Ferguson

Ferguson’s five targets set a new high for him this season, but the rookie tight end was unable to capitalize on the volume in Sunday’s win. Ferguson came up with a 19-yard reception in the second quarter to extend a drive that was set back by a Matthew Stafford sack, but it was a forgettable day for the rookie second-rounder. He’ll hope to have a little more success in next week’s Conference Championship game against the Seahawks.

Ferguson practiced in full all three days this week and will return to the Rams’ 13-personnel sets after being inactive against the Panthers. His role was growing towards the end of the season, but with all of Davis Allen, Colby Parkinson, and Tyler Higbee also active, Ferguson will just be a DFS punt dart throw on this slate.

Earlier this week, Rams head coach Sean McVay said he was “optimistic” about Ferguson returning to action. Ferguson’s continued full participation puts him firmly on track to play in the Divisional Round against the Bears. Rams RG Kevin Dotson (ankle) remains limited.

Ferguson missed the Wild Card win over the Panthers with a hamstring injury, but head coach Sean McVay was optimistic the rookie would play this week. Though Wednesday’s practice report is an estimate, it is good news that Ferguson is listed as a full participant. The Rams are trending to get their full tight end room back for the Sunday Divisional matchup against the Bears.

McVay added that G Kevin Dotson also has a good chance to return against the Bears. With all four of his tight ends healthy, the Rams’ 13-personnel set will become a more complicated situation to read for fantasy purposes. Ferguson seemed to be coming on late in the season before injuring his hamstring.

Ferguson came into the weekend listed as questionable and will ultimately be held out for the team’s Wildcard Round game against the Panthers. The Rams come into the contest listed as 10-point favorites on the road after losing to the Panthers in Carolina earlier in the season. Wide receivers Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith, and Tutu Atwell get the nod over Whittington.

Rams WR Jordan Whittington (knee) was initially listed as questionable, but later ruled out. Ferguson earned four targets in each of his last two games, catching five for 87 yards and two touchdowns. Having him on the field would be great for the Rams’ creative tight end usage. Whittington serves only as a rotational weapon at wide receiver.

Ferguson followed up his Tuesday DNP with another DNP on Wednesday. WR Jordan Whittington (knee) and OL Kevin Dotson (ankle) also remained out. Official injury statuses will come out on Thursday but all three players are on the wrong side of questionable for the Wild Card round against the Panthers.

Ferguson sat out Week 18 after being a late addition to the injury report with a hamstring injury. He starts out the week listed as DNP as the Rams held a walkthrough on Tuesday. Also DNP were WR Jordan Whittington (knee) and OL Kevin Dotson (ankle). The Rams’ key offensive players will have a few days to practice ahead of a Saturday Wild Card showdown against the Panthers.

The Rams are playing for the No. 5 seed and the right to take on the NFC South winner in the Wild Card Round today. Their starters will get the nod, but Adams is resting for one more work with an eye on the postseason. He should be back next week. Ferguson was a late-week addition to the injury report because of a hamstring issue. Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen will handle the bulk of the tight end snaps this week.
