Scores TD in limited action Parkinson secured both of his targets for nine yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 28-22 NFC divisional-round loss to the Eagles.

Impact 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. Signed to be the starter while Tyler Higbee recovered from a torn ACL and MCL, Parkinson didn't hold the starting job long, slipping into a three-way timeshare with Davis Allen and Hunter Long before Higbee's return made it a four-way split in snaps. Parkinson finished the season with a modest 30-294-1 receiving line, and will almost certainly fall behind Higbee on the depth chart to begin the 2025 campaign.

Makes pair of catches Parkinson secured both of his targets for 13 yards during Monday's 27-9 wild-card win over the Vikings.

Impact Tyler Higbee (chest) looked primed to have a career day early, with five catches for 58 yards in just 12 snaps before exiting the contest with a chest injury. The trio of Rams' tight ends behind Higbee in the pecking order each recorded 13 receiving yards, with Davis Allen catching a touchdown in the second quarter. Parkinson's 33 snaps on offense were more than Allen (19) and Hunter Long (22), but with Higbee not expected to miss any additional time with his injury, Parkinson will likely revert back to his rotational role as a backup against the Eagles in the divisional round.

Held without a catch again Parkinson failed to secure his lone target during Saturday's 13-9 victory against the Cardinals.

Impact Despite playing the most snaps out of the quartet of Rams' tight ends, Parkinson went a second straight game without a catch. Tyler Higbee was the only tight end to record any stats, and even he just managed two catches for nine yards. With the playing time between Parkinson, Higbee, Hunter Long and Davis Allen relatively even, and the sheer lack of fantasy production outside of Kyren Williams and Puka Nacua on the Rams offense, it'll continue to be hard to trust any Rams' tight end in fantasy rosters heading into the Week 18 regular season finale against the Seahawks.

Fails to make an impact Parkinson failed to secure his lone target during Sunday's 19-9 victory against the Jets.

Impact 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.

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.

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.

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.
