🏈 Fantasy impact
Ferguson’s ankle sprain leaves his Week 9 availability unclear, but the immediate absence could open snaps for Spann-Ford. Spann-Ford’s season line (16.9 PPR points, 13 targets, 9 catches, 79 yards) is modest, and he is not an appealing add in most leagues. If you need a tight end, look for better options on the waiver wire. Hold Ferguson unless you are in a shallow league with a strong replacement, but do not start him until we have more news on the sprain.
