2025 Fantasy Outlook
Parkinson was expected to take on a larger role after signing a three-year, $22.5 million contract with the Rams in the 2024 offseason, but he instead posted a modest 294 receiving yards and one touchdown, right in line with the 285 yards and two TDs he averaged in his last two seasons with Seattle. He failed to pull away from Davis Allen while Tyler Higbee was sidelined until Week 16 by a knee injury, and Higbee immediately reclaimed his role as the team’s top receiving TE once cleared to play. Higbee projects to lead the Rams’ TEs once again in 2025, and rookie second-round pick Terrance Ferguson has been added to the mix, leaving Parkinson and Allen with limited upside. Read Past Outlooks
In concussion protocol
Parkinson is in the league's concussion protocol, but coach Sean McVay said Monday he expects Parkinson to be available to play Sunday against the Ravens, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
With Tyler Higbee (hip) out last Thursday night against the 49ers, Parkinson started the game and played 37 percent of the Rams' offensive snaps. He failed to catch his lone target, which was an end-zone shot from Matthew Stafford. Parkinson has four catches for 11 yards on five targets this season.

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.

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.
