Colby Parkinson Expected to Lead Rams TE Room in 2026

Saturday, August 1, 10:00 AM

According to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson is expected to lead the team's deep tight end room once again in 2026. While the Rams have several emerging options behind Parkinson, including second-year pass-catcher Terrance Ferguson, veteran Tyler Higbee, and second-round rookie Max Klare, Parkinson is currently penciled in to lead the room. The 27-year-old emerged as Matthew Stafford's go-to option in this room during the 2025 campaign, finding the back of the end zone eight times and bringing in 43 of his 56 targets. He tallied 408 yards, which also marked a season-best. While Parkinson may see his opportunities limited given the depth of this room as the season progresses, for the time being, he projects to hold high-end TE2 upside in a potent Los Angeles passing attack.

Isaiah Likely Becoming Favorite Target for Giants QB

Friday, August 7, 5:14 PM

New York Giants tight end Isaiah Likely could be ready to make a big impact with his new team. In recent practices, Likely has been quarterback Jaxson Dart's favorite target. He snagged a team-high four receptions during Friday's practice session. The wide receiver room is a bit cloudy right now, so Likely has a chance to step up and make an impact in a big way. The 26-year-old could end up being the top target in New York until Malik Nabers (knee) returns to the field. Likely is Rotoballer's TE14, but he has the upside to be a top-10 player at his position this season.
