Colby Parkinson's Limited Targets Lead To Disappointing Outing
Colby Parkinson had a quiet day in the team's 20-15 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7. Parkinson was targeted only twice, catching both passes for 32 yards and no touchdowns. His limited involvement in the passing game led to a disappointing day, as the 25-year-old's continued absence of touchdowns hampers his fantasy ceiling. Parkinson has a favorable matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8. However, with star wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) expected to make his return next week, Parkinson remains a risky play even in deeper formats. Managers should consider other tight end options, as Parkinson's role may diminish with the Rams' receiving corps getting healthier.

Colby Parkinson Remains Off Fantasy Radar
Colby Parkinson could be lined up for more work than normal this week against the 49ers, but he's still well outside the starting rankings in standard leagues. Tyler Higbee (knee) is still out, and Davis Allen (shoulder) is questionable, which could open the door for Parkinson to handle most of the team's snaps at tight end on Thursday Night Football. However, he's still RotoBaller's TE39. He has exactly one catch in each of the last four weeks on a total of just five targets. He did find the end zone back in Week 11 against the Patriots for his only score of the season. He's a very unreliable fantasy option in Week 15 despite a potential increase in workload.

Colby Parkinson Catches One Pass Against Buffalo
Colby Parkinson converted his lone target into an 11-yard reception during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Buffalo Bills. The 25-year-old played 48 percent of the offensive snaps, which was his highest mark since Week 8. However, his role has remained quite modest as he has caught just one singular pass in each of his last four contests. Parkinson remains behind Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua, and Demarcus Robinson in the Rams' pecking order, and as a result, he belongs on waivers in most fantasy formats.

Colby Parkinson Finds The End Zone In Week 11
Colby Parkinson had only one catch for 19 yards in Sunday's win over the Patriots. Fortunately, it at least resulted in a trip to the end zone, with the 25-year-old bringing in one of Matthew Stafford's four touchdown throws near the end of the third quarter. With that in mind, Parkinson wasn't targeted in the Rams' previous two contests, so fantasy managers shouldn't look in his direction as a streaming option for the Week 12 clash with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Colby Parkinson Officially Off Fantasy Radar After Losing Top Role
Colby Parkinson appears to have been demoted to the No. 2 role on offense amidst the recent emergence of fellow tight end Davis Allen. In his last two games, Allen has averaged 55 percent and 80 percent of the offensive snaps, respectively. Parkinson, on the other hand, played just 42 percent and 16 percent, respectively. This is a major fall from grace for Parkinson, who had been a respectable streaming option earlier in the year, catching at least three passes in four of his first five games. As long as Allen and the rest of the Rams' pass-catchers stay healthy, Parkinson lacks fantasy appeal.
