Who Should I Start? Theo Johnson or Terrance Ferguson

Tuesday, November 10, 9:13 AM

Los Angeles Rams second-year tight end Terrance Ferguson (ankle, hamstring) was on the verge of returning from Injured Reserve to play in Week 9 against the Washington Commanders before he pulled his hamstring in practice last Friday. Ferguson will now miss "another couple weeks" with his hamstring injury, and the problem is that he is still on IR, and the Rams already started his 21-day clock to be activated. If Ferguson is not activated by Nov. 25, he must remain on IR for the rest of the season. The Rams expect Ferguson to return this season, but head coach Sean McVay could not say with 100% certainty that he will be back because of the timing of his return clock starting last week, according to Cameron DaSilva of Rams Wire. It is more bad news for a Rams offense that has its two top receivers -- Puka Nacua (knee, toe) and Davante Adams (hamstring) on IR. With all of the team's injuries, the Rams cannot afford to activate a player who might not contribute right away. "He was a guy that we had huge plans for going into this season, and I think he showed some real flashes of why we did, and unfortunately, the injuries have prevented him," McVay said. Ferguson has the upside to be the Rams' top pass-catching TE when healthy again, which still makes him worth stashing in deeper fantasy leagues as he recovers from ankle and hamstring injuries.
