Who Should I Start? Juwan Johnson or Terrance Ferguson

Saturday, September 13, 7:24 PM

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson has been a favorite target of current Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler. Johnson was Rattler's most targeted receiver (33) in 2024, and he led New Orleans in targets (eight) in Week 1 of 2025. Per ESPN's Katherine Terrell, Rattler said that he and Johnson have a "great connection going back to last year." Johnson could be a sneaky low-end fantasy starter at tight end early in the season, particularly while Saints tight ends Taysom Hill (knee) and Foster Moreau (knee) remain sidelined.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson showed some flashes of receiving ability during the preseason, but his blocking remains a work in progress as Los Angeles approaches Week 1. Though that might not be top-of-mind from a fantasy perspective, it will impact how much the rookie sees the field and ultimately how much he gets targeted. Tyler Higbee is still L.A.'s top tight end, but the Rams clearly saw the promise in Ferguson by using a second-round pick to acquire him. As something of a project, Ferguson has more value in dynasty formats, but his receiving ability could present deep sleeper appeal in redraft leagues, too.
