2024 Player Outlook

Offensive coordinator Shane Waldon has been notorious for rotating his tight ends going back to his time as the Rams tight end coach in 2017. In fact, he's never had a tight end play more than 75% of the snaps from then until now. So Parkinson was stuck in the tight end rotation along with Noah Fant and Will Dissly. This year, Parkinson escapes to join the Los Angeles Rams, who haven't been afraid to let their starting tight end play big snap shares. With Tyler Higbee coming off a serious knee injury, it may be Parkinson vs. the young Davis Allen battling for that starting job early on. That role could have backend TE1 upside as we have seen from Higbee and, if one of Cooper Kupp or Puka Nacua goes down, now the upside is a little more interesting.
