Who Should I Start? Colby Parkinson or Elijah Higgins

Sunday, October 12, 11:37 AM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson (concussion) cleared concussion protocol but is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 6 contest against the Baltimore Ravens. He had previously been listed as questionable after logging three limited practices in a row. The 26-year-old has not been a major contributor in his backup role behind Tyler Higbee this year, totaling four catches, 11 yards, and a lost fumble through three games. Terrance Ferguson and Davis Allen round out the depth chart behind Higbee.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Elijah Higgins caught two of his three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's loss to the Washington Commanders. Filling in for the injured Trey McBride (concussion), Higgins had a favorable matchup against a Commanders defense that has struggled in pass coverage this season. However, he failed to capitalize, as the Cardinals managed just 142 passing yards despite shifting to a pass-heavy game script. Although Higgins was on the field most of the snaps, there seemed to be no emphasis on getting him the ball. Given his limited involvement in this opportunity, Higgins remains a long shot as a streaming option next week against the San Francisco 49ers.
