Who Should I Start? Colby Parkinson or Dalton Kincaid

Saturday, January 10, 12:09 PM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson scored his seventh and eighth touchdowns of the year in the regular season finale against the Arizona Cardinals, capping a career year for the 27-year-old. Despite the return of top tight end Tyler Higbee, Parkinson matched a season high with seven targets while playing 84% of the snaps. Higbee also had a strong game in his return from Injured Reserve, catching five of six targets for 91 yards and a score. Parkinson figures to stay involved in Saturday's Wild Card game against the Panthers, though the return of Davante Adams (hamstring) could reduce his looks in the red zone. Rookie TE Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) is questionable to play Saturday, which could help Parkinson stay on the field more often. Parkinson was quiet in the Rams' first meeting against the Panthers in Week 13, with four catches for 27 yards. He projects as a touchdown-dependent option for fantasy managers in playoff leagues.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said on Monday that it was "precautionary" when asked why tight end Dalton Kincaid (leg) was in a walking boot following Sunday's Wild-Card victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to ESPN's Alaina Getzenberg. McDermott also said that Kincaid "should be fine" to play in the Divisional Round of the playoffs this Saturday versus the hosting Denver Broncos. The 26-year-old third-year tight end caught three of his five targets on Sunday for 28 yards and a touchdown in the 27-24 win. However, he played only 28 offensive snaps after dealing with both knee and hamstring injuries late in the regular season. Fantasy managers would like to see Kincaid on the field more, but that might not happen if he's not 100% the rest of the postseason. Still, he'll be in play as a TE1 in fantasy football lineups if he's active against Denver. Kincaid has a team-high six receiving scores this year.
