NegativeUsage0:40

Ian Hartitz notes that an injury to Davante Adams late last season helped Terrance Ferguson see an increase in his snap share.

Terrance Ferguson

PositiveBreakout0:00

Ian Hartitz identifies Terrance Ferguson as a high-upside bench stash with top-10 tight end potential by week two, contingent on him securing a route rate north of 70% in week one. Ferguson is a talented second-year player in a Rams offense that historically produces high tight end volume; he is currently being cross-trained to play every position except running back. His snap share saw a notable increase late last season following an injury to Davante Adams.

Trey McBride

PositiveProjection0:16

Ian Hartitz notes that Trey McBride 'went nuclear' last season, serving as the primary catalyst for the Cardinals ranking first in total PPR points from the tight end position.

Tutu Atwell

NegativeDepth Chart0:27

Ian Hartitz expresses skepticism regarding Tutu Atwell's reliability, noting that despite the Rams bringing him back, his previous high-value contract (reportedly $9-10 million on a one-year deal) did not prevent him from being a healthy scratch for large portions of the second half of last season.

0:00The bull case for Terrance Ferguson is
0:01pretty simple, okay? He's a [music]
0:03talented, rising second-year player in
0:05an offense that had tons of production
0:07to the position. It just wasn't
0:09centralized around one player. But
0:11seriously, [music] if we look at team
0:13PPR points just from tight ends, the
0:16Cardinals were first last year, which
0:17makes sense. Trey McBride went nuclear.
0:19Number two, though, was the Los Angeles
0:21Rams. The best case scenario for
0:23Terrance Ferguson is he is he's a
0:24starting tight end one. He's also the
0:26fact of wide receiver three. I know they
0:28brought back Tutu Atwell, but man, they
0:30gave this dude, I think, 9 or 10 million
0:32dollars last year on a one-year deal,
0:34and that still wasn't enough to prevent
0:35him from being a healthy scratch for
0:37large portions of the second half
0:38of the season. We also saw down
0:40the stretch of last season Devante Adams
0:41get injured, and that helped Terrance
0:43Ferguson
0:43>> [music]
0:43>> take a leap up in snaps. It is a
0:45situation where we've heard Sean McVay
0:47and Terrance Ferguson himself talk about
0:48it. They're pretty much asking me to
0:50learn how to play every single position
0:51on this offense other than [music]
0:53running back. I kid you not. Scouts
0:55honor, everyone. If Terrance Ferguson
0:57gets a route rate north of 70% [music]
0:59week one, he will be in my top 10 tight
1:01ends as early as week two. And that's
1:03something that, again, I think is very
1:04much worth a bench stash.
