Why Jadarian Price
Toss-Up· lowRookie RB atop the depth chart. Explosive, home-run-speed runner with no prior NFL sample.
RB23 at 12.1 projected with a 25.0 team total, but 41% snaps, a shoulder injury and limited practices cap the floor; confirm he's active.
- WSH ranks 3 of 32 against RBs (one of the tougher matchups, 2-game sample).
- Vegas implies 25.0 team points as 3.5-point favorites.
- Listed RB on the latest depth chart with a 41% snap share.
The call
- Projection of 12.1 PPR and an RB23 consensus rank sit right on the flex/RB2 borderline in 12-team leagues, and a 25.0 implied total as a 3.5-point favorite points to positive game script for rushing work.
- Usage is the concern: a 41% snap share and 8% target share over 2 games suggest a split backfield, and there's little receiving floor in PPR.
- He left Sunday's win early with a shoulder injury and was limited in the first two practices per ESPN (2026-09-25). He carries no designation and is reported to have a good chance to play, but a reduced workload is possible.
- The DvP rank of 3 of 32 looks tough, but it rests on a 2-game sample with 0.00 confidence, so it shouldn't drive the call. A full practice Friday or a clean status tips this to start, while any setback makes it a sit.

Why Terrance Ferguson
Toss-Up· lowSecond-year TE2 and athletic receiving option. Explosive seam threat with big-play efficiency and red-zone scoring value behind the starter.
18% target share and a 24.3 implied total support the start-lean, but TE22 rank, a stingy DEN matchup (8 of 32) and an ankle note cap the upside.
- DEN ranks 8 of 32 against TEs (one of the tougher matchups, 2-game sample).
- Vegas implies 24.3 team points as 3.0-point favorites.
- Listed TE on the latest depth chart with a 55% snap share.
The call
- Usage is the case for him: an 18% target share on a 55% snap share is starter-caliber volume for a tight end, and the 10.6 PPR projection reflects that.
- Game environment helps. The Rams are 3-point favorites with a 24.3 implied total, so scoring chances should be there.
- Matchup cuts the other way. DEN ranks 8 of 32 vs TEs (32 = softest), though that rests on a 2-game sample with 0.00 confidence, so weight it lightly.
- Risk: Yahoo (2026-09-23) reported he was a surprise limited participant with an ankle injury. He carries no designation now, but at TE22 he sits outside the 12-team starter tier. Start him over a streamer outside the top 15; sit him for anyone ranked there or higher.
Latest on Ferguson
