Rams TEs Terrance Ferguson (ankle) and TE Colby Parkinson (knee, shoulder) were sidelined for Wednesday's practice. Ferguson is expected to miss this weekend's game vs. the Eagles, and Parkinson might join him on the inactive list. That'd leave Tyler Higbee as the Rams' top TE, but the matchup vs. the Eagles and the return of WR Puka Nacua would still leave him short of TE1 appeal.

Rams TE Terrance Ferguson suffered a medial ankle sprain in Sunday night's loss to the Broncos and will likely miss Week 4, HC Sean McVay said. TE Colby Parkinson sprained the AC joint in his shoulder vs. Denver but is considered "day to day," per McVay, seemingly giving him a chance to play this weekend. TE Tyler Higbee stepped up to catch 8 of 11 targets for 62 yards and a score with the Rams undermanned vs. the Broncos. He could be a desperation option for fantasy teams if Parkinson joins Ferguson on the sidelines this Sunday, though a tough matchup against the Eagles limits his upside.

For the third straight week to open the season, the Rams had a different scoring leader at TE. Davis Allen led the room in Week 1, Terrance Ferguson did it in Week 2, and Tyler Higbee took over in Week 3. Higbee hauled in eight of 11 targets for 62 yards and a TD, good for a TE1 finish in Week 3.

Rams TE Terrance Ferguson injured his right ankle in the first quarter of Sunday night's game vs. the Broncos. He hobbled off the field, went into the medical tent, and eventually headed back to the locker room with trainers. We'll update his status when we know more.

Rams WR Puka Nacua (hip) is inactive for tonight's game against the Broncos. He reportedly has a chance to return for Week 4, although ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported this morning that surgery has not been ruled out if Nacua doesn’t improve. We’ll keep you posted on his progress. WR Davante Adams and TE Terrance Ferguson are the Rams’ best target bets tonight.

Rams WR Puka Nacua (hip) will be listed as doubtful for Sunday night's game against the Broncos, HC Sean McVay said Friday. Nacua didn't practice all week and does not have a clear timetable for return. WR Davante Adams (32% target share) and TE Terrance Ferguson (29%) dominated passing-game work with Nucua out last week. We're expecting a similar attack in Denver.

Update: McVay said Nacua is expected back for Week 4, barring a setback between now and then, per ESPN's Sarah Barshop.

Rams HC Sean McVay was non-committal on WR Puka Nacua's status for Week 3 on Tuesday, saying only that he's "hopeful" Nacua will be available. "When you have soft tissue injuries with guys like that that are skill players, you're going to err on the side of caution," McVay added. We'll keep a close eye on Nacua's status throughout this week, but fantasy managers might again be in a tough spot with the Rams playing the Broncos on Sunday night. WR Davante Adams (8-195-2 on 10 targets) and TE Terrance Ferguson (6-54-1 on 9 targets) were the big winners of Nacua's absence in Monday night's win over the Giants.

In a lopsided win for the Rams without their star WR active, it was a career day for their second-year TE Terrance Ferguson. Last year’s second round pick produced 6 receptions on nine targets for 54 yards and a touchdown, in what was a career-high 17.4 PPR point performance.

Rams WR Puka Nacua (hip) is inactive for tonight's game vs. the Giants. He went through what sounded like a half-speed warmup but didn't get the green light. We'll see if he can make it back for Sunday night's game vs. the Broncos. Nacua's absence leaves a giant hole in the Rams' passing game. WR Davante Adams is the best target bet, and we'll likely see plenty of 2- and 3-TE sets. TE Terrance Ferguson is a candidate for a big role in the passing game tonight.

Rams WR Puka Nacua (hip) will not practice today and will be listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Giants, HC Sean McVay said. That's two missed practices in a row for Nacua after he was not listed on Thursday's injury report. We'll look for further updates on his status but might not find out whether he's playing until we get inactives around 7 pm ET on Monday. Nacua would carry elevate risk if he suits up but would still be a strong fantasy play. The late kickoff obviously puts fantasy managers in a tough spot, though. Malachi Fields and Jordan Whittington are the top widely available players from that game that can be added as insurance. TE Terrance Ferguson could also see a spike in usage if Nacua sits and could be used in place of Nacua in a flex spot.

Update: Whittington will be listed as doubtful with a quad injury, McVay said. That leaves Davante Adams, Xavier Smith, Konata Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell, and C.J. Daniels as the Rams' healthy WRs.

Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated writes that the Rams think TE Terrance Ferguson could "grow into one of the NFL's best tight ends." Per Breer, Ferguson put together a "fantastic offseason," showcasing the versatility to play multiple alignments and the run-after-catch skills the Rams covet.

The Athletic's Nate Atkins tabbed TE Terrance Ferguson the Rams' 2026 breakout player. Ferguson caught just 11 of 25 targets as a rookie last year, but his 21.0 yards per catch led all TEs and ranked third among all 242 players who saw 20+ targets.

The Los Angeles Rams selected Ohio State TE Max Klare in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Klare broke out as a redshirt sophomore at Purdue in 2024, leading the team in all major receiving categories and registering a strong 30.9% dominator rating. His 2.22 yards per route ranked 11th among 85 FBS WRs with 30+ targets. Klare transferred to Ohio State for the 2025 campaign and wasn’t as productive playing behind first-round WR Carnell Tate and future first-round WR Jeremiah Smith. But Klare finished third on the Buckeyes in catches (43) and receiving yards (448). The 6’4, 246-pounder is a well-rounded TE. He ran 47% of his college routes from the slot and 43% inline. Klare creates mismatches with his burst, runs tight routes, and is a serviceable blocker. He doesn’t boast the upside of Kenyon Sadiq or Eli Stowers, but Klare can develop into a fantasy TE1.

Rams TE Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report for Sunday's Divisional Round game vs. the Bears. We're expecting the rookie to slot in third among Los Angeles' TEs in routes, behind Colby Parkinson and Tyler Higbee.

Rams TE Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) is inactive for today's game vs. the Panthers. That should leave Colby Parkinson and Tyler Higbee as the clear top two TEs in terms of pass routes, with Davis Allen the No. 3.
