News: 9 hours agoFerguson failed to haul in his lone target during the Rams' 27-7 loss to the 49ers in Week 1.

Spin: The lone pass Ferguson saw from Matthew Stafford was on fourth-and-5 midway through the fourth quarter, which easily sailed over the second-year tight end and out of bounds. Ferguson's 31 snaps on offense were ahead of Tyler Higbee (12) but behind Colby Parkinson (41), so Ferguson's role in the Rams offense figures to mostly be as a run blocker in 12- and 13-man personnel. The Rams will host the Giants in Week 2 on Monday, Sept. 21.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Ferguson is a potential breakout candidate in his second NFL season. As expected, the 2025 second-rounder played a situational role behind the likes of Tyler Higbee, Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen as a rookie. He didn't get much run, but when he did, he was used as a vertical threat to the extreme. His 17.5 aDOT is highest by any tight end (minimum 10 targets) in at least a decade. The Rams are returning the same tight end room plus second-round pick Max Klare, so while consistent production could prove elusive, Ferguson very well could emerge as the No. 3 pass catcher behind Puka Nacua and 33-year-old Davante Adams in the Rams' elite offense. The 23-year-old, who also saw five end zone targets as a rookie, is worth a late-round lottery ticket.
