Who Should I Start? Colby Parkinson or Dalton Kincaid

Saturday, November 29, 7:07 AM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson has caught a touchdown pass in each of his last three games while cementing himself atop the depth chart. The 26-year-old has been quite productive in the wake of Tyler Higbee (ankle) landing on injured reserve, and he's firmly on the fantasy radar for his Week 13 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Over his last three games, Parkinson has 10 catches, 96 yards, and three touchdowns, ranking as the overall TE3 in PPR leagues during that span. While that's admittedly a small sample size and the touchdown streak may not be sustainable, Parkinson is still a solid streamer for this weekend. It certainly helps that the Panthers have allowed the second-most receiving yards and fifth-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends in 2025. The 26-year-old ranks in the TE2 tier, but he can certainly be deployed as a starter this week in leagues with at least 12 teams.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) has missed two straight games due to a hamstring injury. The 26-year-old was able to log limited practices on both Thursday and Friday, so he may be on track to make his return in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Across eight games this season, Kincaid has recorded 29 catches for 448 yards and four touchdowns on 36 targets. When healthy, he's been one of Bills quarterback Josh Allen's favorite red zone targets. However, Kincaid's playing time is consistently limited by how the Bills deploy fellow tight ends Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes. If Kincaid is limited by his hamstring issue, the team could choose to restrict his playing time even further against Pittsburgh. If he's active, Kincaid profiles as a borderline low-end TE1 in Week 13.
