Colby Parkinson Poised for Key Tight End Role in Week 12

In a strategic shift ahead of their Week 12 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Los Angeles Rams are poised to hand the tight end position to Colby Parkinson. With Tyler Higbee sidelined due to an ankle injury and subsequently placed on injured reserve, the 26-year-old Parkinson is set to take over as the Rams’ primary tight end.

This opportunity comes at a propitious moment for Parkinson, who has demonstrated his ability to contribute significantly on the field. Over the last two games, he has recorded six receptions totaling 55 yards, all while maintaining an impressive touchdown streak that spans two consecutive games. His recent performance has positioned him as the TE6 in PPR leagues, highlighting his growing importance within the Rams’ offensive scheme.

While it is acknowledged that Parkinson may face challenges in sustaining this level of performance over a longer period, his recent success certainly makes him a player to watch. Fantasy football managers are advised to consider him as a streaming option for the upcoming game against the Buccaneers. In the latest RotoBaller fantasy rankings, Parkinson is noted as the TE27, reflecting a surge in his prospects as he steps into a more prominent role. As the Rams prepare for this critical matchup, all eyes will be on Parkinson to see if he can capitalize on his newfound opportunity.
