Colby Parkinson Won't Play in Week 6 Despite Clearing Concussion Protocol

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.

Gunnar Helm's Role in Titans' Offense Steadily Growing

Tuesday, October 21, 9:50 PM

Tennessee Titans rookie tight end Gunnar Helm appears to be a first-year player on the rise. Over the last three weeks, Helm has recorded 10 catches for 85 yards on 13 targets, bringing his season-long totals to 17 catches for 149 yards on 21 targets across seven games. After starting the season as the clear TE2 in Tennessee behind Chig Okonkwo, Helm has been stealing playing time away from the veteran as the year progresses. Still, Helm has yet to play more than 66% of the Titans' offensive snaps in any game this season. Additionally, Tennessee has been one of the NFL's worst offenses, which limits Helm's ceiling. He cannot yet be trusted for consistent fantasy production, but Helm is a name to monitor, particularly in deep leagues.
