Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Draft Advice
The Rams filled a major need by selecting Oregon tight end Terrance Ferguson. This plug-and-play starter does a great job generating yards after the catch, making him a perfect fit in Sean McVay’s offense, especially as an ancillary pass-catcher behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Ferguson slots in at rookie TE4 in dynasty, behind Colston Loveland, Tyler Warren, and Mason Taylor — expect him to slot in at the 2nd/3rd round turn in average draft position. There’s a reasonable chance that Ferguson can finish ahead of Taylor in redraft leagues since he plays in a vastly superior offense with more passing volume.

DBro’s NFL Draft Scouting Report & Player Comp
Scouting Report:
- Terrance Ferguson has enough speed to threaten down the seam. He has decent bend in his routes. He was utilized with plenty of schemed touches with screens and chip & uncovered dump-offs.
- Ferguson is an underneath weapon against zone coverage. He’s a fluid athlete with solid movement skills, but he’s not explosive and doesn’t jump off the film with his abilities after the catch or at the catch point. He could develop into a middle-of-the-road starting tight end who is a third or fourth option in an NFL passing attack.
- While blocking isn’t his main attraction, he is serviceable here. You wouldn’t want Ferguson deployed as a road-clearing lead blocker, but he can sustain his blocks when in line. Ferguson has a decent punch and can anchor well enough. He’s not an earth mover and can occasionally pull out his best matador impression against incoming rushers.
