Terrance Ferguson Remains Absent From Practice
Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson (soreness) remained absent from practice for a second consecutive day on Sunday, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com. Last week, head coach Sean McVay said that Ferguson is dealing with soreness, so that's likely the reason why he isn't practicing today. There's still more than 10 days until the Rams' season opener against the 49ers, but we're starting to get to the point where fantasy managers should pay close attention to injury news and practice statuses. Ferguson has a real chance to separate himself from the rest of the Rams' tight end room this year, but first, he'll need to be healthy. Tyler Higbee, Colby Parkinson, and Max Klare would likely handle more snaps and increased volume if Ferguson misses any time.

Terrance Ferguson Held Out of Practice, Works on Side
Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson did not participate in Tuesday's practice, though he was doing workouts off to the side, according to Nate Atkins. Ferguson had been putting together a strong summer before the absence, including two red-zone touchdowns during last week's joint practice with New Orleans. The Rams have also been expanding what they ask him to do in the passing game and moving him around the formation. Ferguson flashed that playmaking ability on limited opportunities as a rookie, catching 11 passes for 231 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games. Six of those receptions went for at least 25 yards. There is no reason to speculate on what kept Ferguson out Tuesday based on the information available. For now, the important part is that he wasn't in team drills but remained active with workouts on the side.

Terrance Ferguson's Route Tree Expanding in 2026
Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson is seeing his route tree expand significantly heading into 2026, according to The Athletic's Nate Atkins. With star wide receiver Puka Nacua (groin) not practicing, Ferguson is stepping up as a playmaker for reigning MVP Matthew Stafford. During joint practice with the New Orleans Saints, Ferguson caught two touchdowns in the red zone and was used all over the formation, a development that is exciting for the second-year tight end. "Coming in (last year), I never expected to play the positions I'm playing. Being able to play F, Z, Y, and X, all of them together, it's definitely been a big jump." Ranked as the TE21 in RotoBaller's positional rankings, Ferguson is a high-upside tight end to target in the late rounds of fantasy drafts.

Terrance Ferguson Set for TE1 Role in Los Angeles?
The "best version" of the Los Angeles Rams' offense will have tight end Terrance Ferguson leading the team's tight ends in catches and yards, according to Nate Atkins of The Athletic. Atkins also writes that he believes Ferguson "will emerge from (the Rams' tight ends) as the player worthy of an every-week, game-planned role." A second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Ferguson recorded 11 catches for 231 yards and three touchdowns on 25 targets across 14 games (three starts) as a rookie. The Rams' tight end room is extremely crowded, featuring Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen (quadriceps), and 2026 second-rounder Max Klare. However, the Rams use multiple tight end formations at one of the highest rates in the league. Ferguson also appears to be separating himself from the pack with his strong performance this summer. His value is rising in both redraft and dynasty formats entering 2026.

Terrance Ferguson Consistently Showing Up in All Phases
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Thursday that second-year tight end Terrance Ferguson has consistently shown up in all phases -- in pass protection, in the running game, and as a receiver. McVay also said that Ferguson can play all over the formation and that he has become more comfortable in the offense going into his second year in the league. The 23-year-old former second-rounder from the University of Oregon stood out during a joint practice early this week against the Dallas Cowboys, connecting on several big pass plays with quarterback Matthew Stafford. McVay said that Ferguson "has been awesome" and that he has loved what he's done so far. L.A.'s tight end room is crowded with Ferguson, Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen, and rookie Max Klare, but Ferguson might have the most pure pass-catching upside of the group as he heads into Year 2. Most of the pass-game targets in L.A. will continue to go through receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, but in this explosive offense, Ferguson has intrigue as a low-end TE2 target with upside after averaging a hefty 21 yards per catch on 11 receptions as a rookie in 2025.

