Rest-of-Season Outlook and Availability
Parkinson is listed questionable.
Outlook
The bigger drag is the depth chart. Tyler Higbee still commands starter snaps, and rookie-level additions Terrance Ferguson and Max Klare crowd the multi-tight-end packages. With an ADP outside the top 220 and only a single-digit target share, Parkinson profiles as a touchdown-dependent stash and in-season streamer rather than a draft-day target. Behind him on the depth chart: Terrance Ferguson. Full outlook

Colby Parkinson Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth TE for deep leagues only
TE57 through Week 4 · 1.7 PPG
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished TE17 last season at 8.7 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's TE57 at 1.7 PPR points per game, against 8.7 over 15 games last season (TE17). He's running behind last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 28th of 81 in route participation (50.4%), 29th of 82 in target share (9.6%) and 29th of 82 in efficiency (1.31 yards per route run). Target share is the soft spot. Matthew Stafford is his quarterback.
The main risk is the job itself. He's the listed starter with Terrance Ferguson next on the depth chart, and a benching or an injury would take his value to zero overnight.
The next favorable matchups are the Cardinals in Week 6 (6th against TEs) and the Raiders in Week 7 (4th against TEs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Parkinson posted career bests in 2025: 43 grabs on 56 targets for 408 yards and eight touchdowns across 14 games, a 76.8% catch rate that finished him 29th at the position. The efficiency markers were legitimate too, with 0.224 EPA per play, a 64.3% success rate and 1.31 yards per route run, all leaps over his 2024 line. The scoring spike leaned heavily on volume in tight quarters: 22 red-zone looks and 10 end-zone targets fueled those eight scores, a rate unlikely to fully repeat given his modest 9.6% target share and 4.43 air yards per target.
The bigger drag is the depth chart. Tyler Higbee still commands starter snaps, and rookie-level additions Terrance Ferguson and Max Klare crowd the multi-tight-end packages. With an ADP outside the top 220 and only a single-digit target share, Parkinson profiles as a touchdown-dependent stash and in-season streamer rather than a draft-day target. Monitor the role; if the snaps consolidate, he carries genuine spike-week appeal.

Colby Parkinson Fantasy Outlook FAQ
What is Colby Parkinson's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?
Colby Parkinson projects as a depth TE for deep leagues only for the rest of the 2026 season: a bench stash in TE-premium leagues and waiver-wire material in 12-team and 10-team leagues. His target share (9.6% target share, 29th of 82 TEs in 2025) holds him back. See his live rank in Redraft Command.
What is Colby Parkinson's rest-of-season fantasy ranking?
Colby Parkinson is the TE57 in PPR points per game through Week 4. That puts him in depth TE territory, waiver-wire material in 12-team leagues.
What is Colby Parkinson's projected role going forward?
Colby Parkinson is the listed starting TE, with Terrance Ferguson next on the depth chart. Nothing on the chart threatens the job, so the role is his to lose on performance.
Will Colby Parkinson get more targets?
Colby Parkinson's targets are holding steady: 1.5 a game over his last two games against 1.7 for the season. His share of the offense is what his fantasy value rides on.
What is Colby Parkinson's fantasy football upside?
Colby Parkinson's upside: his ceiling this season is 3.5 PPR points (Week 2, TE32) and the Cardinals in Week 6 and the Raiders in Week 7 are top-10 matchups for TEs.
What could hurt Colby Parkinson's fantasy value?
Colby Parkinson's risks: Terrance Ferguson is next on the depth chart if he is benched or hurt, his target share (9.6% target share, 29th of 82 TEs in 2025) limits his scoring and the Eagles in Week 4 and the Bills in Week 5 are tough matchups. See his injury status and history.
How difficult is Colby Parkinson's remaining fantasy schedule?
Favorable: of his next seven games, 4 come against a top-10 matchup for TEs and 2 against one of the stingiest defenses, by PPR points allowed to the position.

If Parkinson Misses Time
Next man up: Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson is next on the Rams depth chart at tight end. Tight end targets would mostly move to the receivers, so he's a streaming option at best if Parkinson misses time.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Matthew Stafford would lose one of his main options.
