Won't face suspension Parker isn't at risk of being suspended after being ejected from Sunday's 19-7 win over the Bengals for fighting, though he could be fined, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Parker was one of five players ejected for fighting with 12:07 remaining in the fourth quarter, after Dolphins wideout Jakeem Grant was subjected to a flagrant hit by Mike Thomas during a punt return. The 27-year-old thus will be available for a Week 14 matchup against the Chiefs, a game in which Miami will no doubt need every offensive weapon possible. Though Parker was held to just 35 yards on four catches versus Cincinnati, it's encouraging to see that he now has five straight games with at least seven targets.

Booted late in win Parker secured four of eight targets for 35 yards in the Dolphins' 19-7 win over the Bengals on Sunday. He was eventually ejected for fighting with 12:07 remaining in the fourth qu...
Impact Parker had a surprisingly meager stat line before his early exit on a day in which quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw for 296 yards, although he narrowly missed coming down with a couple of end-zone targets. The disappointment over the veteran wideout's sparse production is somewhat offset by the fact he did check in second on the team in targets, giving him at least seven looks in five consecutive contests. It remains to be seen if Parker will face any league discipline for the ejection, but assuming he's available for a Week 14 showdown against the Chiefs, he's likely to be heavily involved as part of what figures to be an aggressive offensive game plan for Miami.

Hits century mark in win Parker secured eight of 14 targets for 119 yards during the Dolphins' 20-3 win over the Jets.
Impact Parker notched season-high numbers in terms of both yards and targets as Ryan Fitzpatrick's clear favorite target in the passing game, allowing him to do everything short of find the end zone in New York. Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) will re-enter the starting lineup against the Bengals in Week 13 as long as he's healthy, per Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald. That would decrease Parker's tentative fantasy upside given that the rookie quarterback hasn't shown a willingness to hyper-target his No. 1 receiver, but there's also still a chance that Fitzpatrick could get another go.
