Who Should I Start? Colby Parkinson or Greg Dulcich

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson was pegged as an obvious beneficiary of the Week 15 injury to teammate Davante Adams (hamstring), given his usage around the goal line. Unfortunately, after being one of the most popular waiver adds of Week 16, he opened the fantasy playoffs with a two-catch, 21-yard performance with zero touchdowns against the Seahawks. Parkinson was able to string together two strong performances to close the year, but heading into the NFL playoffs, Adams is expected to return to action after being listed as a full participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report, and Tyler Higbee (ankle) is another week removed from the ankle injury that landed him on Injured Reserve for nearly two months. Working in Parkinson's favor is that rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) began the week with an estimated DNP after missing the season finale with a hamstring injury. However, with so much uncertainty lingering about his usage, Parkinson is best left out of starting lineups or simply undrafted in fantasy playoff leagues.

Miami Dolphins tight end Greg Dulcich had his best performance of the season during Sunday's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Dulcich hauled in five of his six targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in the win. The 25-year-old has now finished with 40 receiving yards or more in four straight games, even though fellow TE Darren Waller remains healthy. Rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers is set to make his third straight start in the Week 18 regular-season finale. The rookie signal-caller has connected with Dulcich eight times in two games. The expectation is that this trend will continue against the division-rival New England Patriots this Sunday. Dulcich isn't a great streaming option, but he is worthy of a look in deeper leagues this weekend.
