Juwan Johnson vs Terrance Ferguson: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Juwan Johnson and Terrance Ferguson is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The New Orleans Saints tight end put up 8.3 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Terrance Ferguson of the Los Angeles Rams averaged 3.3 in 14. A 5.0-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 5.0 points favors Juwan Johnson, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one tight end to the other.
Juwan Johnson is the volume tight end in this matchup with 77 receptions for 889 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 Juwan Johnson, but the floor gap is real.
Juwan Johnson has his bye in Week 12, and Terrance Ferguson rests in Week 6. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at tight end for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
