Sleeper trending/drop: Terrance Ferguson (12487) count=16224 (Δ16224 vs prior poll)
Adds: Terrance Ferguson. Drops: Juwan Johnson
The NFL is a copycat league, and trends like 13 personnel and chess piece on defense can explode across the league. The Rams used 13 personnel at the highest rate in the league last season, unlocking an MVP season from Matthew Stafford
Myles Garrett still out of practice due to minor knee swelling, Rams coach Sean McVay downplays his absence
Ferguson (undisclosed) was working off to the side at Tuesday's practice, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports. It's unclear what kind of ailment Ferguson is dealing with, but he's at least healthy enough to do workouts on a side field with the training staff. The second-year tight end has been a hype piece all offseason and appears to have a chance to emerge as the Rams' de facto WR3 behind Puka Nacua (groin) and Davante Adams this season. Los Angeles will use a heavy dose of its tight ends, and Ferguson has easily the most playmaking ability of the group. Tyler Higbee and Colby Parkinson are expected to serve in more traditional roles at the position while Ferguson works mainly as a pass catcher
Sleeper status change for Terrance Ferguson (12487). Before: status=Active, injury_status=—. After: status=Active, injury_status=Questionable
Terrance Ferguson missed practice due to unknown reasons, but remained active with side workouts
The Rams have expanded Ferguson's route tree this summer now that he's more comfortably with the playbook in his second season, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports. Ferguson has been one of the biggest playmakers at Rams camp, and with Puka Nacua dealing with a groin injury that has forced him to miss multiple practices, Ferguson is getting more reps and targets with Matthew Stafford. After being used as a part-time field-stretcher at tight end as a rookie, Ferguson has seen reps out wide, in the slot and attached to the line during training camp. With little experienced pass-catching depth behind Nacua and Davante Adams, the Rams are looking for a third piece in the passing offense, and Ferguson appears to be running with the opportunity. He's gaining steam in fantasy football as a late-round option

Terrance Ferguson expected to lead Rams' tight ends in catches and yards, emerging as an every-week, game-planned role
Los Angeles Rams tight end Max Klare caught seven of his eight targets for 37 yards during Saturday's preseason contest against the Kansas City Chiefs. Klare, a second-round pick, made a huge impression during his NFL preseason debut. He fetched targets from both Stetson Bennett and Ty Simpson, and while he showed a decent rapport with both, he definitely clicked more with Simpson, the Rams' first-round pick out of Alabama. Klare and Simpson will be a duo to watch for several years to come, but it could take a little while for them to emerge as weekly fantasy threats. Simpson is waiting in the wings behind Matthew Stafford at quarterback, and Klare is a bit buried on the tight end depth chart behind Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee, and Terrance Ferguson. Nevertheless, there's long-term appeal here, as the Ohio State product ranks as the TE23 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Thursday that second-year tight end Terrance Ferguson has consistently shown up in all phases -- in pass protection, in the running game, and as a receiver. McVay also said that Ferguson can play all over the formation and that he has become more comfortable in the offense going into his second year in the league. The 23-year-old former second-rounder from the University of Oregon stood out during a joint practice early this week against the Dallas Cowboys, connecting on several big pass plays with quarterback Matthew Stafford. McVay said that Ferguson "has been awesome" and that he has loved what he's done so far. L.A.'s tight end room is crowded with Ferguson, Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen, and rookie Max Klare, but Ferguson might have the most pure pass-catching upside of the group as he heads into Year 2. Most of the pass-game targets in L.A. will continue to go through receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, but in this explosive offense, Ferguson has intrigue as a low-end TE2 target with upside after averaging a hefty 21 yards per catch on 11 receptions as a rookie in 2025
Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson impressed during joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys, catching multiple passes from Matthew Stafford, including a deep gain and a wheel route. With Puka Nacua leaving early due to injury, Ferguson saw increased targets and is noted for his 21 yards per catch average as a rookie. Despite a crowded tight end room, Ferguson is considered to have the most long-term upside and is expected to have an expanded role in the Rams' offense in his second year
Ferguson was a standout performer during the Rams' joint practice with the Cowboys on Tuesday, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports. Star wideout Puka Nacua (groin) made an early exit from practice; that opened up extra targets for others, and Ferguson looks to have been one of the main beneficiaries. According to play-by-play notes provided by Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Ferguson notched at least four receptions, two of which went for big gains. Ferguson had an excellent pass-catching profile coming out of Oregon, and he averaged an impressive 21.0 yards per reception on 11 catches as a rookie second-round pick in 2025. Though the Rams maintain a crowded tight-end room heading into 2026, Ferguson should still see his role grow in Year 2 while head coach Sean McVay frequently favors two- or three-tight-end sets
