Who Should I Start? Tanner Hudson or Colby Parkinson

Thursday, October 16, 1:06 AM

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tanner Hudson (concussion) was ruled out for Thursday Night Football against the Steelers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. Hudson suffered a concussion in the Week 6 loss to the Packers and wasn't able to clear concussion protocol on a short week. Fellow tight end Mike Gesicki (pectoral) was also injured during the game and will miss time. Noah Fant and Drew Sample will be lined up for more opportunities, with Fant as likely as the top pass-catching option. Fant has been productive in a limited sample so far this season, hauling in 16 of his 18 targets for 107 yards and a touchdown.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson is rising up the depth chart ahead of Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 26-year-old is expected to operate as the Rams' top tight end after Tyler Higbee (ankle) was placed on injured reserve. This promotion comes at a fitting time for Parkinson, who is riding a two-game touchdown streak. During that span, he has six catches for 55 yards while ranking as the overall TE6 in PPR leagues. While Parkinson probably won't maintain his top-12 value over a larger sample size, he's still a notable riser and will warrant some streaming consideration for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. He ranks as the overall TE27 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings.
