Who Should I Start? Colby Parkinson or Feleipe Franks

Sunday, September 14, 11:33 AM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson (shoulder) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Tennessee Titans. He had been listed as doubtful after missing all three practices leading up to this weekend's game. Parkinson is working his way back from an AC joint sprain that he suffered last Sunday against the Houston Texans. Parkinson was actually able to finish last week's game after receiving medical attention, but evidently, the Rams aren't going to send him onto the field for Week 2. Terrance Ferguson is active for his NFL debut and will assist in filling Parkinson's void alongside a tight end committee that also features Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen. None of these Rams tight ends can be trusted in fantasy football, but Ferguson is an intriguing stash in dynasty leagues.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Feleipe Franks caught all three of his targets for 24 yards, most of which came on a 23-yard catch and run that he was able to take in for a touchdown. Franks also caught one pass for nine yards last week and was not targeted in the first preseason game. He was battling Teagan Quitoriano for the third tight end spot behind Kyle Pitts Sr. and Charlie Woerner, and with Quitoriano not receiving a target in the preseason, Franks appears to have a leg up. Unfortunately, third-string tight ends don't have any value for fantasy, so no need to roster him in any leagues.
