Donald Parham Jr. Fantasy

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. could see a bigger role in the offense going forward. The former XFL star has been making an impact on the field over the last few games. Parham has scored a touchdown in each of the last two games and appears to be the Chargers most explosive pass catching tight end. Although, Jared Cook remains in the picture, which is going to hurt Parham's value. Fantasy managers should consider Parham a desperation option in deep leagues for the Week 6 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. was targeted three times and caught two balls for 17 yards and a touchdown in a Week 4 victory versus the Las Vegas Raiders. Parham caught a four-yard touchdown in the first quarter and it would be his first score of the season. Despite scoring this evening, Parham only had one reception for 19 yards entering the contest and he remains the backup to veteran Jared Cook. As long as Cook is healthy, Parham has little value and he can be left on the waiver wire for a Week 5 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. received praise from offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi. Although Parham will back up Jared Cook, the 6-foot-8 tight end will have a valuable role. Parham did not see more than 37% of snaps per game, except for Week 16 against the Denver Broncos, last season. He had three touchdowns in 2020 and will look to build his chemistry with quarterbackJustin Herbert, specifically in the red zone. It was reported in August that Parham is expected to see a bigger role in the offense. Even with the addition of Cook, Parham will be Herbert's go-to red-zone threat this season. Parham should be a handcuff to Cook this season in much deeper leagues. In a tough Week 1 matchup against the Washington Football Team, Parham should not be on the radar for DFS contestants.
