Who Should I Start? Colby Parkinson or Pat Freiermuth

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.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth has topped four targets in just one game this season but will hope to remain a reliable red-zone target for quarterback Aaron Rodgers in a Week 10 clash with the Los Angeles Chargers. Freiermuth has three touchdown catches over his last three contests, including two from inside the 20-yard line. Unfortunately, if he doesn't find the end zone on Sunday night, his fantasy output will likely disappoint as the Chargers have surrendered the fifth-fewest receptions and fifth-fewest yards to opposing tight ends this year. The 27-year-old is a fine dart throw in a pinch, but Freiermuth can't be started with any real confidence this week.
