Back on track with 53 yards vs. ATL
Parkinson corralled six of seven targets for 53 yards in Monday's 27-24 loss to the Falcons.
Analysis: Parkinson bounced back nicely from a two-catch stinker against his former club in last Thursday's loss to the Seahawks. The 26-year-old did have to watch backup TE Terrance Ferguson (2-54-1) vulture a touchdown for the second week in a row, but Parkinson's larger target share makes him the preferred fantasy option. Parkinson will look to add to career-best marks of 39 receptions, 372 yards and six touchdowns against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Busts against former team
Parkinson secured two of four targets for 21 yards during Thursday's 38-37 overtime loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Despite Matthew Stafford putting up monster numbers (457 yards passing and three touchdowns), Parkinson failed to make much of an impact against the team that drafted him in 2020. Terrance Ferguson earned the lone touchdown for the Rams' tight end corps in the contest, while Parkinson failed to see a target in the red zone. While the veteran tight end has touchdowns in five of his last seven games and led the trio in snap count, this game served as a reminder of Parkinson's floor. If Tyler…read more

Scoring binge continues
Parkinson had five receptions on seven targets for 75 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-34 win over the Lions.
Analysis: Parkinson turned in his finest fantasy performance to date after recording a season-high 75 yards while hitting pay dirt twice in the win over Detroit. The 26-year-old has now scored six touchdowns across his last six appearances, placing him firmly on the map as a starting fantasy option for the second half of the season. Fantasy managers should continue riding the hot hand as Parkinson prepares to face his former club in a road matchup against Seattle on Thursday Night Football in Week 16.

Catches TD in Week 14 win
Parkinson reeled in three of five targets for 32 yards and a touchdown Sunday in a 45-17 victory against Arizona.
Analysis: Parkinson finished third among Rams pass catchers in targets and trailed only Puka Nacua, who dominated with a 7-167-2 line, in receiving yardage. Since Tyler Higbee (ankle) landed on IR ahead of Week 12, Parkinson has emerged as the Rams' top tight end with 11 catches for 100 yards and two touchdowns over three games. Pushing that out further, Parkinson has tallied four scores over his past five contests, making him an intriguing -- though TD-dependent -- fantasy option at a relatively shallow…read more

Four receptions in loss
Parkinson caught four of five targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: Parkinson was able to secure multiple passes for the sixth game in a row, but he saw his streak of three contests with a score come to an end. The 26-year-old has now reeled in eight of nine targets for 68 yards and a touchdown over the last two weeks while operating as the team's No. 1 tight end with Tyler Higbee (ankle) on injured reserve.

Extends TD streak to three games
Parkinson reeled in all four of his targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-7 rout of the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Parkinson stayed hot in fantasy with his third trip to the end zone in as many weeks. It is worth noting that those three scores represent all of the tight end's touchdowns in nine appearances this season. The 26-year-old is averaging 1.5 receptions for 11.3 yards in his other six starts, highlighting the risk of trusting Parkinson to repeat his recent scoring binge moving forward. That said, Parkinson's hot streak at least puts him on the map as fantasy option in deeper formats for next…read more

Catches late TD in win
Parkinson caught both of his targets for 14 yards and one touchdown in the Rams' 21-19 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.
Analysis: With Tyler Higbee exiting early with an ankle injury, Parkinson saw an elevated role late in the contest and ended up catching what proved to be the game-winning six-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Parkinson has now secured 15 of 17 targets this season for 123 yards and two touchdowns. If Higbee needs to miss Week 12 against the Bucs, Parkinson could once again see more playing time on offense.

Scores first TD of 2025
Parkinson brought in four of five targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-26 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Parkinson turned in his finest fantasy outing of the season after hitting paydirt for the first time in 2025. The veteran backup's season line bumped up to 13-109-1, highlighting how little production the tight end has offered outside of Sunday's strong totals. Parkinson can safely be ignored in standard fantasy formats next Sunday against the Seahawks.

Season-high three catches
Parkinson secured all three targets for 47 yards during Sunday's 35-7 win against the Jaguars.
Analysis: The quartet of Rams' tight ends each played at least a third of the snaps on offense, with Parkinson leading the position group in yardage, Terrance Ferguson snaring a touchdown, and Tyler Higbee (who notably played the least out of the group) earning six targets. Given the diversity in usage between the four tight ends, a breakthrough for fantasy purposes seems highly unlikely. Parkinson's 7-58-0 receiving line is just slightly below his typical standard over the past three seasons, and his…read more

The goose egg marks Parkinson's second fruitless outing in three weeks, and his four receptions this year have combined for just 11 yards.

