Who Should I Start? Colby Parkinson or Ben Sinnott

Saturday, December 6, 11:09 AM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson has established himself as a fantasy-relevant option heading into Week 14 against the Arizona Cardinals. Parkinson has emerged as the Rams' top tight end with Tyler Higbee (ankle) on injured reserve, catching 14 of 16 targets for 123 yards and three touchdowns over his last four games. During that four-week window, he ranks as the overall TE6 in half-PPR leagues. Parkinson should continue to find success this week against the Cardinals, who have allowed the 11th-most fantasy points to oppsoing tight ends in 2025. Perhaps the biggest indication that Parkinson faces minimal competition atop the depth chart is that rookie Terrance Ferguson, who had made some big plays when Higbee was healthy, has just three targets and zero catches over the last three weeks. Parkinson has played well enough that Matthew Stafford trusts throwing him the ball, which is enough to preserve his fantasy relevance for another week. He ranks as the overall TE23 in RotoBaller's Week 14 fantasy rankings, but he clearly has top-10 upside. Managers should feel comfortable starting him in leagues with at least 10 teams, especially with bye weeks and injuries limiting the pool of viable streamers at the tight end position.

Washington Commanders tight end Ben Sinnott (ankle) heads into Sunday night's matchup against the Denver Broncos without an injury designation after missing Week 11 due to an ankle injury. Sinnott hasn't played a big role as a receiver for Washington this season as the third tight end behind Zach Ertz and John Bates, but he could see more opportunities down the stretch with the state of the Commanders' season. The 2024 second-round pick caught his first touchdown of the season the last time he played in Week 10 versus the Detroit Lions. For the season, the 23-year-old has played 28.5% of the snaps on offense with just three receptions (three targets) for 33 yards and a touchdown. Sinnott has shown promise as a blocker, but hasn't flashed much as a receiver yet. He has high-end athletic traits, but hasn't seen many opportunities with Ertz holding down the pass-catching role. Sinnott is still a solid stash in dynasty leagues and will be a player to watch down the stretch.
