Who Should I Start? Colby Parkinson or Greg Dulcich

Saturday, December 6, 11:09 AM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson has established himself as a fantasy-relevant option heading into Week 14 against the Arizona Cardinals. Parkinson has emerged as the Rams' top tight end with Tyler Higbee (ankle) on injured reserve, catching 14 of 16 targets for 123 yards and three touchdowns over his last four games. During that four-week window, he ranks as the overall TE6 in half-PPR leagues. Parkinson should continue to find success this week against the Cardinals, who have allowed the 11th-most fantasy points to oppsoing tight ends in 2025. Perhaps the biggest indication that Parkinson faces minimal competition atop the depth chart is that rookie Terrance Ferguson, who had made some big plays when Higbee was healthy, has just three targets and zero catches over the last three weeks. Parkinson has played well enough that Matthew Stafford trusts throwing him the ball, which is enough to preserve his fantasy relevance for another week. He ranks as the overall TE23 in RotoBaller's Week 14 fantasy rankings, but he clearly has top-10 upside. Managers should feel comfortable starting him in leagues with at least 10 teams, especially with bye weeks and injuries limiting the pool of viable streamers at the tight end position.

Miami Dolphins tight end Greg Dulcich split snaps with Julian Hill in the team's last game in Week 11, but he could play a smaller role in Week 13 against the Saints. Darren Waller (pec) is questionable and could return from IR, forcing Dulich into an uninvolved role off the bench. Dulich was brought in to provide some pass-catching at the position while Waller was out, and he hauled in eight catches on 13 targets over the last three games, producing a total of 89 receiving yards and no touchdowns. If Waller comes back, Dulcich is not a strong play in any format, since he is unlikely to get significant work. If Waller needs another week before being activated, Dulich would be a low-end TE2 while getting time along with Hill in a favorable matchup against the Saints.
