Rams expect breakout season from tight end Terrance Ferguson in 2026
Summary

The Los Angeles Rams anticipate a significant increase in the role of tight end Terrance Ferguson during the 2026 season. Ferguson, a second-round draft pick, had a modest 231-yard rookie season but is expected to benefit from more targets in the offense. With wide receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams drawing defensive attention, Ferguson may find more opportunities to excel. Analysts suggest that the strategy to rest him in his first season positions him for a breakout year ahead. Coached by Sean McVay and with quarterback Matthew Stafford throwing to him, Ferguson could emerge as a key player in the Rams' offensive scheme.
