Rams TE Terrance Ferguson was set to return from his ankle injury for this weekend's game vs. the Commanders but has now been ruled out with a hamstring injury. That presumably happened in Friday's practice. We'll look for more details, but Ferguson could miss multiple games with this new injury. His absence keeps TE Tyler Higbee atop the depth chart against Washington's league-worst TE defense. TE Colby Parkinson (ribs) is listed as questionable after getting in just a limited practice on Friday.

The Rams hit Sunday's win over the Chargers with TE Colby Parkinson inactive (rib injury). That allowed Tyler Higbee to take the clear lead at the position in routes, but it didn't turn into meaningful opportunity.

Rams TE Colby Parkinson (rib) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Chargers. That leaves Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen as the clear top TEs. Higbee is a viable Week 8 fantasy start.

Rams TE Colby Parkinson (rib) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Chargers. He didn’t practice all week. Parkinson has caught 5 of 6 targets in back-to-back games. His absence would be a particular boost for TE Tyler Higbee.

Sunday marked the Rams' first game since losing WR Davante Adams to a hamstring injury, and they ran a lot of "13" personnel. That's the three-TE alignment the offense has become known for over the past two years, and L.A. ran it on a league-high 43% of plays in Sunday's win over the Raiders. Their 51% rate of 2+ TEs ranked sixth, and both rates marked increases vs. their season numbers. That meant 50+ snaps for Tyler Higbee, Colby Parkinson, and Davis Allen, putting the trio behind only QB Matthew Stafford and WR Puka Nacua in total playing time. Higbee led the trio in routes at 18, 56.3% of Stafford's total dropbacks. Parkinson followed at 14 (43.8%), with Allen at 12 (37.5%). Parkinson led the group with 6 targets, 5 catches, and 48 yards, ranking second on the team in all three categories (behind Nacua). Allen tallied 4 catches for 20 yards on 5 targets, while Higbee managed just 2 catches for 14 yards on 3 targets. No other Ram beat any of the TEs in targets.

Rams WR Puka Nacua was limited in Thursday's practice with a new calf injury. ESPN's Sarah Barshop confirms that Nacua suffered the injury today, putting him in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Raiders. We'll look for further updates and see how Nacua is listed on Friday's final injury report. With WR Davante Adams out with his hamstring injury, Nacua's absence would leave the Rams with WRs Konata Mumpfield, Jordan Whittington, and Tutu Atwell atop the depth chart -- and likely push more targets to the TEs and RBs.

Rams TE Terrance Ferguson (ankle) is expected to be out beyond when first eligible to return in Week 8, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Ferguson's recovery from his ankle injury “will take some time," a source tells Schefter. We'll look for further updates on exactly how much longer Ferguson will be sidelined, but this obviously makes him a less attractive stash. TE Tyler Higbee, meanwhile, gains value with both Ferguson and WR Davante Adams out for the foreseeable future.

Rams WR Davante Adams is expected to miss 6-10 weeks with a ruptured hamstring, HC Sean McVay said Monday. Adams went down on a non-contact play late in the Week 6 loss to the Cardinals.

Rams TE Colby Parkinson (knee, shoulder) was a full participant in Friday’s practice, putting him on track to play vs. the Bills on Monday night. Parkinson isn’t a viable Week 5 fantasy starter, but his return adds risk to TE Tyler Higbee’s profile.

Rams TE Tyler Higbee notched a 5-67 receiving line on 6 targets in Sunday's win over the Eagles. That placed him fourth on the team in targets, third in catches, and tied for second in yards. Higbee also ranked third on the team in pass routes, nearly doubling the nearest competitor. His 41 routes more than tripled No. 2 TE Davis Allen, who played almost exclusively as a blocker. Rookie Max Klare hit the field for just one snap.

Rams TE Colby Parkinson (knee, shoulder) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Eagles. TE Terrance Ferguson (ankle) landed on IR this week, leaving Los Angeles down to TEs Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen, and Max Klare. Higbee is the best fantasy bet but isn’t a recommended TE1 start with WR Puka Nacua back today.

The Rams placed TE Terrance Ferguson on IR with his ankle injury. He's out at least the next 4 games, making Week 8 the earliest we'll potentially see him again. Ferguson is droppable in shallower fantasy leagues. TE Colby Parkinson (knee, shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Eagles after missing practice all week. His absence would leave the Rams down to Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen, and Max Klare at TE.

Rams TEs Terrance Ferguson (ankle) and TE Colby Parkinson (knee, shoulder) were sidelined for Wednesday's practice. Ferguson is expected to miss this weekend's game vs. the Eagles, and Parkinson might join him on the inactive list. That'd leave Tyler Higbee as the Rams' top TE, but the matchup vs. the Eagles and the return of WR Puka Nacua would still leave him short of TE1 appeal.

Rams TE Terrance Ferguson suffered a medial ankle sprain in Sunday night's loss to the Broncos and will likely miss Week 4, HC Sean McVay said. TE Colby Parkinson sprained the AC joint in his shoulder vs. Denver but is considered "day to day," per McVay, seemingly giving him a chance to play this weekend. TE Tyler Higbee stepped up to catch 8 of 11 targets for 62 yards and a score with the Rams undermanned vs. the Broncos. He could be a desperation option for fantasy teams if Parkinson joins Ferguson on the sidelines this Sunday, though a tough matchup against the Eagles limits his upside.

For the third straight week to open the season, the Rams had a different scoring leader at TE. Davis Allen led the room in Week 1, Terrance Ferguson did it in Week 2, and Tyler Higbee took over in Week 3. Higbee hauled in eight of 11 targets for 62 yards and a TD, good for a TE1 finish in Week 3.