Terrance Ferguson Stands Out in Joint Practice With Cowboys
Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson is gaining hype heading into the 2026 season, and that continued with a strong day in Tuesday's joint practice against the Dallas Cowboys, according to Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Quarterback Matthew Stafford completed multiple passes to Ferguson, including a big gain on a deep crosser on what looked to be a busted coverage. Ferguson also shook defender Donovan Ezeiruaku in drop coverage on a wheel route for a big gain. The 23-year-old second-rounder from the University of Oregon last year had a big day, but it should be noted that star receiver Puka Nacua left early with a groin injury, which opened up additional targets. Still, Ferguson is a rising young TE who averaged 21 yards per catch on his 11 catches over 14 regular-season games in 2025 as a rookie. Even though L.A.'s TE room is crowded, Ferguson might have the most long-term upside of the group, and he should have an expanded role in an explosive Rams offense in Year 2. Target Ferguson as an upside TE2 in upcoming drafts.

Terrance Ferguson Drawing High Praise After Strong Offseason
Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson has been one of the team's offseason standouts, according to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated. Breer wrote that Ferguson is showing he can line up across the formation and create after the catch, with the Rams believing the 2025 second-round pick could eventually develop into one of the league's top tight ends. Ferguson's rookie stat line was modest at 11 catches for 231 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games, but most of that production came after Los Angeles made three-tight-end sets a bigger part of the offense in Week 7. He recorded 10 receptions for 210 yards and all three scores from that point forward. Colby Parkinson remains at the front of a crowded tight end room, so consistent targets are not guaranteed. Ferguson is more interesting than his rookie totals suggest, but he remains a deeper redraft option until his role becomes clearer. Dynasty managers have more reason to be encouraged by the direction of his second offseason.

Terrance Ferguson Looking to Separate Himself in Rams Deep Tight End Room
Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson is eyeing a breakout season in 2026, but it won't come easy. The 2025 second-round pick had 11 receptions on 25 targets for 231 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games last season. He saw an increase in snaps toward the end of the 2025 season, jumping from 26% in the first seven weeks to 63% from Week 12 on. However, the Rams currently have one of the deepest tight end rooms in the NFL, with Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen, and now second-round rookie Max Klare. While efficiency was there in Year 1, Ferguson will have to separate himself as the clear-cut TE1 in this room to have a chance to contribute in most fantasy formats this season. Unless a trade or injury happens to a tight end on this team, Ferguson is a late-round flyer at best.

Terrance Ferguson's Second-Half Breakout Cold Spill into 2026
The Los Angeles Rams spent their top draft pick in 2025 in the second round at pick No. 46 on tight end Terrance Ferguson, with plans of stashing him for a potential breakout in 2026, according to Nate Atkins of The Athletic. Ferguson, who hails from the University of Oregon, barely saw the field in the first half of his rookie campaign, and he finished with only 11 receptions on 25 targets for 231 yards and three touchdowns in 14 regular-season games. However, the Rams found a way to use him by midseason by running two- and three-tight end sets at the highest rate in the league, which led to Ferguson catching 10 passes for 210 yards and three touchdowns in the final 10 games. His 21 yards per catch would have ranked second in the NFL last year on large volume. The Rams still have Colby Parkinson and Tyler Higbee and drafted Max Klare this year, but Ferguson should be more involved in Year 2, and he should have plenty of room to run with defenses focusing most of their attention on star receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. RotoBaller has Ferguson ranked as the No. 13 fantasy TE in 2026, making him a second-year sleeper to target if you decide to wait on the position in fantasy drafts.

