Who Should I Start? Harrison Bryant or Colby Parkinson

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Harrison Bryant (ankle) was removed from the team's final Week 13 injury report on Thursday, but he will be a healthy scratch for Friday's divisional matchup against the hosting Kansas City Chiefs. Bryant sat out of the last two games due to his ankle injury and will now miss a third straight contest, although it appears he's put his ankle injury in the rearview mirror. The 26-year-old is the third QB in Vegas behind both Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer, so he's well off the fantasy radar now that Mayer is back with the team. In his first year with the Raiders in 2024, Bryant has barely been involved in the eight games he's been active for, catching nine of his 12 targets for 86 yards and no touchdowns.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson caught two of his five targets for 21 yards during their victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night. Parkinson's five targets and 21 yards were the second-most on the team. Over his previous four games leading up to Thursday, Parkinson caught just one pass in each contest and never surpassed 20 receiving yards. With 31-year-old Tyler Higbee (knee) nearing a return to action, fantasy managers should expect Parkinson to soon revert to the No.2 role on the depth chart. Next weekend, Parkinson will face the New York Jets, who have allowed the seventh-fewest PPR points to opposing tight ends. If he is given another start, he should be viewed as a low-end TE2, given his low target share.
