News: 2 days agoCoach Sean McVay said Monday that Ferguson "likely" will be sidelined for Sunday's game in Philadelphia, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Spin: Ferguson missed a portion of Sunday's loss at Denver to get X-rays on an ankle injury, and while he was cleared to return, he finished fourth among Rams tight ends in offensive snaps (22 of 86) behind Tyler Higbee (61), Colby Parkinson (37) and Davis Allen (31). Through three games this season, Ferguson had a 6-54-1 line on nine targets in Week 2 versus the Giants and one catch (on three targets) for nine yards in the other two contests. Now that he's slated to miss some time, the aforementioned trio likely will handle the bulk of the TE workload for L.A., though rookie Max Klare might finally see his first offensive plays.

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.