Parkinson secured both of his targets for nine yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 28-22 NFC divisional-round loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Outside of his four-yard touchdown grab in the fourth quarter, it was another forgettable performance for the veteran tight end. The four snaps that Parkinson played in the divisional round was the least of any of the Rams' tight ends, and the first year of his three year, $22.5 million dollar contract with the Rams has turned out to be mostly a bust.

Analysis: With the return of Tyler Higbee (knee) to the lineup, the quartet of tight ends on the Rams' roster shared the field for nearly equal amounts, with the group combining for just three targets and a single catch by Higbee for 11 yards and a touchdown. With the Rams running their offense through Kyren Williams and Puka Nacua for the most part, no tight end on the Rams will be easy to trust in fantasy lineups as the Rams take on division rival Arizona in Week 17.

Parkinson caught both of his targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 20-15 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Parkinson saw his target total dip from 13 in the Rams' previous contest to just two against Las Vegas. The veteran tight end's production didn't suffer much after gaining just 20 less yards despite the 11-target dip. Parkinson remains a decent option at a shallow fantasy position heading into Thursday's tilt against Minnesota despite his fluctuating target total this season.

Parkinson recorded seven receptions on 13 targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Parkinson was Matthew Stafford's favorite target and led the team with his 13 opportunities. He was used exclusively in the short areas of the field, as his longest gain of the day went for only nine yards. Parkinson will continue to be on the field so long as Tyler Higbee (knee) is sidelined, though his ability to command targets will take a hit once Cooper Kupp (ankle) can return -- which could be as early as Week 7.

Modest yardage on four grabs
Parkinson brought in four of seven targets for 33 yards in the Rams' 24-18 loss to the Bears on Sunday.
Analysis: Parkinson tied for second in receptions and was the runner-up in targets as well on the afternoon for the Rams, who continued to operate without top two receivers Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (IR, knee). The fifth-year veteran has at least three receptions in three of his first four games, but if Tyler Higbee comes off the reserve/PUP list ahead of a Week 5 home matchup against the Packers, Parkinson's role in the offense could start to diminish even if Kupp and Nacua remain out.

Manages just one catch
Parkinson secured one of two targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Parkinson's stats took a step back from a solid Week 1 performance, but the entire Rams offense struggled with just 269 yards of total offense in the blowout. Cooper Kupp (ankle) almost certainly is going to miss time after being seen in a walking boot after the contest, which leaves Parkinson, Demarcus Robinson and Tyler Johnson as the team's leading receiving options until Kupp, Puka Nacua (knee) or Tyler Higbee (knee) return from injury.

Solid effort in Rams debut
Parkinson finished with four receptions on five targets for 47 yards in Sunday's narrow defeat to the Lions.
Analysis: Parkinson signed with the Rams this past offseason to become the team's starting tight end after spending the first four years of his career with the Seahawks. The 25-year-old ceded just one target to backup Davis Allen while former starter Tyler Higbee (knee) remains on the active/PUP list with no current timetable for a potential return. Parkinson's current situation as the offensive-minded Rams' only experienced tight end puts him in a positive fantasy position for next Sunday's tilt against…read more

Moving elsewhere in NFC West
The Rams and Parkinson agreed to terms of a three-year, $22.5 million contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Parkinson thus will get a chance to serve as L.A.'s top tight end in 2024 until Tyler Higbee completes his recovery from ACL and MCL tears that he sustained in the team's wild-card loss to the Rams in January. Considering the damage to Higbee's right knee, that may result in Parkinson handling TE duties for a good portion of the upcoming campaign, assuming the Rams don't make any big splashes at the position this offseason. Parkinson was modestly productive for the Seahawks the last two…read more

Finishes with 247 yards
Parkinson finished the 2023 season with 25 receptions for 247 yards and two touchdowns through 17 games.
Analysis: Parkinson ended up playing more snaps than Will Dissly but fewer than Noah Fant (hand) as the team's No. 2 tight end, averaging 27.6 offensive snaps per game. Both Parkinson and Fant will be free agents in March, while Dissly is signed for the 2024 season, albeit with an unfavorable $10.1 million cap hit. This was Parkinson's second straight season with 25 receptions, so he'll likely be an affordable option if the Seahawks choose to keep him around.

