Should I Start Terrance Ferguson?

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.
