Colby Parkinson start or sit: Week 11 fantasy football advice

Week 11 of the 2025 NFL season rolls on and the action will continue this afternoon with a battle for first place in the NFC West as the Seattle Seahawks visit the Los Angeles Rams at 4:05 p.m. ET on FOX.

The Rams have rattled off four straight victories and are coming off a 42-26 punking of the 49ers in that divisional showdown last Sunday. Tight end Colby Parkinson had a helping hand in the winning effort and he’ll look to do the same in this critical matchup this afternoon.

Below, we’ll go over Parkinson’s outlook in fantasy football for Week 11.

Fantasy Football analysis: Rams TE Colby Parkinson

Parkinson caught four of five targets for 41 yards and his first touchdown of the season in last week’s win over the 49ers. It was his season-high for targets and something that should be noted is that he, Tyler Higbee, and Davis Allen were all on the field for at least 51% of the offense’s snaps for a second week in a row. The Rams have increased their usage of 13-personnel (one running back, three tight ends) and actually lead the league in plays run out of this formation.

With two All-Pro wide receivers in Puka Nacua and Davante Adams on the field, the deployment of three tight ends puts opposing defenses in tough predicaments and that allows for veterans like Parkinson to have an impact like he did last week. We’ll see if that works out for him and the Rams this afternoon.

Start or sit in Week 11?

Sit. The Seahawks have actually been vulnerable against opposing tight ends this season, yielding an average of 10 fantasy points a game to the position. Collectively, the Rams’ tight ends can do some damage here. Individually, however, I don’t see Parkinson producing enough to warrant a start in his own this week.
