2023 Fantasy Outlook
With just 15 receptions through the first 14 games of last season, Parkinson was barely on the fantasy radar until Will Dissly hurt his knee. Parkinson showed some spark down the stretch with 10 catches for 128 yards and a touchdown in Weeks 16-18. The 6-7 tight end will always show some red-zone appeal when he's in the rotation, but that isn't a certainty this year with Noah Fant and Dissly still around. Read Past Outlooks

$Signed a three-year, $22.5 million contract with the Rams in March of 2024.

TELos Angeles Rams
March 11, 2024
The Rams and Parkinson agreed to terms of a three-year, $22.5 million contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Parkinson thus will get a chance to serve as L.A.'s top tight end in 2024 until Tyler Higbee completes his recovery from ACL and MCL tears that he sustained in the team's wild-card loss to the Rams in January. Considering the damage to Higbee's right knee, that may result in Parkinson handling TE duties for a good portion of the upcoming campaign, assuming the Rams don't make any big splashes at the position this offseason. Parkinson was modestly productive for the Seahawks the last two seasons, combining for a 50-569-4 line on 68 targets in 34 games.

2020 Fantasy Outlook
Selected in the fourth round of the 2020 draft, Parkinson is the most recent member of the Stanford TE pipeline to enter the pros. At 6-7, 251 with a 4.77 40, he was modestly productive at the college level, combining for a 77-1,074-8 receiving line on 145 targets in 25 games across the past two seasons. Sure, that equates to 13.9 yards per catch, but he also scored just one touchdown in his final 15 contests. The top of the Seahawks' depth chart at tight end is crowded, with the likes of Greg Olsen, Jacob Hollister and Will Dissly (when healthy) set to lead the room in snaps. Furthermore, Parkinson suffered a broken fifth metatarsal in his foot during an offseason workout, undergoing surgery in early June. It won't come as any surprise if he ends up redshirting his rookie season.
