Parkinson failed to record a target while playing 32 snaps on offense during Sunday's 26-20 overtime victory against the Seahawks. Both Hunter Long and Davis Allen recorded a catch and were on the field for the majority of the second half, with Allen actually leading the tight end group in snaps played. Parkinson's role has been steadily decreasing since he took the field for 100 percent of snaps Week 3, and the Rams seem content in mixing in their trio of tight ends while waiting for Tyler Higbee (knee) to make his return. The Dolphins defense, which gave up a monster game to Trey McBride (9-124-0) in Week 8, is next up for Parkinson in a Week 10 Monday night contest. Given recent usage, however, it will be hard to trust the veteran tight end in lineups.

Parkinson caught both of his targets for 17 yards during Thursday's 30-20 win against the Vikings. With Puka Nacua (knee) and Cooper Kupp (ankle) returning to action, Parkinson saw his second straight game with just a pair of targets. The returning duo commanded half of Matthew Stafford's 34 targets during the contest. The veteran tight end also saw his usage on offense dip to a season low, taking the field for only 46 of the team's 72 snaps on offense, while Hunter Long (30) and Davis Allen (28) saw their roles expand. The team that drafted Parkinson in the fourth round in 2020, the Seahawks, are up next in a pivotal division showdown Week 9.

Parkinson caught both of his targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 20-15 win over the Raiders. Parkinson saw his target total dip from 13 in the Rams' previous contest to just two against Las Vegas. The veteran tight end's production didn't suffer much after gaining just 20 less yards despite the 11-target dip. Parkinson remains a decent option at a shallow fantasy position heading into Thursday's tilt against Minnesota despite his fluctuating target total this season.

Parkinson projects as a top-eight tight end this week if Cooper Kupp and we'll likely still be in the top 12 if Kupp plays. That's because the projections value volume and Parkinson has seen 20 targets in his last two games and actually leads the Rams with an 18.6% target share for the season. His lack of touchdowns has been bad luck as he's had a feature role in the red zone as well.

Keep an eye on Cooper Kupp (ankle) heading into Week 7 against the Raiders, and if he's out again then Parkinson can be worth a flier in deeper leagues. He's worth adding for 1 percent of your remaining FAB. He had 20 targets in his past two games against the Bears and Packers, and he had seven catches for 52 yards on 13 targets against Green Bay in Week 5.
