Terrance Ferguson's fantasy role in Week 2
Terrance Ferguson goes into Week 2 of the 2026 season as a deep-league TE flyer for the LAR. He is rostered in 19% of leagues and actually started in 1% of them, and we rank him TE33 on our own weekly board at 5.2 projected points.
Roster rates are steady week over week, so his role looks settled rather than in flux.
No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.
Week 2 matchup breakdown
The matchup: vs NYG. Our Pepper Meter heat rating for this spot is 1 out of 5, which is how we grade the combination of role, projection and opponent difficulty.
Against a typical starting TE baseline of 7 points, his 5.2-point projection is 1.8 points short. That gap is the whole start/sit argument in one number.
How to play it
Sit Terrance Ferguson in Week 2 if you have a real alternative — 5.2 projected points lands 1.8 under the TE starter line.
If you are deciding between him and another TE, compare projections first, then lean on the Pepper Meter heat rating as the tiebreaker.
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Terrance Ferguson (LAR TE), our TE33 this week for Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season vs NYG, projecting 5.2 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. The projection sits about 26% under what a startable TE returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. At home against NYG, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. Only 19% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
