Who Should I Start? Colby Parkinson or Mitchell Evans

Thursday, November 20, 10:26 PM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson has started to produce over the last four games and will be in line for an even bigger role moving forward, with fellow TE Tyler Higbee (ankle) on Injured Reserve. The 26-year-old has caught touchdown passes in back-to-back games and has six receptions on seven targets for 55 yards over that span. His six-yard touchdown catch in Week 11 proved to be the game-winner against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. The former fourth-rounder by Seattle in 2020 out of Stanford has been efficient in eight games this year, catching 15 of his 17 targets for 123 yards and two touchdowns. With Higbee out for at least the next four games, Parkinson will have an elevated role, but he'll also be fighting for playing time with rookie Terrance Ferguson and Davis Allen. In a tough matchup on Sunday night against the Buccaneers, consider Parkinson a touchdown-dependent, low-end TE2 streamer.

Carolina Panthers tight end Mitchell Evans was listed on the team's initial 53-man roster released earlier this week. While second-year pro Ja'Tavion Sanders is expected to operate as the starter and primary pass-catcher at the position, Evans could still carve out a role for himself on offense. The fifth-round NFL Draft selection currently sits third on the depth chart behind Sanders and Tommy Tremble (back), but the latter was recently activated from the PUP list and hasn't made much of an impact through his first four campaigns. Evans is unlikely to provide fantasy value as a rookie, but he is worth a flyer as a deep-league dynasty stash.