Finds end zone in win
Parkinson caught three of four targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Parkinson's touchdown was his second of the season, as the veteran tight end has now recorded 20 receptions for 201 yards and two scores in 15 games this season. Despite playing less than half of No. 1 tight end Noah Fant's offensive snaps in the contest, Parkinson was far more involved in the Seahawks' passing attack. The 24-year-old Parkinson's four targets were his most since Week 6, while Fant failed to record a single target against the Titans. Despite his increased opportunities,…read more

Parkinson caught his lone target for six yards in Monday's 20-17 win over the Eagles.

Finds end zone against 49ers
Parkinson caught both of his targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-16 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Parkinson's touchdown was his first of the season, as the veteran tight end hasn't played a significant role in Seattle's offensive attack in 2023 behind starter Noah Fant. Through 13 weeks, Parkinson has totaled just 16 catches on 22 targets for 178 yards. With such limited opportunities in the Seahawks' scheme, the 24-year-old should not be trusted for fantasy purposes when the Seahawks host the Eagles in Week 15.

Ready for Week 11 action
Parkinson (biceps) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's road game against the Rams, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After opening Week 11 prep with an absence from Wednesday's practice due to a biceps injury, Parkinson followed it up with a limited session Thursday and all activity Friday, thus clearing him for Sunday's contest. The Seahawks have split the TE snaps between Parkinson (49.9 percent on offense), Noah Fant (52.9) and Will Dissly (43.4) this season, and Parkinson himself has tallied 13 catches to Fant's 16 and Dissly's eight. Expect a similar outcome this weekend.

Parkinson (biceps) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: After failing to practice Wednesday, Parkinson returned to a limited practice Thursday. According to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com, head coach Pete Carroll suggested that Parkinson is likely to play this weekend, though confirmation on the tight end's status won't arrive until Seattle releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Doesn't practice Wednesday
Parkinson was held out of practice Wednesday due to a biceps injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: It's unclear when Parkinson hurt his biceps, as he logged his usual allotment of snaps in Sunday's loss to Baltimore. The 24-year-old has maintained a fairly even snap count with fellow tight ends Noah Fant and Will Dissly over the past four weeks, and Parkinson has paced the trio with six catches over that span. His status for Sunday's contest against Washington should become clearer as the practice week progresses.

Two catches in divisional win
Parkinson caught both of his targets for 26 total yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Parkinson, Will Dissly and Noah Fant all played between 32 and 36 snaps in the divisional win, as there's still no clear No. 1 tight end in Seattle. Even a No. 1 tight end would struggle to produce consistently in this offense, especially if rookie receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba continues to ramp up his usage.

None of the tight ends were effective for fantasy purposes, but it was a sluggish day for the Seahawks altogether.

The 24-year-old Parkinson had 322 yards and two touchdowns in the 2022 regular season. Seattle's next preseason game will be Aug. 19 against Dallas.

Parkinson caught three of six targets for 14 yards in Saturday's 41-23 playoff loss to the 49ers.

He also recorded 16 targets over the final three games, including the postseason. Most importantly, he ran ahead of former first-round pick Noah Fant in all three of those games.

Remains top tight end in Seattle
Parkinson caught two of three targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 19-16 overtime win over the Rams.
Analysis: Parkinson's Week 17 usage wasn't a fluke. He operated as the top tight end ahead of Noah Fant for a second straight game Sunday, as Parkinson handled 55 snaps (79 percent) while Fant clocked in at 45 snaps (64 percent). The usage is certainly intriguing, so Parkinson has a chance to be the No. 3 pass catcher behind DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett in Seattle in any given week.

Operates as No. 1 tight end
Parkinson caught five of six targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-6 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Parkinson worked as the Seahawks' clear No. 3 tight end all season behind Will Dissly and Noah Fant. Dissly since has been placed on injured reserve with a knee injury, but instead of shifting to the No. 2 role, Parkinson operated as the top TE in Week 17. Parkinson played 80 percent of the offensive snaps while Fant was targeted three times and handled a 63 percent share. It's worth monitoring this usage again Week 18, and Parkinson is worth keeping tabs on.

