Outlook Colby Parkinson

Colby Parkinson vs. Chargers — Expanded Target Share Offers Streaming Appeal

Despite briefly visiting the medical tent last Sunday, Parkinson is cleared and healthy heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Chargers. With star wideout Davante Adams on injured reserve, the Rams have leaned into Parkinson alongside Tyler Higbee, resulting in 10 receptions on 12 targets over his past two games.

That recent volume spike makes him an intriguing streamer in deeper formats. Our weekly projection lands at 6.7 fantasy points, forecasting 2.5 catches for 25 yards with upside for a score against an 0-6 Chargers squad. While rotational tight-end snaps keep his floor low, his red-zone involvement offers sneaky value.
