Parkinson had a strong outing against the Falcons' third linebacker and safeties in Week 10, and tight ends in general had field days against Atlanta's coverage. With Jaden Dugger likely to be stressed in coverage against McVay's concepts and motions, Parkinson should see opportunities down the field; the source expects tight ends to be a bigger factor than receivers for the Rams against the 49ers.

Parkinson had a field day against the Falcons' third linebacker and safeties in Week 10, and will be a bigger factor than receivers for the Rams in Week 1. The 49ers' use of 5-man fronts will leave safeties exposed on the back end, creating opportunities for tight ends to exploit coverage gaps.

Fantasy's TE6 after Week 10 last season, went widely undrafted. Rams run +2-TE sets at or near the highest frequency in the NFL. San Francisco's defense is undersized with bottom-3 tackle success rate (47.1%), bottom-10 finishes in tight end receptions and fantasy points per game to the position. Source urges jumping on Parkinson before snap one if league has first-come-first-serve waivers. Projected as TE29 for Week 1 but source emphasizes he was the player to target all along among Rams' TEs.

Parkinson's anytime touchdown odds at +400 are undervalued relative to his recent usage and scoring rate. After Puka Nacua was out for the Week 7 London trip, the Rams shifted to three-tight end sets, and Parkinson's usage increased significantly post-bye week, frequently playing over 70% of snaps. He scored eight touchdowns in seven of 13 games—a 54% scoring rate. The source argues that 4-to-1 odds imply only a 20% scoring probability, which doesn't reflect Matthew Stafford's affinity for throwing to his 6-foot-7 red-zone target.

Last year Tyler Higbee started as the team’s primary inline TE, but got hurt and didn’t rebound when he came back, which opened the door for Colby Parkinson Unsure if being a captain means anything for playing time, but there was previous reporting that Tyler Higbee was lining up with the 1st team That said, the inline TE role is probably not going to be valuable (esp if split), so I’m not drafting any of them This is not about Terrance Ferguson via @thebenroyer
