Terrance Ferguson vs T.J. Hockenson: Who Should You Start?
If you are choosing between Terrance Ferguson and T.J. Hockenson for your lineup, you are not alone. Terrance Ferguson finished the 2025 season at 3.3 PPG for the Los Angeles Rams (14 games), and T.J. Hockenson averaged 5.8 for the Minnesota Vikings (15 games).
That 2.5-point weekly advantage for T.J. Hockenson 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.
T.J. Hockenson is the volume tight end in this matchup with 51 receptions for 438 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 T.J. Hockenson, 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.
