Colby Parkinson Facing Likely Regression After Career Year in 2025

Wednesday, June 3, 12:28 PM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson put together a career year in 2025, recording 43 catches for 408 yards and eight touchdowns on 56 targets across 15 games. However, Parkinson looks like a prime regression candidate heading into 2026. For one, his production in 2025 was largely fueled by a spike in touchdown receptions, and he remained a low-volume target-earner on a game-to-game basis. Secondly, the Rams have one of the deepest tight end rooms in the league with Terrance Ferguson, Tyler Higbee, and 2026 second-round pick Max Klare all providing playing time competition for Parkinson. Even if Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford leads the league in touchdown passes for the second straight season in 2026, it seems unlikely that Parkinson will be able to match or exceed his 2025 output. Dynasty managers should be looking to sell high on Parkinson before the start of the upcoming season.

Eli Stowers Suffers Leg Injury at Minicamp

Thursday, June 11, 6:19 AM

Philadelphia Eagles rookie second-round tight end Eli Stowers (leg) had a sleeve on his right leg and wasn't doing much during mandatory minicamp practice on Wednesday, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Stowers' injury most likely isn't very serious, but the Eagles will ease him in during offseason workouts. We'd be surprised if he isn't ready for the start of training camp at the end of next month. The 23-year-old from Vanderbilt will most likely work for a backup role behind Dallas Goedert as he heads into his first season in the NFL with the Eagles. Stowers was converted from a quarterback to a TE in college, so he has plenty of development to do as a pass-catcher at 6-foot-4 and 239 pounds. Although Stowers is unlikely to have much of a role in Philly in 2026 behind Goedert, he has intriguing long-term value in dynasty/keeper leagues due to his above-average athleticism. In his last two collegiate seasons at Vanderbilt, Stowers had 111 total receptions for 1,407 yards and nine touchdowns in 25 games played.
