Kyle Pitts vs Terrance Ferguson: Who Should You Start?
The numbers tell a clear story here. Kyle Pitts put up 9.8 fantasy points per game for the Atlanta Falcons in 2025, while Terrance Ferguson managed 3.3 across 14 games with the Los Angeles Rams. A 6.5-point weekly edge is substantial at the tight end position.
A 6.5-PPG gap gives Kyle Pitts the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.
Kyle Pitts is the volume tight end in this matchup with 88 receptions for 928 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 Kyle Pitts, but the floor gap is real.
Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Kyle Pitts sits Week 12 while Terrance Ferguson is off Week 6. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.
