BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 34% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Colby Parkinson, who has stepped in for the injured Tyler Higbee (knee), has done a solid job as the Los Angeles Rams’ starting tight end through the beginning of the young season. He is averaging 5.33 fantasy points (PPR) through the team’s first three games and is a potential waiver wire add for fantasy managers who are thin at this position.
The Rams’ two best receivers, Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (knee) are both expected to be out for extended periods. On top of that, as mentioned above, Higbee started the season on the PUP list, confirming his absence for at least one more game. This leaves the Rams extraordinarily thin at receiver as they hope someone like Parkinson can step up and take on a bigger role.
THERE WE GO. THAT IS SOME CREATIVE SEAHAWKS OFFENSE ON 1ST DOWN. PERFECT.
COLBY PARKINSON!

It was clear that the Rams were trying to get Parkinson more involved in their offense in Week 3, as he played 100% of the team’s offensive snaps (a season-high) and was targeted five times. Unfortunately, he did not deliver against a tough San Francisco 49ers defense, but he will look to bounce back against an easier Chicago Bears team in Week 4.
With the inconsistency at the tight end position so far this season, fantasy managers in deeper leagues should consider adding Parkinson to start for them in Week 4, as he is in quite a favorable situation.
