Yahoo Sports NFL on Colby Parkinson

Parkinson locked into red-zone/blocking role with Rams' three-TE sets; TE10 upside in Week 6.

Parkinson is a red-zone and check-and-release merchant with rare size (6'7", 266 lbs), filling a role that's needed with the Rams setting a season-high 35 snaps with three+ tight ends on the field. He's their best blocker and will be in this role even if Terrance Ferguson (ankle) returns soon. Tyler Higbee, Dennis Allen, and T-Ferg will run fancier routes and are less likely to volleyball-set a target for an interception like Parkinson did last week, but Parkinson can run pure with touchdowns at any time. He was the TE10 on TE10 usage in Week 6 before last week's TE17 on TE18 usage outing.
