Los Angeles Rams rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson scored his second and third touchdowns in back-to-back weeks at the end of the regular season before Tyler Higbee returned from Injured Reserve. Then Ferguson injured his hamstring, which caused him to miss the Week 18 regular-season finale and the Wild-Card win over the Philadelphia Eagles. In the 22-year-old's return in the Divisional Round win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday, Ferguson caught just one of a season-high five targets for 19 yards. There's plenty to like about Ferguson's long-term outlook, but right now, he's just too hard to trust when he's fighting for targets alongside Colby Parkinson and Higbee. During the regular season, Ferguson had a total of just 11 receptions for 231 yards and three touchdowns on 25 targets. The matchup against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship game this weekend is a decent one, but Ferguson is unlikely to return value unless he scores.

Los Angeles Rams rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) practiced in full all week and has been cleared to play in the Divisional Round in the playoffs on Sunday against the hosting Chicago Bears, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN. Ferguson suffered a hamstring injury in Week 17 and missed the last two games, including the Wild-Card win over the Carolina Panthers. Since the 22-year-old's injury, the Rams have gotten tight end Tyler Higbee back from Injured Reserve. Colby Parkinson also remains involved at the position, which makes Ferguson one to avoid for fantasy playoff lineups this weekend. Ferguson scored in each of his last two games, but he'll be more of a long shot to return any value against Chicago in adverse weather conditions. He had only 11 catches during the regular season for 231 yards and three touchdowns on 25 targets.

Los Angeles Rams rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) was a full participant in the first practice of the week on Wednesday, according to the Los Angeles Daily News' Adam Grosbard. A hamstring injury kept Ferguson from playing in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Arizona Cardinals and the Wild-Card win over the Carolina Panthers last Saturday. Now that the 22-year-old is practicing in full again, though, he should be ready to play on Sunday against the Chicago Bears in the Divisional Round. For fantasy purposes, managers should be looking in another direction. Ferguson scored in each of his last two games, but that was before Tyler Higbee returned from Injured Reserve. The Rams also have Colby Parkinson, who has been involved since Higbee's return. Ferguson had only 11 catches during the regular season and will most likely struggle to produce this weekend.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Monday that he's optimistic that rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) will play against the Chicago Bears on Sunday in the Divisional Round of the playoffs, according to Gary Klein of The Los Angeles Times. Ferguson suffered a hamstring injury in Week 17 and has missed the last two games, including Saturday's Wild-Card victory over the Carolina Panthers on the road. The 22-year-old rookie tight end scored touchdowns in each of the last two games that he played in against the Atlanta Falcons and Seattle Seahawks, but that was also when Tyler Higbee was still on Injured Reserve. Higbee is now back in the fold, and the Rams also have Colby Parkinson at the position, which will likely leave a very small role for Ferguson if he returns in the Divisional Round this Sunday in Chicago.

Los Angeles Rams rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) is listed as questionable to play on Wild-Card weekend on Saturday against the Carolina Panthers, according to Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Ferguson did not practice on Tuesday or Wednesday, but he returned to a limited showing on Thursday, giving him a chance to play this weekend. The 22-year-old scored in each of his last two games, but he injured his hamstring in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Arizona Cardinals and is now uncertain to be active to kick off playoff action. Even if Ferguson can play in Carolina, he'll be an easy fade as a TE sleeper in fantasy lineups with Tyler Higbee now back in the fold after missing six games due to an ankle injury. Ferguson only had 11 receptions for 231 yards and three touchdowns during the regular season of his rookie campaign.
Jan 8, 2026 5:24 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) missed a second straight day of practice this week on Wednesday, according to the Los Angeles Daily News' Adam Grosbard. Ferguson injured his hamstring in practice late last week and didn't play in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Arizona Cardinals. The 22-year-old has scored in each of his last two games played with five grabs on eight targets for 87 yards, but he's trending in the wrong direction to suit up on Saturday versus the hosting Carolina Panthers on Wild-Card weekend. Even if Ferguson somehow plays this weekend, he'll be hard to recommend as a TE streamer in playoff formats with Tyler Higbee (ankle) now back from Injured Reserve. Higbee scored and nearly hit the century mark in his return from IR in the Week 18 season finale.
