Terrance Ferguson Fantasy Overview

2025 Role & Results

A Quiet Rookie Season

Ferguson spread 11 catches, 231 yards, and 3 TDs across 14 games.

He posted his best two PPR fantasy finishes (TE13 and TE9) with Davante Adams sidelined. The rookie scored in both matchups.

Otherwise, he finished only one other week inside the top 24.

Ferguson Used Like a WR

The Rams leaned into Ferguson’s speed, which showed up at the NFL Combine with an 81st-percentile 40-yard dash and a 91st-percentile 10-yard split, per MockDraftable.

His 18.3-yard average depth of target led all 58 TEs with 25+ targets and ranked third among all 243 players with 25+ targets. He also moved around plenty, running 46.2% of his routes from the slot and 23.7% out wide.

Ferguson simply wasn’t a large part of the Rams’ offense, though. His 5.5% target share ranked seventh on the team and 55th among TEs.

The Stafford-to-Ferguson Connection Needs Work

Ferguson proved boom or bust on his opportunities.

He caught only 44% of his targets but made them count with a massive 21.0 yards per catch. His 1.38 yards per route run ranked third among Rams TEs, behind Colby Parkinson’s 1.67 and Tyler Higbee’s 1.49.

Ferguson’s connection with Matthew Stafford will be worth watching in Year 2. In 2025, Ferguson saw just a 60% catchable target rate, last among 54 TEs with 25+ targets.

Rams Supply a Proven Offense

Ferguson at least plays in a strong offense. Last year’s Rams received an MVP season from Stafford. The 38-year-old played all 17 games and led the league in passing yards (4,707) and TDs (46).

The Rams also finished top-8 in total plays, pass rate over expected, and red-zone pass rate over expected.

Two Missed Games

Ferguson missed Week 18 and the Wild Card Round with a hamstring injury. He returned to catch one of six targets for 19 yards over the Rams' final two postseason games.

2026 Opportunity & Projection

Rams Add Another Round 2 TE

Ferguson will have a chance to lead Rams TEs in production this season. Beat writer Nate Atkins of The Athletic even wrote in May that the Rams “hope” Ferguson “takes the lead” in the TE group.

First, he’ll need to beat out the deepest TE group in the league. Colby Parkinson enters a contract year after leading the unit with 43 catches, 408 yards, and 8 TDs, and in 12 shared games he beat Ferguson in targets (46 to 25), catches (35 to 11), yards (361 to 231), and TDs (6 to 3).

The Rams added even more talent to the TE room with Round 2 pick Max Klare. He finished third on Ohio State in receiving last year and brings the hands and route-running chops to contribute early.

Then there’s Tyler Higbee, who returned this offseason on a two-year deal. His $3.4 million in guarantees ranks just 48th among TEs (per Spotrac), and his 21 missed games over the past two seasons suggest the Rams can’t count on him for a sizable role.

Even if Ferguson leads Rams TEs in fantasy scoring, the edge figures to be thin in an offense that still runs through Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Their 55.1% combined target share led all WR duos last season.

Ferguson's Involvement Should Rise in Year 2

L.A. led the league in 1-RB, 3-TE sets (“13” personnel) last year at 30.5%, well ahead of the No. 2 team (Pittsburgh, 14.2%). Interestingly, the Rams finished with the third-lowest rate of 2-TE sets (9.6%).

The Rams lost OC Mike LaFleur to the Cardinals, but this has long been HC Sean McVay’s offense. Look for the Rams to continue leaning into 3-TE sets, especially after spending a high pick at TE in back-to-back drafts.

Paths To Ceiling

Ferguson needs a Year 2 leap, a larger role, and continued efficiency.

Ferguson also needs Stafford to hold off decline after leading the NFL in passing yards (4,707) and TDs (46) while finishing third in attempts (597) last year.

The Rams also ranked top-8 in total plays, pass rate over expected, and red-zone pass rate over expected, all key for a TE unlikely to rank near the top of the position in snaps and route rate.
