Colby Parkinson Week 3 Outlook - 49ers at Rams

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 19th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Parkinson has had an 80% route share, but he hasn't been drawing volume. He only has a 9.2% target share, 0.88 YPRR, and an 8.3% first-read share. Parkinson could get more target volume with all of the injuries hitting this receiving depth chart, but he is more likely Cade Otton 2.0. Otton was a player that we streamed when the matchup was right last year. Parkinson could be that type of tight end this year, but sadly, the matchup isn't good this week. Last year, the 49ers were 18th in receiving yards allowed to tight ends while giving up the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position.
