Who Should I Start? Colby Parkinson or Tommy Hudson

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson had the best season of his career in 2025, recording 43 receptions for 408 yards and eight touchdowns on 56 targets across 15 games played. The 27-year-old had recorded just five touchdown grabs across five NFL seasons coming into the year, making his spike in end zone production particularly noteworthy. However, it may be difficult for Parkinson to repeat his breakout year in 2026. The Rams should get more production from veteran tight end Tyler Higbee, who missed seven games in 2025 due to an ankle injury. Los Angeles could also choose to funnel more playing time and targets towards second-year tight end Terrance Ferguson, whom they spent the 46th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft on. Given that Parkinson has still never reached the 60-target mark in a season going into his seventh year in the NFL, it seems wise to project a production regression in 2026. RotoBaller currently ranks Parkinson as the 50th-best tight end for dynasty formats.