Terrance Ferguson Could Take Big Step Forward in 2026
The Los Angeles Rams have a crowded group of tight ends entering the 2026 season, but several people in the Rams' building have pointed to Terrance Ferguson as a player they think will take a step forward this year, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN. Fellow TE Tyler Higbee said that the position is "one of the tougher" spots to transition from college to the NFL, but that Ferguson has "got it." "He's going to be a great player," Higbee said. The 23-year-old caught just 11 passes on 25 targets for 231 yards and three touchdowns in 14 regular-season games (three starts) in 2025 after the Rams took him in the second round (46th overall) out of the University of Oregon. The Rams took Max Klare in the second round back in April, and they also have Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen at the position, making it an uphill battle for regular targets at the position in an offense where both receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams will continue to draw most of the aerial targets from quarterback Matthew Stafford. Ferguson might have the most long-term pass-catching upside of anyone in the Rams' TE room, but fantasy managers are going to have to play the long game here.

Can Terrance Ferguson Still be the Tight End to Roster in Los Angeles?
Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson faces even more competition in 2026 than he did last season, but the opportunity still exists for him to separate himself as the organization's tight end of the future. In addition to returning veterans Colby Parkinson and Tyler Higbee, the Rams spent a second-round pick on Ohio State tight end prospect Max Klare. While that's some serious draft capital, we can't discount the late-season emergence that Ferguson displayed last year. The Oregon product had five catches, 87 yards, and two touchdowns over his final two games as a rookie in 2025, and he's a potential breakout candidate heading into Year 2. For what it's worth, the expert rankers agree. Despite the addition of Klare, Ferguson still ranks as the overall TE29 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.

Terrance Ferguson No Longer the Unquestioned Future TE1 in Los Angeles?
Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson's dynasty value took a significant hit during the 2026. NFL Draft. The Rams spent their second-round pick on Ohio State's Max Klare, who is a pass-catching tight end with high upside. It seems as though Los Angeles is refusing to let Ferguson have an easy path to the No. 1 tight end role. Not only is Klare an obstacle for him, but the Rams also re-signed Tyler Higbee, who should continue to have a significant role within the position group. It's not completely crazy to suggest that Ferguson could fall as low as fourth on the depth chart behind Colby Parkinson, Higbee, and Klare. In all likelihood, we'll see a frustrating dynamic similar to what the Rams showed near the end of last season when they incorporated multiple tight ends. Ferguson had one catch over four games from Week 12-15, then randomly broke out with touchdowns in back-to-back contests. Meanwhile, Parkinson was the TE67 from Week 1-9, then jumped to TE4 from Week 10-18. If the Rams adopt a similar approach to handling the tight end position, it will be tough to know which Rams tight end to start in a given week, if any at all. Maybe Ferguson's dynasty outlook will get clearer after Parkinson's contract expires next March, but for now, this is a crowded position group that we want no part of. Ferguson can be avoided in redraft leagues, and he's a fringe top-30 tight end in dynasty formats.

Can Terrance Ferguson Establish a More Consistent Role in 2026?
The number 46 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson had a quiet year as a rookie. Across 14 games, the 23-year-old recorded just 11 receptions for 231 yards and three touchdowns on 25 targets. Ferguson's path to playing time in Los Angeles was largely blocked off by Rams tight ends Colby Parkinson and Tyler Higbee, both of whom will be back in the mix in 2026. Still, Ferguson's impressive average of 21 yards per reception as a rookie and his pre-draft pedigree dictate some reason for upside for fantasy managers. Additionally, Los Angeles uses multiple tight end sets as much as any offense in the NFL, which could allow Ferguson to carve out a significant role alongside the Rams' veteran tight ends. In dynasty formats, now might be the ideal time for managers to buy low on Ferguson.

Terrance Ferguson a Sneaky Dynasty Buy?
Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson is trending up in dynasty leagues ahead of the 2026 season. On the surface, managers may be hesitant to buy Ferguson in dynasty leagues. After all, Colby Parkinson had a strong 2025 campaign, and the team unexpectedly re-signed Tyler Higbee. The two combined for 68 catches, 689 yards, and 11 touchdowns, leaving very few targets to be distributed to other members of the position group. However, taking a closer look at this offense reveals a clear path to production for Ferguson. Parkinson is due for significant touchdown regression and has not previously shown that he can be a true No. 1 tight end. Meanwhile, Higbee is getting older and becoming injury-prone after missing 21 games over the last two seasons. That opens the door for Ferguson, who had five catches, 87 yards, and two touchdowns over his final two games as a rookie in 2025. Year 2 is a common time for tight ends to break out, and Ferguson has significant draft capital attached to him as a former second-round pick. We wouldn't be surprised if the Oregon product makes a tremendous leap given his strong finish to 2025, his draft capital, and his teammates' projected downturns.

