Who Should I Start? Will Dissly or Terrance Ferguson

Saturday, January 11, 11:47 PM

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly struggled his way through a rough loss in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs against the Houston Texans. Dissly was targeted five times, making two catches for 16 yards total. He dropped a pass while completely wide open and also was unable to catch a rather easy pass that he batted and turned into an interception instead. Dissly came on as a solid and reliable high-floor fantasy tight end in the second half of the season, but he was almost solely responsible for a 14-point swing in the most important game of the season for the Chargers. Dissly signed a three-year deal before the season, so he should be expected back with the Bolts, but they'll likely look for a more traditional pass-catching tight end either in free agency or in the draft.

The Los Angeles Rams reached an agreement on Saturday with second-round tight end Terrance Ferguson on a four-year, $9,713,466 contract, including $8,046,753 in guarantees, according to his agent Steve Caric. The Rams took Ferguson with the 46th overall pick in April's NFL draft out of Oregon. The 22-year-old consistently produced for the Ducks and had his best season in 2024, catching 43 passes for 591 yards and three touchdowns. While Ferguson won't be drafted in standard-sized redraft leagues this fall, he represents valuable insurance for Tyler Higbee, who played in only three regular-season games in 2024 due to injury. Ferguson has good size at 6-foot-5 and 247 pounds, but he may need to prove to the coaching staff that he's able to handle himself as a blocker before he can overtake Higbee as the primary pass-catching TE.
