Ferguson, a second-round 2025 NFL Draft pick, drew only 25 targets as a rookie with 11 catches, but averaged 21 yards per catch and 9.2 yards per target. He is an extraordinary physical specimen (6-foot-5½, 247 pounds; 4.63 40-time; 39-inch vertical). However, role ambiguity limits his fantasy appeal. The Rams rotated four TEs last year (Ferguson, Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen), with Ferguson averaging fewer snaps per game than the other three. The Rams added another TE, Max Klare of Ohio State, in the second round of this year's draft. On the bright side, Rams head coach Sean McVay used 13 personnel (three TEs on field) on 30.5% of offensive snaps last season—no other team exceeded 14%—and Rams tight ends combined for 150 targets, 103 catches, 1,128 yards and 17 touchdowns. Ferguson is undraftable in all but the deepest leagues, but his athleticism and potential role growth in a TE-friendly offense warrant monitoring.

Ferguson is the source's second breakout tight end candidate, positioned as tight end two and wide receiver three for the Los Angeles Rams. The source highlights Ferguson as 'a much better player' than Colby Parkinson (who had 8 TDs but only 8.6 PPR per game last year). Ferguson led all tight ends in average depth of target last season with an aDOT over 18 yards, indicating high-value target opportunities. The Rams made no significant wide receiver three investment, leaving the position open to Jordan Whittington, Xavier Smith, or Kanat Mumfield—all unproven options. Sean McVay has stated Ferguson can play all three positions in the tight end room and also play wide receiver, expanding his role flexibility and target upside. Ferguson has insane touchdown spike potential; the source compares his ceiling to Robert Tonyan's 2020 Packers season (12 TDs in 13 games) and says the sky is the absolute limit, though he won't finish second on the team in targets per game unless Davante Adams gets injured.

The source predicts Ferguson leads the Rams tight ends in receiving yards and touchdowns. Ferguson and Stafford were close throughout last season but could never quite fire on all cylinders, similar to Davante Adams. Now with his rookie year under his belt and beginning to nail down the nuances of a difficult position in a Sean McVay offense, the source believes the Rams have big plans for Ferguson in the flex role with frequent seam route plays for tight ends.

The source predicts Ferguson will lead the Rams tight ends in receiving yards and touchdowns. Ferguson and Stafford showed chemistry throughout last season but could never quite fire on all cylinders, similar to Davante Adams. Now with his rookie year under his belt and beginning to nail down the nuances of a difficult position in Sean McVay's offense, the Rams are expected to have big plans for Ferguson in the flex role with frequent seam route plays.

Described as the best upside dart in this tier. Despite only 11 receptions last season, Ferguson averaged 21 yards per reception (highest at the position) and had 52 percent of his targets on passes thrown 20-plus yards downfield—no other tight end reached 21 percent. Sean McVay has praised him, and the Rams' lackluster pass-catcher depth chart behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams could position Ferguson as the WR3 in a high-flying offense. The source notes that having a heavy downfield role isn't ideal if it limits other opportunities, but it's a skill many at the position lack.

Ranked TE25 as the best upside dart of the tier; while he had only 11 receptions last season, they were productive. Sean McVay has praised him, though McVay tends to praise most of his guys offseason. Ferguson stands out with elite downfield skills—he averaged 21 yards per reception (most at the position) and 52 percent of his targets came on 20-plus yard passes (no other TE reached 21 percent). The Rams' lackluster pass-catcher depth behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams suggests Ferguson could work as the WR3 in a high-flying offense. The source recommends him as a fine last-round dart with potential for a surprising Week 1 usage boost that could have him 'knocking on the TE1 door as soon as Week 2,' though a by-committee system with Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen, and Max Klare is the most likely scenario.

Several people in the Rams' building have pointed to Terrance Ferguson as a player they think will take a big step forward in Year 2. The source is an unabashed Ferguson truther, noting he averaged over nine yards after the catch per reception at Oregon, which is exactly the trait Sean McVay's offense rewards. With Puka Nacua and Davante Adams already entrenched and a crowded tight end room, patience is required; stash him as a late-round target, but don't chase him too high up draft boards.

PositiveRoleJul 25, 2026Fantasy Points Fantasy Football
Terrence Ferguson was used as a deep-threat tight end at Oregon, a rare archetype. The Rams invested significant second-round draft capital in him as a receiving-only tight end. Scott Barrett expects Ferguson to play in all 13-personnel packages (which the Rams ran ~30% of the time) and get all the deep shots from that look, though he acknowledges Sean McVay's unpredictability with new wrinkles. Ferguson's prospect evaluation improved upon closer inspection; he was more productive than Kenyan Sadiq in the same Oregon offense in 2024, which provides a better gauge of his NFL potential than initial prospect grades suggested.

Ferguson is identified as a potential late-round sleeper at tight end for the Rams, though he carries committee risk. The Rams' tight end room collectively scored the second-most PPR points in the league last year (behind only Tram McBride's Cardinals), with Kobe Parkinson finishing as TE22. If production consolidates around one player, Ferguson could offer significant late-round value without requiring a high draft pick.

Rams TE's rookie season appeared disappointing on surface with 11 catches on 25 targets in 350-plus snaps, but he flashed significantly on those 11 catches, averaging 21 yards per grab and catching three TDs. The Rams funneled the ball his way more and more as the season went on, showing how much faith Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford had in the rising prospect. Ferguson also showed he could hold his own as a blocker, which wasn't viewed as a major strength entering the league. With Tyler Higbee and Colby Parkinson remaining options, Ferguson will get every opportunity to shine this season, including preseason flash plays.
