Colby Parkinson fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 2 (2024). Should you start or sit Colby Parkinson for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1/2
ANALYSIS: One of the biggest beneficiaries of Puka Nacua's extended absence could be Colby Parkinson. The Rams brought in the tight end from Seattle to be their starter while Tyler Higbee recovers from a catastrophic knee injury.
In his debut with Los Angeles, Parkinson tied his career-best mark for receiving yards (47) and secured the second-most receptions in one game (four). He ran a route on 82% of the Rams' passing plays.

That's exactly what fantasy managers seek in a bleak tight-end landscape: Clear involvement in the passing game with the chance to score. Parkinson was the TE7 in Week 1. With a touchdown, he would have been the TE2.
Matthew Stafford led quarterbacks in pass attempts in Week 1. That number should decline in Week 2 against Arizona. The Cardinals aren't as stout against the run as the Lions. Still, the Cardinals have weak spots all over their defense that the 6'7" Parkinson can exploit. Plus, Davis Allen, the second-string tight end, will be inactive with a back injury. Parkinson is a safe-floor tight end that can be considered a starter in most leagues.
