The source projects Parkinson will repeat his nine-touchdown performance from last year, dismissing regression concerns. He's expected to be a top-tier red zone target for the Rams alongside Terrence Ferguson as the third and fourth receivers on the team. Both are talented and expected to have really good years, though there's uncertainty about weekly lineup decisions. They're available late in drafts.

Colby Parkinson led the Rams tight end position in target share at 9.6%, which was third on the team last season. Despite competition from Tyler Higbee, Terrance Ferguson, and Max Klare, Parkinson is positioned as the safest option in the Rams' crowded tight end room, though the upside of all four is capped until one emerges.

Parkinson's production jumped significantly in year two with the Rams: 2024 saw 34 catches on 51 targets for 316 yards and 2 TDs; 2025 improved to 51 catches on 71 targets for 560 yards and 9 TDs. He was deployed on 53% of the Rams' passing game snaps in 2025 and was a blocker on 58% of his total plays, leading all Rams tight ends in pass blocking snaps both in total and percentage basis. The source identifies Parkinson as the most important Rams tight end, particularly if the team continues deploying multiple tight end packages, with his role undervalued and difficult to measure because his primary contributions come through pass blocking and offensive infrastructure rather than receiving statistics. However, Parkinson finished second only to Davante Adams in total drops among Rams receivers and tight ends with 7 drops on 71 targets, translating to a 12.1% drop rate—a troubling problem if his hands don't become more reliable into next season.

Rams tight end with contract expiring after current year; showed barbell-style week-to-week finishes in 2024: TE11 (week 11), TE5 (week 12), TE11 (week 14), TE5 (week 15), TE12 (week 17), top-4 finish (week 18); the source questions whether Rams will re-sign him on one-year deal or move on to younger tight ends Ferguson and Clare, creating uncertainty around his role.