Increased role ahead
Parkinson should handle an increased workload moving forward following news that Will Dissly (knee) was placed on injured reserve, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Dissly could become available later in the playoffs if the Seahawks make it, but he won't return during the regular season. Last week, Parkinson handled a season-high 30 offensive snaps and produced three catches (four targets) for 45 yards. The 2020 fourth-round pick could handle an even larger workload in Week 17 versus the Jets as the No. 2 tight end behind Noah Fant (knee).

Parkinson caught three of four targets for 45 yards in Saturday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: With Tyler Lockett (hand) out of the lineup and Marquise Goodwin leaving briefly with a wrist injury, Parkinson handled a season-high 30 offensive snaps and finished with season highs in catches and receiving yards. Most notably, he played more snaps than veteran Will Dissly.

Analysis: Carroll added we won't know for a while if Parkinson will be cleared for the season opener. In turn, the Seahawks added free agent TE Luke Willson for depth behind Gerald Everett and Will Dissly. The Seahawks will likely take a cautious approach with Parkinson -- whom they selected in the fourth round of the 2020 draft -- because of the delicate nature of foot injuries. Once the 6-foot-7 tight end is cleared, he should claim the No. 3 role.

Foot injuries are always tricky, but it's encouraging that Parkinson won't need surgery and could possibly be ready for Week 1.

The 6-foot-7, 251-pound tight end has played in six games this year, catching two passes for 16 yards. He'll likely be sidelined for Saturday's playoff game against the Rams if Olsen returns.

First NFL reception
Parkinson caught both targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 40-3 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Parkinson caught both passes from Geno Smith, who relieved Russell Wilson near the end of the third quarter due to the blowout nature of the game. The rookie tight end also logged a season-high 19 snaps on offense. He nevertheless remains the odd man out behind Will Dissly and Jacob Hollister, and he could wind up in healthy scratch territory if Greg Olsen (foot) returns this year as planned.

Increased duties in store
Coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday that Parkinson will have a role on offense moving forward after the Seahawks' placed Greg Olsen (foot) on injured reserve, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
Analysis: Parkinson missed the first six games of the season with a foot injury. He made his NFL debut in Week 8 against the 49ers, but the rookie fourth-round pick served as a healthy scratch in the last three games. Parkinson will slot in as the No. 3 tight end behind Will Dissly and Jacob Hollister moving forward. The 6-foot-7, 251-pound tight end generated 77 receptions for 1,074 yards and eight touchdowns over 25 games between his final two collegiate seasons.

Activated from NFI list
The Seahawks activated Parkinson (foot) from the non-football injury list Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The rookie fourth-round pick could be in line for his NFL debut Sunday against the 49ers, although there's a decent chance that he's a healthy scratch because four other tight ends are on the active roster. The 6-foot-7, 251-pound tight end posted a 48-589-1 line in his age-20 collegiate season at Stanford and is hoping to bring that production to Seattle, but barring an injury, he'll likely act as depth for the rest of the season with hopes of making a meaningful impact in 2021.

Starts season on NFI list
Parkinson (foot) was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Parkinson -- a fourth-round pick in April -- underwent surgery in June to repair a broken foot, and the rookie has yet to practice with the team. He won't be able to rejoin the team for six weeks as he rehabs the injury, and once he gets healthy, he may need to beat out Luke Willson for the No. 4 tight-end role.

Hits NFI list
The Seahawks placed Parkinson (foot) on the active/non-football injury list Monday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Parkinson is recovering from a broken fifth metatarsal in his foot suffered back in June. The rookie fourth-round pick will integrate himself into a crowded tight end room when healthy, so the Seahawks could feel comfortable enough to take a cautious approach with his recovery.

Suffers foot injury
Parkinson underwent surgery June 2 after suffering a broken fifth metatarsal in his foot during an offseason workout, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Per the report, the 2020 fourth-rounder has been in Seattle rehabbing the injury. While a precise timetable for Parkinson's return to action has not been established, it's possible that the tight end will miss time early on this season. The Seahawks also roster Greg Olsen, Will Dissly and Jacob Hollister, so even when he is ready to play, Parkinson doesn't appear to have a clear path to steady targets as a rookie.
