Colby Parkinson News
Saturday, August 1, 10:00 AM
According to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson is expected to lead the team's deep tight end room once again in 2026. While the Rams have several emerging options behind Parkinson, including second-year pass-catcher Terrance Ferguson, veteran Tyler Higbee, and second-round rookie Max Klare, Parkinson is currently penciled in to lead the room. The 27-year-old emerged as Matthew Stafford's go-to option in this room during the 2025 campaign, finding the back of the end zone eight times and bringing in 43 of his 56 targets. He tallied 408 yards, which also marked a season-best. While Parkinson may see his opportunities limited given the depth of this room as the season progresses, for the time being, he projects to hold high-end TE2 upside in a potent Los Angeles passing attack.

Eli Stowers News
Saturday, August 1, 5:51 AM
Philadelphia Eagles rookie tight end Eli Stowers suffered a minor injury in the spring that limited his participation in minicamp practices, and while he's come into training camp without restriction, Eagles beat reporter Jeff McLane reports that he's still had a quiet start to the summer. With Dallas Goedert firmly entrenched atop the depth chart, most of Stowers' reps have come with the second-team offense, working primarily with quarterbacks Andy Dalton and Tanner McKee, with rookie Cole Payton occasionally mixing in as well. McLane points out that Stowers has had his moments, but he is not yet seeing regular work with the first-team offense like fellow rookie Makai Lemon. Tight end can often require the greatest adjustment from college to the NFL, and Eagles training camp is less than a week old. Still, fantasy managers are no doubt looking for signs of encouragement from a player who was frequently the second tight end selected in 2026 dynasty rookie drafts.
