2024 Fantasy Outlook
Parkinson signed a three-year, $22.5 million contract with the Rams in the offseason after spending four years in Seattle, and with Tyler Higbee expected to miss a significant portion of the 2024 season due to a torn ACL suffered in January, there's a nice opportunity for Parkinson to sit atop an NFL depth chart for the first time in his career. In each of the past two seasons, Parkinson had exactly 25 catches and two touchdowns on 34 targets, though his yardage total fell from 322 in 2022 to 247 in 2023. Higbee averaged 87.7 targets over the previous three seasons, so Parkinson should see a substantial uptick in volume even with the Rams funneling a vast majority of their touches to RB Kyren Williams and WRs Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp. Read Past Outlooks
Second on team in targets
Parkinson secured two of five targets for 21 yards during Thursday's 12-6 victory against the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
The veteran tight end helped to ice the game in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter, converting a big third down with a 14-yard catch just after the two-minute warning. Parkinson was second on the team behind Puka Nacua in targets, and his 32 snaps on offense outpaced fellow tight ends Hunter Long (22) and Davis Allen (15). His 21 yards receiving was his highest total since Week 7 against the Raiders, however, and this lack of production, along with the impending return of Tyler Higbee (knee), makes it hard to trust Parkinson for fantasy purposes. A Week 16 matchup against a stalwart Jets defense further dampens any hope for a breakout performance.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2020
With just 15 receptions through the first 14 games of last season, Parkinson was barely on the fantasy radar until Will Dissly hurt his knee. Parkinson showed some spark down the stretch with 10 catches for 128 yards and a touchdown in Weeks 16-18. The 6-7 tight end will always show some red-zone appeal when he's in the rotation, but that isn't a certainty this year with Noah Fant and Dissly still around.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could see heavy usage sans Nacua
Parkinson could see a bigger role in the Rams' passing game after wide receiver Puka Nacua was placed on injured reserve Wednesday due to a knee injury.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that Nacua's knee injury is "unique," and the second-year wide receiver could miss more than the four-game minimum required while on IR, per Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register. Demarcus Robinson is set to serve as the No. 2 wide receiver behind Cooper Kupp in Nacua's absence, but Parkinson's 6-foot-7 frame should generate more looks from quarterback Matthew Stafford, especially in the red zone. Parkinson is the top tight end for the Rams due to Tyler Higbee starting the season on the reserve/PUP list while recovering from a torn ACL and MCL in his right knee he sustained in the playoffs last season.
