Colby Parkinson News
Sunday, March 15, 8:12 AM
Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson put together the most productive year of his career in 2025, recording 43 receptions for 408 yards and eight touchdowns on 56 targets across 15 games played. Parkinson's spike in red zone production was perhaps the most surprising aspect of his season, as he entered 2025 with just five total touchdown grabs across 69 career NFL games. Still, Parkinson's fantasy upside is limited by a few factors. For one, he averaged fewer than four targets per game in 2025 and has never averaged more than 2.9 receptions per game in any of his six NFL seasons. Secondly, the Rams have one of the deepest tight end rooms in the NFL between Parkinson, Terrance Ferguson, Tyler Higbee, and Davis Allen. Playing in the high-powered Rams offense gives Parkinson a chance to spike a high-touchdown rate season as he did in 2025. However, the 27-year-old's long-term dynasty value remains limited.

Payne Durham News
Friday, August 29, 8:14 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Payne Durham could potentially see a larger role in the offense to begin the regular season. The Bucs are uncertain if starting tight end Cade Otton (leg) is going to be ready to play during the season opener. The team will likely wait and see how Otton progresses throughout next week before making a final decision. If he misses time, Payne Durham and Devin Culp figure to split up time as the starting tight end. Durham didn't see a ton of action last season, but played well when Otton missed time late in the season. When Otton was out, Durham hauled in nine receptions for 81 yards and two touchdowns as the starter. There's not a lot of value here, but maybe Durham is a dart throw if Otton is unable to go in Week 1.