Jan 7, 2026 7:41 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report, according to ESPN's Sarah Barshop. Ferguson injured his hamstring in practice last Friday and was held out of the Week 18 win over the Arizona Cardinals as a precaution. It's not a great sign that the 22-year-old isn't practicing to begin the week, but he still has a few more days to get back on the practice field. Head coach Sean McVay said he expects Ferguson to return on Saturday for the Wild-Card playoff matchup against the hosting Carolina Panthers. Ferguson took on a bigger role in L.A.'s offense right before his injury, but with Tyler Higbee now back in the fold, it's going to be harder for the rookie TE to make noise in fantasy in the postseason. He finished his first year in the NFL with only 11 catches on 25 targets for 231 yards and three touchdowns.
Jan 6, 2026 6:38 PM EST
The Los Angeles Rams "erred on the side of caution" with rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) in the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, but he is expected to play against the hosting Carolina Panthers in the Wild-Card playoff game this Saturday, according to head coach Sean McVay. Ferguson saw more involvement in the offense in Weeks 16 and 17 with Tyler Higbee still on Injured Reserve, catching five of eight targets for 87 yards and two touchdowns. However, his momentum was stopped after tweaking his hamstring in practice last Friday and being held out of the regular-season finale against the Cardinals. Now that Higbee is back from IR, Ferguson will find it more difficult to contribute while also battling for targets with Colby Parkinson. In his first 11 NFL games in 2025, Ferguson caught 11 of 25 targets for 231 yards and three touchdowns.
Jan 5, 2026 6:44 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. Ferguson practiced in full all week long, but he was added to the injury report on Saturday and listed as doubtful. The rookie finishes his first professional regular season with 11 catches, 231 yards, and three touchdowns. He came on particularly strong near the end of the year, scoring a touchdown in each of his last two games. Fortunately, the Rams activated Tyler Higbee (ankle) on Saturday, so the veteran will replace the rookie on Los Angeles' gameday roster.
Jan 4, 2026 3:31 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) was a late addition to the injury report with a hamstring injury, and he is now considered doubtful for the team's Week 18 matchup with the Cardinals. Ferguson has scored in back-to-back games, with a third touchdown taken off the board by a controversial penalty call, but it appears his regular season has come to an end. If so, he will finish his rookie year with 231 yards and three touchdowns on 11 receptions. Veteran tight end Tyler Higbee (ankle) was activated from Injured reserve on Saturday after missing the last six games with an ankle injury, and he could be thrust into a larger-than-expected role should Ferguson miss the season finale.
Jan 3, 2026 2:50 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson will head into the Week 18 regular-season finale this weekend against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals as a legitimate streaming option at tight end for fantasy football managers. The 22-year-old found the end zone for the second straight contest in the Monday night loss to the Atlanta Falcons, catching two of his four targets for a season-high 54 yards and the trip to paydirt. In last week's loss to the Seattle Seahawks, he had three catches on four targets for 33 yards and his second score of the season. Ferguson's touchdown reception in Week 17 was a 27-yard strike from quarterback Matthew Stafford when he was left all alone in the back of the end zone. Colby Parkinson remains heavily involved -- he outsnapped Ferguson 51 to 32 and caught six passes for 53 yards -- but Ferguson could certainly find the end zone for a third straight week this Sunday against Arizona.
Dec 30, 2025 5:44 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson hauled in two of his four targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Ferguson has now seen four targets and scored a touchdown in back-to-back games as his playing time has spiked over the last three contests. The rookie second-rounder finished second on the team in receiving yards on the night and continues to be an explosive playmaker in a potent Rams offense. He's recorded five catches of at least 25 yards this season, which is the most by a Rams rookie tight end in the last 35 years, according to the Los Angeles Rams PR. Ferguson is seeing a bump in routes and targets down the stretch, and looks like an exciting player to dream on in fantasy football in 2026. His usage is expected to continue expanding in the final week of the regular season against the Arizona Cardinals.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson continues to trend upward in the team's offense. ESPN.com's Sarah Barshop wrote about 36 rookies who have learned valuable lessons in their first season, and she identified Ferguson early in the article as one of this season's top risers. He has played at least 75% of the offensive snaps in each of the last two weeks, and he had the best game of his young career in Week 16 with three catches, 33 yards, and one touchdown. Ferguson has emerged with Tyler Higbee (ankle) sidelined, as he finds himself in a complementary role alongside Colby Parkinson. While Parkinson has been more productive from a fantasy perspective, Ferguson has also carved out a decent role in Los Angeles' high-powered offense. He's a solid dynasty stash but not a dependable fantasy option for Week 17 against the Atlanta Falcons.
