2024 Fantasy Outlook
Parham is the top returning tight end for the Chargers, but he projects to work behind offseason additions Will Dissly and Hayden Hurst after looking up at Gerald Everett on the depth chart in 2023. The 6-foot-8 Parham was a red-zone weapon for Justin Herbert last season, as his seven targets inside the 10-yard line matched Everett’s total. Parham parlayed those opportunities into a career-high four touchdowns, and he also set career highs in targets (41), catches (27) and receiving yards (285). While Parham’s unlikely to see a significant influx of total targets, he’ll likely remain a factor near the goal line and could help fill the void created by the offseason departures of Austin Ekeler, Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Everett.

Big performance in Week 18
Parham recorded five receptions on six targets for 83 yards in Sunday's 13-12 loss to the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Parham had been inactive for the last three games, initially due to a shoulder injury but then as a healthy scratch. However, he had plenty of opportunity with the Chargers' receiving corps beat up -- both Gerald Everett (knee) and Joshua Palmer (knee) left the game -- and he delivered a career-best yardage performance as a result. He accounted for three catches of more than 15 yards and proved to be one of the team's better offensive threats on the day. Parham is under contract in Los Angeles for the 2024 season, but he has a minimal cap hit, so he will likely have to compete for his roster spot.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Parham was expected to be a major part of Los Angeles' offense in 2022, but separate hamstring injuries held the 6-8 target to six games. In the limited time the 25-year-old was available, Parham was a weapon on deeper passes, especially off play action. Gerald Everett is still around as the team's starting tight end, but if healthy Parham should handle the No. 2 role and potentially provide red-zone utility, with Tre' McKitty also in the mix at the position.

Uncertain role with new staff
Parham could have trouble carving out a meaningful role under new Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Parham is regarded as a below-average blocker, which could cost him playing time relative to offseason additions Will Dissly and Hayden Hurst. Additionally, undrafted rookie Zach Heins could earn playing time with his blocking skills if he makes the team. Parham also sat out team drills in spring practices -- presumably due to an injury -- so he hasn't gotten a chance to impress the new coaching staff on the field.