This year's tight end class will be an interesting one to track for a couple of reasons. The first is that it has a number of highly athletic, undersized options at the position. If you saw the body types that came off the board on Day 2 last spring, you know undersized is not necessarily what the NFL is looking for at the position. The second is that with NIL, I could easily see half of the top-10 prospects listed below not even declaring when given the opportunity for the first time in January. With tight end usage exploding around the league and the position representing nine of the top 100 picks last April, teams are no longer treating their second and third tight ends as afterthoughts. Positional rankings: IOL • S • LB • DT • TE • OT • RB • CB • EDGE • WR • QB Note: ⭐️ represents each player's 247Sports star rating as a high school recruit There's a very good chance Oregon claims the draft's TE1 in back-to-back years. Truthfully, Jamari Johnson already could have been TE2 behind Kenyon Sadiq last spring if he declared. He returned for his fourth season to be the top dog at the position in an Oregon offense that's turning into a tight end factory after Terrance Ferguson went 46th overall the year prior. Johnson is a more traditional tight end than Sadiq, with a broad frame and inline potential. He doesn't possess the raw explosiveness of last year's 16th overall pick, but he's a fluid and graceful route-runner. I love the way he consistently plucks the ball away from his frame. He has the kind of game that could easily translate to a first-round selection if he sees a big leap in production this fall. Oregon TE Jamari Johnson moves so damn well for a player of his size (6'5", 257 pounds) pic.twitter.com/I5Bs23UXzJ Luke Reynolds is another tight end who hasn't technically been a starter yet, but obviously has the goods when you flip on the tape. He's a former five-star recruit who saw meaningful time as a freshman and sophomore at Penn State before transferring to Virginia Tech in the spring. I love his ability to run a full route tree with fantastic footwork for a prototypically sized tight end. As a blocker, his tape was pretty advanced for a true sophomore last year. All that's missing from making him a top-50 pick is high-end production in a featured role. Tight end Luke Reynolds with a nice move and catch. Got up and loudly yelled, “And it’s two f*^%ing feet! And it’s two f*^%ing feet!” #Hokies pic.twitter.com/uOJ8V9AZX6 Terrance Carter Jr . was difficult to rank because he's filling a different role altogether from anyone else on this list. He measured 6-foot-2 ¼ and 245 pounds last spring. That would make him the shortest starting tight end in the NFL currently, although it's not without historical precedent. Dustin Keller and Jordan Reed are the most productive recent examples at that height, but Carter reminds me a little of the 6-foot-1 Delanie Walker because of his blocking prowess. Carter gets after it in the run game. With multiple tight ends becoming en vogue, his ability to block in space and on the move can be a weapon in an NFL offense. As a receiver, he has the goods to get by as an undersized option because he moves like a running back in space. He's easily the best returning tight end with the ball in his hands and had 23 broken tackles after the catch last season. He won't be for everybody, but he can thrive in the league in a carved-out role. #TexasTech TE Terrance Carter Jr. is at his best making players miss in the open field and creating big gains with the football in his hands. The Louisiana Lafayette transfer has had 344 of his 552 receiving yards come after the catch and is a matchup nightmare for LBs. pic.twitter.com/6CPvRjrusX Players with Trey'Dez Green 's frame and athleticism are far more frequently found on hardwood than on turf. While we don't have an official wingspan measurement for the over 6-foot-6 tight end yet, chances are it will beat Michael Trigg's 84 ⅜ inches last [... truncated ...]
The Rams are going to be short a tight end for a little while. Head coach Sean McVay told reporters on Monday that Davis Allen is going to miss “some time” as he recovers from a quad injury. McVay said the team does not want to rush Allen back because of their plans for him this season. “Davis is going to be a big part of what we do,” McVay said, via Stu Jackson of the team’s website. Allen played in every game for the Rams last season and made six starts. He had 24 catches for 208 yards and three touchdowns in the regular season. Tyler Higbee, Colby Parkinson, Terrance Ferguson, and second-round pick Max Klare remain on hand at tight end
Sleeper trending/add: Terrance Ferguson (12487) count=4216 (Δ4216 vs prior poll)
Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson has been one of the team's offseason standouts, according to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated. Breer wrote that Ferguson is showing he can line up across the formation and create after the catch, with the Rams believing the 2025 second-round pick could eventually develop into one of the league's top tight ends. Ferguson's rookie stat line was modest at 11 catches for 231 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games, but most of that production came after Los Angeles made three-tight-end sets a bigger part of the offense in Week 7. He recorded 10 receptions for 210 yards and all three scores from that point forward. Colby Parkinson remains at the front of a crowded tight end room, so consistent targets are not guaranteed. Ferguson is more interesting than his rookie totals suggest, but he remains a deeper redraft option until his role becomes clearer. Dynasty managers have more reason to be encouraged by the direction of his second offseason
Terrance Ferguson hopes for a breakout season amidst competition in the Rams' deep tight end room
According to the link below, the Los Angeles Rams are ranked dead last by ESPN in terms of talented players under the age of 25 on their roster. That’s a very specific stat that doesn’t have to have much bearing in 2026. It could I suppose matter in terms of depth, but there are plenty of players older than 25 across the NFL who are in their prime. But, sure, it’s interesting. There’s plenty of other interesting things going on such as Aaron Donald talk, the Rams gearing up for a real sun at the Super Bowl, training camp will be underway. It’s a good time to be a football fan. The calm before the storm, if you will. Thank you for checking out Turf Show Times and have a great Thursday! “Perhaps you have heard that the Rams are not as fond of first-round draft picks as other teams? Certainly, trades they have made for veterans contribute to the fact that while Los Angeles has a ton of talent, very little of it is under 25 years old. “The Rams have only two players currently under 25 who started games last season: safety Kamren Kinchens , who will be 24 at the end of September, and tight end Terrance Ferguson , who is also 23. Another one of the tight ends, second-round rookie Max Klare, just turned 23 on July 8. “First-round quarterback Simpson will turn 24 in December. The Rams hopeSimpson doesn’t get on the field for a couple of seasons because they have someone much older they would rather see under center: reigning MVP Matthew Stafford , who is 38 years old.” “The contest is void where prohibited by law. 1.

He’s going to go through his process. And the one thing about Aaron Donald is, what he does, he does it full speed ahead.”