Dec 26, 2025 8:07 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson has an opportunity to ascend into a larger role during Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Ferguson has struggled to carve out a significant snap share this season, but he could make that leap this week after Tyler Higbee (ankle) was placed on injured reserve. The rookie will likely operate as the Rams' No. 2 tight end behind Colby Parkinson, primarily serving as a big-yardage threat downfield. He has five catches on 11 targets this season, and he's averaging a whopping 27.6 yards per reception. The 22-year-old hasn't produced these big catches consistently enough to warrant starting him in fantasy football, but he's inching closer to a fantasy-relevant role with Higbee now sidelined. In the short term, Ferguson ranks as the overall TE34 in RotoBaller's Week 12 fantasy rankings.
Nov 22, 2025 4:46 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson has just five catches for 138 yards and one touchdown in his first eight NFL games, but the 22-year-old second-rounder will have more opportunities over the next four games after the Rams put Tyler Higbee (ankle) on Injured Reserve this week. Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen will also be involved, but Ferguson probably has the most pass-catching upside of the trio with Higbee sidelined. The 6-foot-5, 252-pounder out of Oregon wasn't targeted at all in last week's big win over the Seattle Seahawks, the fourth time this year he's had zero catches in a game. The floor is obviously very low, and the matchup in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers isn't a great one, but there's no denying that Ferguson has an opportunity in front of him. His athleticism alone could make him an interesting red-zone weapon for the Rams in the coming weeks.
Nov 20, 2025 10:15 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson continues to gradually handle an increased workload. The rookie has 10 targets over his last three games, handling at least 30 percent of the offensive snaps in each of those contests. He has primarily operated as a big-play threat, catching four passes for 117 yards during that span (29.3 yards per catch). While Tyler Higbee has remained Los Angeles' most-utilized tight end, Ferguson is not far behind. He appears to be the Rams' tight end of the future, and his receiving skills are among the best in this year's class of rookie tight ends. He's not startable in Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks, but he should be stashed in all dynasty leagues.
Nov 15, 2025 12:31 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson saw limited playing time over the first five weeks of the season, but his role has increased lately. The rookie has three catches for 85 yards and a touchdown over his last two games, averaging 8.8 fantasy points (PPR) during that span. Specifically, he has emerged as a big-play threat for the Rams. Two of Ferguson's last three catches have gone for at least 31 yards, allowing him to emerge as an intriguing target and chain-mover for Matthew Stafford. It will be tough for Ferguson to carve out a consistent target share behind Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen, and Colby Parkinson, but he has significant upside thanks to his receiving skills and high draft capital. He's a very appealing dynasty stash.
Nov 5, 2025 3:11 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson played a season-high 49% of his team's offensive snaps in Week 7 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It's a small bright spot in what's otherwise been a quiet rookie season for Ferguson, as he's recorded two catches for 52 yards and a touchdown on four targets across five games played so far in 2025. Given how the Rams utilize their tight ends, it may be difficult for Ferguson to carve out a fantasy-relevant role this season. In Week 7, all four of Ferguson, Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen, and Colby Parkinson played at least 37% of Los Angeles' offensive snaps. Unless there are multiple injuries in the Rams' tight end room, Ferguson should remain off the radar of redraft fantasy managers.
Oct 21, 2025 9:36 PM EST
Despite limited playing time early on in his rookie season, Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson has earned a more significant role in the team's offense. The University of Oregon product has had a slow start to the season after battling a groin injury in training camp. While he's only appeared on the field for eight total snaps across two contests, head coach Sean McVay has taken note of his development and intends to get him more involved in the offense. "We have to be able to figure out a way to be able to get him going," said McVay. "He's going to be a really good player for us, I believe. I thought he did an excellent job with the opportunity that he had [last week]." Ferguson is firmly fourth in LA's TE pecking order, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him pick up more playing time moving forward. It remains to be seen if he'll become a viable play in redraft leagues this season, but he's an excellent stash in dynasty formats.
Oct 9, 2025 11:44 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson has been working primarily with the scout team during practice and has caught the eye of offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur. LaFleur talked about how even though he has just been running on the scout team, they are always watching and evaluating as a staff. He specifically noted a moment when Ferguson went immediately to veteran tight end Tyler Higbee after a scout team rep to ask for feedback and what he saw on the play. LaFleur seemed encouraged by the growth and accountability that he displayed in that setting. The 2025 second-round pick has been active for two of four games and has played almost exclusively special teams with just four offensive snaps all season. Ferguson should still be well-regarded in dynasty leagues, but he's nowhere near relevancy in redraft leagues.
