Colby Parkinson vs Terrance Ferguson: Who Should You Start?

That 3.9-point weekly advantage for Colby Parkinson is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Colby Parkinson is the volume tight end in this matchup with 43 receptions for 408 yards, while Terrance Ferguson profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (3 scores on 11 catches). In weeks where Terrance Ferguson finds the end zone he out-scores Colby Parkinson, but the floor gap is real.
Both share a Week 6 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking tight ends this deep on your bench, plan your replacement tight end early.
