Who Should I Start? Tyler Conklin or Terrance Ferguson

Former New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin reached an agreement on an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday with the Los Angeles Chargers, according to his agent, Mike McCartney. Conklin heads to the AFC West after spending the last three years with the Jets, where he had 170 catches on 246 targets for 1,622 yards and seven touchdowns in 50 games (43 starts). While the 29-year-old did have a career-high four touchdowns in 16 games (15 starts) last year, he had just 51 catches and 449 yards (his lowest total since 2020) on 72 targets. The former fifth-round selection (157th overall) by the Minnesota Vikings in 2018 out of Central Michigan has the opportunity to be the Chargers' top pass-catching tight end in 2025, but he'll also be sharing playing time with Will Dissly. Dissly had a very similar 50-481-2 line to Conklin a year ago in L.A. Expect Conklin to be a touchdown-dependent TE2 in fantasy in his new home.

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.
