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
Losing work to Davis Allen
Parkinson played 11 of the Rams' 70 snaps on offense and went without a target in Monday's 23-15 loss to the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
After playing north of 60 percent of the Rams' snaps in the team's first seven games, Parkinson has now seen his snap share drop from 43 percent in Week 9 all the way down to 11 percent in Week 10. While Parkinson's playing time has declined, second-year player Davis Allen has settled in as the Rams' top tight end, playing 54 percent of snaps Week 9 and 81 percent of snaps Week 10 and producing a 6-39-0 receiving line on nine targets between those contests. According to Cameron DaSilva of USA Today, head coach Sean McVay clarified Wednesday that Parkinson is healthy, so the 25-year-old's downturn in snaps looks to be simply performance-related.

Denver's Courtland Sutton and Tennessee's Calvin Ridley have overcome slow starts to the season, finally taking advantage of prolific volume the past three weeks.
WR DeAndre Hopkins didn't need long to get comfortable in his new home, taking on a larger role and scoring two touchdowns in his second game for the Chiefs.
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.
