Rams' Terrance Ferguson: Makes one catch in win
Terrance Ferguson secured one of two targets for six yards during Sunday's 41-34 win against the Lions.It was another monster week for starting tight end Colby Parkinson, as he added his fifth and sixth touchdowns in the last six contests against a porous Detroit defense. Ferguson and fellow backup Davis Allen failed to make much of an impact on the box score, although they were on the field for over three-quarters of the Los Angeles Rams' snaps on offense. What started out as a quartet of tight ends that spread their stats out evenly has skewed heavily towards Parkinson in the absence of Tyler Higbee (ankle). Ferguson's next chance for a breakout will be a tall task against divisional-rival Seattle in a Week 16 Thursday night showdown.

Rams' Terrance Ferguson: Fails to deliver in extended look
Terrance Ferguson failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 45-17 win against the Cardinals.The second-round rookie out of Oregon was on the field for a season-high 45 snaps on offense, nearly the same amount as Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen. Parkinson paced the trio with three catches for 32 yards a touchdown, while Allen had a modest two catches for 21 yards. Ferguson only earned a single target from Matthew Stafford in the blowout, however, which he failed to bring in. This is the third game in a row that Ferguson has failed to secure a target, and the fourth straight in which the rookie has gone without a catch. Ferguson will try to get back on track against a depleted Lions defense in Week 15.

Rams' Terrance Ferguson: Third straight game without a catch
Terrance Ferguson failed to secure either of his two targets during Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.Colby Parkinson has taken on the role of top tight end for the Los Angeles Rams in the absence of Tyler Higbee (ankle), and he again led the position group in all statistical categories, while Ferguson and Davis Allen (one target) were held without a catch. Until Ferguson shows consistent usage and more reliable targeting from Matthew Stafford, the second-round rookie remains difficult to trust in fantasy lineups with a divisional showdown in Arizona up next on the docket in Week 14.

Rams' Terrance Ferguson: Usage regression continues
Terrance Ferguson failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 34-7 victory against the Buccaneers.Despite Tyler Higbee (ankle) going on injured reserve, Ferguson's reduced role didn't expand, as he took the field for just 15 snaps on offense. Colby Parkinson secured all four of his targets for 41 yards and a touchdown, and Davis Allen tacked on three catches and 29 yards with his four targets. Until Ferguson earns more playing time, his opportunity for the explosive plays he's showcased in limited usage this season (27.6 YPC on five catches) will be scant, making him difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

Rams' Terrance Ferguson: Just one catch
Terrance Ferguson secured one of four targets for 32 yards during Sunday's 42-26 victory against the 49ers.Despite falling well short of the other Los Angeles Rams' tight ends in terms of playing time on Sunday (22 of 69 snaps on offense), Ferguson was involved often when he was on the field. Matthew Stafford continued targeting the second-round rookie and finally hit paydirt on a long target in the fourth quarter that set up a Kyren Williams touchdown. While Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen and Colby Parkinson continue to have a role on offense, Ferguson seems like the best opportunity for explosive plays out of the quartet. A Seahawks defense that just gave up a 9-127-1 stat line to Trey McBride is up next for Ferguson and the Rams in Week 11.

Rams' Terrance Ferguson: Season-high 54 yards in win
Terrance Ferguson secured two of three targets for 54 yards during Sunday's 34-10 victory against the Saints.Despite a light downtick in playing time from last week, Ferguson made another big impact on Sunday, catching a dart from Matthew Stafford and adding a few extra yards after catch for a 36-yard gain. Ferguson has proven to be a reliable target for explosive plays in the past few weeks, but his playing time hasn't been given a significant bump relative to starter Tyler Higbee and fellow backups Davis Allen and Colby Parkinson. In fact, Ferguson was a distant fourth in snap to the other three tight ends, which caps his upside heading into a Week 10 showdown with divisional rival San Francisco.

Rams' Terrance Ferguson: Snares first NFL touchdown
Terrance Ferguson secured one of three targets for 31 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 35-7 victory against the Jaguars.The Oregon product showcased some of the talent that led to the Los Angeles Rams using a second-round pick on him in the fourth quarter, burning past safety Andrew Wingard and securing a fourth-down pass from Matthew Stafford for a touchdown. Ferguson's usage has been ticking up over the last few weeks, and he played 34 snaps on offense Sunday, a season high. For now, the Rams are content in using all four of their tight ends in rotation, which caps the upside of the talented rookie at the moment. The Rams are on bye next week before taking on the Saints in Week 9.

Rams' Terrance Ferguson: Blanked in victory
Terrance Ferguson wasn't targeted and played 17 snaps on offense during Sunday's 17-3 victory against the Ravens.While Ferguson was unable to secure any targets on offense, he did take the field for just over 30 percent of the Los Angeles Rams' snaps on offense, a season high. Colby Parkinson (concussion) may return for Week 7 against the Jaguars in London, and with Tyler Higbee establishing himself as the top tight end in the pecking order once again, Ferguson, Parkinson and Davis Allen will share the backup tight-end duties as they've been doing for the majority of the season thus far.

Rams' Terrance Ferguson: Potential for expanded role
Head coach Sean McVay said Terrance Ferguson "is only going to get more opportunities going forward", Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports.McVay's comments come after Ferguson was active for the first time in three games. Given only four snaps on offense on Thursday against the 49ers, the rookie managed to turn his only target into a healthy 21-yard gain, which helped set up a Kyren Williams receiving touchdown a few plays later. Ferguson's second-round pedigree and a Los Angeles Rams' tight end room currently struggling to make much of an impact may help him quickly leap up the pecking order at tight end, and a Ravens defense struggling to keep points off the board may mark an opportunity for Ferguson to produce if McVay's comments bear fruit.

Rams' Terrance Ferguson: Playing Week 5
Terrance Ferguson is active for Thursday's game against the 49ers.The rookie second-rounder has been a healthy scratch for the Los Angeles Rams' last two games, but he'll be active for Thursday's NFC West tilt due to the absence of Tyler Higbee (hip). With Higbee sidelined, Ferguson likely will operate as the team's TE3 behind Davis Allen and Colby Parkinson.
