 150 targets, 103 catches, 1,128 yards and 17 touchdowns last season.PositiveSleeperSep 6, 2026
Terrance Ferguson is an undrafted tight end prospect worth targeting in late rounds, offering upside as a virtually free investment in a strong Rams offense. At 6-foot-6 and 247 pounds, Ferguson posted a 4.63 40-yard dash and 39-inch vertical at the combine. In his limited rookie opportunity (25 targets, 11 receptions), he averaged 21 yards per catch and 9.2 yards per target, demonstrating efficiency. The Rams project to be among the NFL's best offenses and use 13 personnel on 30.5% of snaps, allowing multiple tight ends. With Rams tight ends targeted 150 times last season and Davante Adams potentially hitting a cliff, target volume could rise. Ferguson faces competition at the position but offers the most upside of any Rams tight end.PositiveSleeperSep 3, 2026
Ferguson is going at ADP 168 (TE22) and is the type of tight end prospect worth taking a chance on. At 6-foot-6, 247 pounds, Ferguson posted a 4.63 40-yard dash and 39-inch vertical at the combine. As a rookie, he saw just 25 targets and finished with 11 receptions but made the most of those chances by averaging 21 yards per catch and 9.2 yards per target. The bullish case is that he plays in an offense projected to be among the best in the NFL under Sean McVay, who uses 13 personnel on 30.5% of snaps and targeted tight ends 150 times last season. With Davante Adams potentially hitting a cliff, that target number could rise. While Ferguson has competition at the position, he offers the most upside of any Rams tight end and is a virtually free way to invest in a good offense.PositiveSleeperSep 2, 2026

Terrance Ferguson is part of the Rams' young tight end core expected to see increased red-zone involvement in 2026, which will reduce Davante Adams' touchdown opportunities and red-zone target share.NegativeBustAug 21, 2026
Ferguson fits the profile of a player who could break out, but the Rams' offensive structure works against him. The Rams have a long-standing tendency to funnel targets to their wide receivers (Puka Nacua or Davante Adams posting double-digit targets), making it difficult for any tight end to emerge in that offense; this pattern has held for years with no reason to expect change.PositiveProjectionAug 19, 2026
Ferguson is an ideal TE2 for gamers chasing top-six upside at the position. As a rookie, he had only 35.1% route participation in 15 games, giving ample room for increased playing time. Ferguson demonstrated downfield usage with a 17.9-yard aDOT (deepest among 53 TEs with 150+ routes in regular season and postseason). He was a Matthew Stafford favorite in the red zone with eight end-zone targets and three receiving TDs (all in the end zone). Ferguson also offers YAC dimension: among 70 FBS TEs with 35+ targets in 2024, he ranked first in YAC per reception (9.0). The source identifies Ferguson as a well-rounded pass-catching weapon in a top-heavy corps with a path to being the Rams' No. 3 passing option and contingent upside if Puka Nacua or Davante Adams miss games, at ADP 198.7 (TE26).NegativeSleeperAug 19, 2026

The source identifies Ferguson as a near-miss bold prediction with real belief he fits his team's offensive-minded head coach's known affinity for heavily featuring the tight end position. With growing opportunity behind aging or currently unproven receiver options, outside media have floated him as a potential third-leading pass catcher on the roster this year. The team's well-documented use of extra-tight-end personnel groupings more than almost any team in the league supports the idea he could see the field a great deal even before target competition fully sorts itself out.PositiveRoleAug 16, 2026

Listed as a deep-league value pick in the 2026 draft cheat sheet, indicating strong undervalued fantasy potential in deeper formats at tight end.PositiveSleeperNo date
Terrance Ferguson, currently TE18 on the dynasty chart, is the most interesting name in the deeper tight end pool. His appeal starts with how the Rams organization talks about him and a rookie season that included a genuinely eye-opening per-catch average of roughly 21 yards per reception despite limited target and catch totals. There's real belief he could take a significant second-year leap and emerge as the third-most valuable pass catcher in that offense behind the team's top two receivers, particularly given how thin the proven depth is behind them. Ferguson has also come up as essentially a free target in redraft leagues, going in the range of TE30 despite real upside. Rams tight ends combined for over 100 catches and 17 touchdowns last season, production expected to consolidate into fewer hands rather than being split across four or five players. Ferguson offers the best combination of affordability in trades or startup drafts and realistic target-share ceiling of any tight end in this range, playing in an offense whose coach is known for using tight ends heavily.NegativeRoleNo date
Terrance Ferguson, 23 years old and drafted in the second round in 2025, is one of two younger prospects in the Rams' tight end room alongside Max Klare. The source notes that drafting Klare one year after Ferguson is peculiar unless the Rams are planning a new tight end duo after this season; for now, the upside of all four Rams tight ends is capped until one emerges.PositiveBreakoutNo date
At 180 ADP in round 15, Ferguson is an upside swing worth chasing for those who already have a steady tight end or two. The second-round rookie had a disappointing 2025 with a 38.5% snap share (69th at the position) and only 25 targets, catching 11 for 231 yards and three touchdowns. However, there were positives in his usage that signal how Sean McVay wants to deploy him. Ferguson was used almost exclusively as a deep threat with an aDOT of 18.6 yards and 14 deep targets—the next closest tight end was Travis Kelce with 10. With the Rams being trendsetters in 12 and 13 personnel looks, Ferguson should see the field more in Year 2. With the receiver room barren behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, Ferguson could settle into being the third option in the passing attack. McVay gushed about Ferguson at his end-of-season press conference, claiming he is a 'stud' and that 'he can win from different locations, whether that's attached, in the slot, or out wide.' Ferguson is oozing with potential in this Rams offense.
