Donald Parham Jr. Suffers Torn Achilles

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (Achilles) suffered a torn Achilles tendon on Tuesday and is in danger of missing the entirety of the 2025 season. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the injury. News came through earlier today that the Steelers removed themselves from conversations with the Miami Dolphins for tight end Jonnu Smith, but their tune quickly changed, and now we know why. It's unfortunate news for the 27-year-old, as he's now set for a lengthy recovery process. It's no secret that Pittsburgh has a glaring need at quarterback, though the lack of weapons on the offense is quickly becoming an understated issue. It's unlikely that Parham Jr. would have made a massive impact in 2025. Still, the team's skill players are relatively thin behind wideout DK Metcalf, tight end Pat Freiermuth, and running back Jaylen Warren.

Steelers Sign Donald Parham Jr. To One-Year Deal

The Pittsburgh Steelers announced on Friday that they signed free-agent tight end Donald Parham Jr. to an undisclosed one-year deal. Parham will head to the AFC North after catching 67 of his 100 targets for 764 yards and 11 total touchdowns in 47 games (23 starts) over his four seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers after debuting in 2020. The 27-year-old tight end went undrafted out of Stetson College in 2019. His best season was in 2023 with the Bolts, when he caught 27 of his 41 targets for 285 yards and four touchdowns across 14 regular-season games (eight starts). L.A. released him last August and he latched on with the Denver Broncos' practice squad, but he didn't appear in an NFL game. At 6-foot-8, Parham was mostly a red-zone weapon for the Bolts. He'll attempt to win a roster spot with Pittsburgh out of training camp but can be ignored in most fantasy leagues.

Donald Parham Jr. On The Roster Bubble

As things currently stand in training camp, The Athletic's Daniel Popper lists Los Angeles Chargers tight ends Will Dissly, Hayden Hurst and Stone Smartt as the three TEs he thinks will make the final roster. Donald Parham Jr. and Ben Mason have missed significant practice time with injuries, and when Parham has been on the field, he has been working with the second and third teams. His blocking also remains a weakness. Zach Heins and Luke Benson have flashed at times, but they don't seem deserving of a roster spot over one of the other team's receivers. Smartt has improved as a blocker, which is why Popper thinks he'll earn a 53-man roster spot for a run-heavy Greg Roman offense this year. Parham's fantasy value in dynasty/keeper leagues is quickly evaporating, even though he set career-highs in catches (27), yards (285) and touchdowns (four) in 2023.

Donald Parham Jr. Leads The Chargers In Receiving In Week 18

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. led the team in receiving yards in a Week 18 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs backups. Parham was targeted six times, making five catches for 83 yards. Parham has always had tantalizing upside thanks to his size and athleticism, but injuries and inconsistency have left him as a fantasy afterthought despite all of that. The Chargers roster is sure to look quite different come Week 1 of next season, but Parham is unlikely to carve out a key role outside of his usual red zone involvement.

Donald Parham Jr. Removed From Injury Report Tuesday

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (shoulder) practiced fully on Tuesday ahead of his team's Saturday game against the Buffalo Bills. Parham missed his team's Week 15 game against the Las Vegas Raiders with a shoulder injury but appears to be over the injury and in line to take the field in Week 16. Parham will resume his role as the No. 2 tight end behind Gerald Everett heading into Saturday's contest, which leaves him as an uninspiring fantasy option heading into the fantasy semifinals matchups, especially now that backup quarterback Easton Stick is running the Chargers' offense.

Donald Parham Jr. Inactive For Thursday Night Football

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (shoulder) is not active for Thursday night's battle against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Parham put in some limited practices on a short week but will ultimately not play after receiving a questionable tag in Week 15. At best, the 26-year-old has a been a touchdown-dependent TE2 with a low ceiling and low floor in fantasy football, even with Gerald Everett injured. Parham has 22 catches for 202 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games in 2023. Everett is going to have a bigger role in the Chargers offense this week with target-hog receiver Keenan Allen (heel) out. However, Everett will still be only a TE2 streamer in deeper leagues with quarterback Easton Stick making his first career start and in primetime.

Donald Parham Jr. Uncertain For Week 15

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (shoulder) is questionable ahead of Thursday's meeting with the Raiders. The 26-year-old has been listed as a non-participant at practice all week, although it's hard to gauge how severe his injury is. Nonetheless, with Keenan Allen (heel) ruled out, Parham could see a few extra throws in his direction if he manages to shed his injury designation. But if he isn't on the field in Week 15, that should mean more targets for Gerald Everett.

Gerald Everett, Donald Parham Jr. Limited Again Tuesday

Los Angeles Chargers tight ends Gerald Everett (hip) and Donald Parham Jr. (shoulder) were both listed as limited participants in the team's second walkthrough practice this week on Tuesday. Both Everett and Parham should be ready to play on a short week this Thursday night against the Las Vegas Raiders. However, neither of them will be particularly attractive TE2 streamers in a good matchup now that quarterback Justin Herbert (finger) will miss the rest of the 2023 season. The 29-year-old Everett has been the starter for the Bolts at tight end when healthy, but he's been an inconsistent and touchdown-dependent TE2 option for fantasy managers in 2023 with 34 receptions for 293 yards and three touchdowns in his 11 games played.

Gerald Everett, Donald Parham Jr. Limited Monday

Los Angeles Chargers tight ends Gerald Everett (hip) and Donald Parham Jr. (shoulder) were both listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report. Everett and Parham are no stranger to the injury report this year, but their injuries this week shouldn't be serious enough to keep them from playing this Thursday evening against the Las Vegas Raiders. In the Week 14 loss to the Denver Broncos, Everett caught five of his eight targets for 39 yards, while Parham hauled in one of two targets for an 11-yard gain. Everett has been a touchdown-dependent, low-end TE2 in overall half-PPR points through 14 weeks in 2023 and will now be losing more fantasy value with quarterback Justin Herbert (finger) potentially missing the rest of the regular season after fracturing the index finger on his throwing hand on Sunday.

Donald Parham Jr. Practices Fully On Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hip) practiced fully on Wednesday ahead of his team's Week 12 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Parham caught four passes for 57 yards in his team's Week 11 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He spent some time on the injury report last week with a hip issue but he ultimately wound up playing through the injury. He now enters Week 12 still listed on the injury report with a hip issue, but his ability to practice fully is a good sign for his potential availability this weekend. Gerald Everett (back) might also be returning to action after missing Week 11, which would put a damper on Parham's fantasy outlook this weekend.
