Who Should I Start? Colby Parkinson or Isaiah Likely

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.

Since returning from a foot injury that delayed his start to the 2025 season, Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely has seen minimal usage in his team's passing game. Across five games played, the 25-year-old has hauled in eight catches for 86 yards on nine targets. However, Likely is coming off his best game of the season in Week 9, recording three catches for 60 yards on four targets against the Miami Dolphins. Week 9 was also the first time Likely has shared the field with star Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson for a full game. Across 16 games with Jackson in 2024, Likely recorded 42 catches for 477 yards and six touchdowns on 58 targets. Likely's fantasy ceiling is limited by the presence of veteran Ravens tight end Mark Andrews. However, his stock is trending upwards heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings now that Jackson is back in the fold.