Terrance Ferguson Should See "Significant Uptick" in Snap Share
The Athletic's Nate Atkins believes that Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson's first offseason in an NFL strength program should lead to a "significant uptick" in the former second-rounder's 39% snap share and 25 targets from his rookie campaign. The Rams leaned into three-tight-end sets for the first time under head coach Sean McVay in 2025 and had the highest rate in the league. It's clear they plan to run that approach back after re-signing veteran Tyler Higbee this offseason. Ferguson should help to offset the Rams' lack of depth at receiver behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Colby Parkinson is the Rams' third TE who will continue to be involved in the rotation. Ferguson, 23, finished his first year in the league with 11 receptions on 25 targets for 231 yards and three touchdowns in 14 regular-season games. He battled through a hamstring down the stretch, which hurt his playing time, but he could be a bigger part of a high-scoring Rams' offense in 2026. Still, with both Higbee and Parkinson involved, Ferguson's fantasy ceiling will be limited.

Terrance Ferguson Won't Have Clear Path to Expanded Role
Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson was selected with the 46th overall pick in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft out of Oregon. In his first NFL season, the 23-year-old only caught 11 passes on 25 targets for 231 yards and three touchdowns in 14 regular-season games (three starts) while serving primarily as the TE3 behind Tyler Higbee and Colby Parkinson. He did finish off the regular season last year with five catches for 87 yards and two touchdowns on eight targets in the last two games of the regular season, but he caught just one pass for 19 yards in two playoff games to end his first year in the NFL. The Rams recently re-signed Tyler Higbee for another season, so Ferguson's path to fantasy relevance will be difficult as he enters his sophomore season in L.A. Ferguson isn't a bad dynasty stash, but in redraft leagues this fall, he'll be avoidable.

Terrance Ferguson Trending Up After Strong End to Rookie Season
Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson took a while to get going, but he finally found a groove near the end of his rookie campaign. He had just five catches through the first four weeks, operating as the third or fourth option on the depth chart behind Tyler Higbee, Colby Parkinson, and sometimes Davis Allen. However, he saw his snap share jump to a season-high 78% in Week 15, and over his next three games, he totaled six catches for 93 yards and a pair of touchdowns. With Tyler Higbee headed for free agency, it seems like Ferguson has a real chance to step up as the Rams' 1B tight end alongside Parkinson next year. It may be a bit early to pursue him in redraft leagues, but he's trending up as an intriguing buy in dynasty formats.

Terrance Ferguson Looking to Regain Late-Season Form
Los Angeles Rams rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson recorded a touchdown in each of his final two regular-season games. After missing two weeks with a hamstring injury, he returned for last week's Divisional Round win over the Bears and was targeted five times. Unfortunately, he was able to collect only one of those looks, finishing his first career playoff game with a single catch for 19 yards. With Los Angeles using a heavy deployment of jumbo packages down the stretch, Ferguson should see the field plenty against a Seahawks defense that has excelled against fantasy running backs and wide receivers while finishing in the middle of the pack against tight ends. Colby Parkinson is likely the safest bet out of the Rams' crowded tight end room, given his steady usage near the goal line, but Ferguson may be the most talented of the bunch, and he is RotoBaller's TE5 for Conference Championship Weekend.

Terrance Ferguson Hard to Trust in Crowded TE Situation in L.A.
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.

Terrance Ferguson Ready to Return in Divisional Round
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.
