NegativeRoleOct 29, 2026Yahoo Sports NFL
Parkinson is a red-zone and check-and-release merchant with rare size (6'7", 266 lbs), filling a role that's needed with the Rams setting a season-high 35 snaps with three+ tight ends on the field. He's their best blocker and will be in this role even if Terrance Ferguson (ankle) returns soon. Tyler Higbee, Dennis Allen, and T-Ferg will run fancier routes and are less likely to volleyball-set a target for an interception like Parkinson did last week, but Parkinson can run pure with touchdowns at any time. He was the TE10 on TE10 usage in Week 6 before last week's TE17 on TE18 usage outing.

Outperformed Tyler Higbee in back-to-back weeks with 14 PPR points vs Arizona (TD in week 6) and 5 catches for 48 yards in week 7 (9.8 and 14.1 PPR points over last two weeks); had 8 touchdown catches last year with many backloaded; Terren Ferguson's high ankle sprain keeps him sidelined, solidifying Parkinson's role; the source calls him a priority add for FFPC managers and locked-in tight end two in regular PPR; upcoming matchups against Chargers, Commanders, and Cardinals in weeks 9–10 could be touchdown weeks.

Parkinson finished with 5 catches for 48 yards, stepping in to replace Davante Adams' receiving production in his absence. The source notes this output is close enough to Adams' usual game total when Puka Nacua is healthy, though Parkinson was held out of the end zone. With the Rams lacking depth at receiver and Adams expected to miss significant time, the team attempted to replace Adams in the aggregate from the tight end position, and Parkinson's role expanded accordingly.
