DraftCall Analytics

Start Luke Musgrave over Terrance Ferguson in 2026.

Luke Musgrave averaged 4.8 PPG in 2025 to Terrance Ferguson's 3.3, a 1.5 point per game edge. Both play tight ends, so that per-game gap is the cleanest tiebreaker for a 2026 start or sit.

The Bottom Line

Luke Musgrave has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 1.5-PPG advantage is real (4.8 to 3.3), and Luke Musgrave's 2 touchdowns show scoring upside. Terrance Ferguson is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Low confidence: the production gap is narrow enough that weekly context matters more than the season line.
