Who Should I Start? Cade Stover or Terrance Ferguson

Monday, September 8, 2:53 PM

Houston Texans second-year tight end Cade Stover (foot) broke his foot in Sunday's game against the Rams and will be out indefinitely. On a day where the Texans' passing attack found limited success, Stover led the team with four catches, which he turned into 22 yards. After a quiet rookie season, it's unlikely Stover was rostered in many leagues, and that will unfortunately remain the case after one of the best games of his young career. With Christian Kirk (hamstring) still sidelined, the Texans are in desperate need of secondary options in the passing game to take some of the defensive attention away from Nico Collins. The best bet will be second-round rookie receiver Jayden Higgins, who will look to top his two-catch debut; however, behind a struggling offensive line, the Texans' offense as a whole could continue to look sluggish, making Collins the only reliable weekly starter.

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.
