Blake Corum or Terrance Ferguson: Who Should You Start?
Historical comparison from 2026 Week 4 — one of these players isn’t on the current board.
Start Corum — the availability and projection edges are too wide to ignore.
Blake Corum is the healthier side of this call (Ferguson carries a Doubtful tag) and projects 8.1 to Ferguson's 7.5. Ferguson's edge is the consensus rank, TE22 to RB38. The gap is comfortable.

7.07.58.1 Projected Points
Terrance Ferguson
4.76.17.5 Projected Points

Sit — RB38 consensus, projects RB42 this week: 24.5 implied team total, 5% target share.
- PHI ranks 12 of 32 against RBs (a middle-of-the-road matchup, 3-game sample).
- Vegas implies 24.5 team points as 1.5-point favorites.
- Listed RB on the latest depth chart with a 32% snap share.

Why Terrance Ferguson
Sit· highSecond-year TE2 and athletic receiving option. Explosive seam threat with big-play efficiency and red-zone scoring value behind the starter.
Listed doubtful with a medial ankle sprain and reported expected to miss Week 4 at PHI; even healthy, TE22 in a 3-of-32 matchup.
- Listed Doubtful on the latest report — rarely plays through that tag.
- PHI ranks 3 of 32 against TEs (one of the tougher matchups, 3-game sample).
- Vegas implies 24.5 team points as 1.5-point favorites.
- Listed TE on the latest depth chart with a 45% snap share.
The call
- Availability is the driver: status is D (doubtful), and Yahoo Sports (2026-09-29) reports he sustained a medial ankle sprain in Week 3 and is expected to miss the Eagles game. A therams.com headline says McVay called him likely out, though that headline is unverified.
- Even if he suits up, the profile is thin: 45% snap share and 11% target share over 3 games put him in a part-time role behind a TE22 consensus rank and 7.5 projected PPR points.
- The matchup offers no rescue. PHI grades 3 of 32 against tight ends, though that rests on a 3-game sample with 0.25 confidence.
- The 24.5 implied team total and -1.5 spread are neutral and don't offset the injury risk. Grab a healthy streamer instead of risking a zero from a doubtful player.
