Who Should I Start? Payne Durham or Terrance Ferguson

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.
