Terrance Ferguson vs Theo Johnson: Who Should You Start?
Two tight ends who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Terrance Ferguson (Los Angeles Rams) finished the 2025 season averaging 3.3 fantasy points per game in 14 games. Theo Johnson (New York Giants) came in at 7.0 PPG over 15 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Theo Johnson carries a 3.7-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Theo Johnson is the volume tight end in this matchup with 45 receptions for 528 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 Theo Johnson, but the floor gap is real.
One scheduling note: Terrance Ferguson is off Week 6 and Theo Johnson Week 11. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in tight end for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
