Who Should I Start? Tanner Conner or Terrance Ferguson

Thursday, October 30, 10:23 AM

In the TE3 range for Week 9, Miami Dolphins tight end Tanner Conner should not be considered a starting option when Miami takes on the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football. The fourth-year tight end is playing more with Darren Waller (pectoral) on injured reserve, but isn't earning nearly enough work in the passing game to be relied upon in a fantasy lineup. Despite Waller missing significant chunks of the season, Conner has played more than half of Miami's snaps only once in eight weeks and has yet to catch more than two passes in a game this season. As Miami leans on receiver Jaylen Waddle, running back De'Von Achane, and receiver Malik Washington for the majority of its targets, there isn't enough receiving opportunity for Conner to be a fantasy option.

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.
