Second on team in targets Parkinson secured two of five targets for 21 yards during Thursday's 12-6 victory against the 49ers.
Impact The veteran tight end helped to ice the game in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter, converting a big third down with a 14-yard catch just after the two-minute warning. Parkinson was second on the team behind Puka Nacua in targets, and his 32 snaps on offense outpaced fellow tight ends Hunter Long (22) and Davis Allen (15). His 21 yards receiving was his highest total since Week 7 against the Raiders, however, and this lack of production, along with the impending return of Tyler Higbee (knee) makes it hard to trust Parkinson for fantasy purposes. A Week 16 matchup against a stalwart Jets defense further dampens any hope for a breakout performance.

Makes one catch Parkinson secured one of two targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Eagles.
Impact As a group, the Rams' tight ends have put together back-to-back dismal performances, as Parkinson caught the group's only target last week and secured the only catch among them this week. Davis Allen, who led the group in snap count once again, failed to secure his only target and saw his share of the workload dip to just under half the plays on offense. With Hunter Long syphoning time as well, the trio of tight ends rotating in and out makes it difficult to trust any of them for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 13 contest against the Saints.

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.
Impact 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.

Blanked for first time in 2024 Parkinson failed to record a target while playing 32 snaps on offense during Sunday's 26-20 overtime victory against the Seahawks.
Impact Both Hunter Long and Davis Allen recorded a catch and were on the field for the majority of the second half, with Allen actually leading the tight end group in snaps played. Parkinson's role has been steadily decreasing since he took the field for 100 percent of snaps in Week 3, and the Rams seem content in mixing in their trio of tight ends while waiting for Tyler Higbee (knee) to make his return. The Dolphins defense, which gave up a monster game to Trey McBride (9-124-0) in Week 8, is next up for Parkinson in a Week 10 Monday night contest. Given recent usage, however, it will be hard to trust the veteran tight end in lineups.
NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Role reduces in victory Parkinson caught both of his targets for 17 yards during Thursday's 30-20 win against the Vikings.
Impact With Puka Nacua (knee) and Cooper Kupp (ankle) returning to action, Parkinson saw his second straight game with just a pair of targets; the returning duo commanded half of Matthew Stafford's 34 targets during the contest. The veteran tight end also saw his usage on offense dip to a season-low, taking the field for only 46 of the team's 72 snaps on offense, while Hunter Long (30) and Davis Allen (28) saw their roles expand. The team that drafted Parkinson in the fourth round in 2020, the Seahawks, are up next in a pivotal division showdown in Week 9.

Gains 32 yards on two catches Parkinson caught both of his targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 20-15 win over the Raiders.
Impact 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.

Leads Rams in targets Parkinson recorded seven receptions on 13 targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Packers.
Impact 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.
Impact 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 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.

Earns five targets Parkinson secured three of five targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 27-24 victory against San Francisco.
Impact For the first time in his tenure in Los Angeles, Parkinson was on the field for every snap on offense. Even with Puka Nacua (knee) and Cooper Kupp (ankle) out, Parkinson saw his usual amount of attention from Matthew Stafford, albeit tying a team-high in targets with Tutu Atwell. Fellow tight end Hunter Long was on the field for 26 snaps on offense but didn't earn a target, and with Davis Allen (back) and Tyler Higbee (knee) on the mend, Parkinson will be busy again in a Week 4 showdown with Chicago.

Manages just one catch Parkinson secured one of two targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact 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) is almost certainly 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 off five targets for 47 yards in Sunday's narrow defeat to the Lions.
Impact 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 Arizona and potentially the first half of the regular season.
