Eli Raridon vs Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson holds a 25% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 10/1/2026
THE CASE FOR RARIDON
Raridon is the cheaper bet (SF 1,086) at a position where usable TEs can pop with one depth-chart opening, making him a strong stash if you’re cost-conscious. At 22.5, he still has time to earn snaps and grow into a role, and New England’s pass-catcher hierarchy isn’t so locked that an athletic TE can’t climb with camp momentum. If you’re hunting asymmetric upside, his price implies you’re not paying for production that hasn’t arrived yet—perfect for deep benches/taxi squads.
THE CASE FOR FERGUSON
Ferguson carries the higher market value (SF 1,406; +22.8%) because he’s the more bankable bet to matter sooner, which is what you’re paying for at TE. In Sean McVay’s ecosystem, any TE who wins routes and trust can produce efficient weekly lines, and the Rams have shown willingness to feature secondary options when the role is earned. He’s still only 23.4, so you’re not sacrificing age insulation to buy the stronger probability profile.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Take Terrance Ferguson—the higher hit-rate/earlier-usable profile is worth the 22.8% premium when you need points and fewer dead roster spots.
Take Eli Raridon—cheaper acquisition cost plus similar age range makes him the better swing if you’re optimizing for upside-per-dollar and patience.
It’s close, but the market is right: Ferguson is the better all-around dynasty asset; pivot to Raridon only if you can buy meaningfully below that current gap or you’re deep-stashing.
