Finishes on high note with two TDs
Parker had six catches for 79 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets in Sunday's 35-23 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Parker's two-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter tied the score at 14 apiece. He added a 26-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to pull the Patriots within five, but New England couldn't complete the comeback in the season-ending loss. Parker has one more season on his contract, while fellow wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is set to be an unrestricted free agent. Parker turns 30 less than a month into New England's offseason, and he had just one touchdown in his first campaign with the…read more

Cleared for Week 18
Parker (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bills after practicing fully Friday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Parker, who last suited up Week 14, is thus slated to reclaim a key role in the Patriots' wideout corps in the regular-season finale. Prior to missing the last three games, Parker logged a 25-460-1 receiving line on 40 targets through 12 games, a rate of production that puts him on the fantasy radar in deeper formats in Week 18.

Limited at practice Wednesday
Parker (concussion) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
Analysis: In his first practice since suffering a concussion in the Patriots' Week 14 win over the Cardinals, Parker's reps were capped, but his return to the field in any capacity suggests that he has a chance to return to the lineup for Sunday's game against the Bills. If so, Parker would be in line to reclaim his usual starting role out wide for New England. In 12 appearances this season, Parker has put together a 25-460-1 receiving line on 40 targets.

Analysis: Parker is slated to practice for the first time since he suffered a concussion during the Patriots' Week 14 win over the Cardinals. The participation level of wideout, who has sat out the team's last three games, will be clarified once New England's initial Week 18 injury report is posted later Wednesday.

Ruled out for Week 17
Parker (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Dolphins, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: Parker will miss a third consecutive game. Kendrick Bourne stepped up in his absence against the Bengals in Week 16, mustering 100 yards and a touchdown as the No. 2 wide receiver option behind Jakobi Meyers. Parker will have one more chance to suit up in the regular season when the Patriots face the Bills in Week 18.

Still not practicing
Parker (concussion) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Parker didn't practice Wednesday and Thursday and is trending toward missing his third straight game Sunday against the Dolphins. If he's out this weekend, New England's Week 17 wideout corps would be led by Jakobi Meyers, Tyquan Thornton (knee), Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor.

Won't play versus Bengals
Parker (concussion) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bengals, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: With Parker out for the second consecutive week, Jakobi Meyers (shoulder, questionable), Nelson Agholor, Tyquan Thornton (knee, questionable), and Kendrick Bourne are in line to lead the team's Week 16 wideout corps, provided Meyers and Tyquan Thornton (both limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday) are active Saturday. Parker will target a potential return to action in Week 17 against the Dolphins.

Not practicing Wednesday
Parker (concussion) wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Parker, who was inactive for New England's Week 15 loss to Las Vegas due to the concussion, was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report. The wideout now has one more chance to get in some work ahead of Saturday's game against the Bengals, but at this point, Parker's status for the contest appears cloudy.

Listed as non-participant
Parker (concussion) is listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate.
Analysis: It's not the best sign for his availability Saturday against the Bengals, though Parker still has time to progress through the concussion protocol. He suffered the brain injury in a Week 14 win over Arizona on Monday Night Football, then sat out Sunday's loss to the Raiders six days later. Tyquan Thornton, Nelson Agholor and Jakobi Meyers (concussion) worked as New England's top three receivers this past weekend.

Will sit out Sunday
Parker (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest at Las Vegas.
Analysis: Parker suffered a head injury Monday in Arizona and was unable to return, and he eventually entered the concussion protocol, joining teammate Jakobi Meyers. While Meyers has a chance to limit himself to a one-game absence this weekend, Parker will sit out, leaving the Patriots with a potential receiving corps of Meyers, Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton, among others, Sunday. Parker's next opportunity to play will arrive Saturday, Dec. 24 against the Bengals.

Analysis: Parker missed practice Wednesday as well, so his status for Sunday's game against the Raiders is cloudy at this stage. If the wideout doesn't gain clearance to play this weekend, added Week 15 snaps would be available to some combo of Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton.

In protocol, missing from practice
Parker isn't practicing Wednesday after he entered the concussion protocol following his early exit in Monday's 27-13 win over the Cardinals, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: After sitting out the win over Arizona, fellow wideout Jakobi Meyers (concussion) was also absent from the media-access portion of practice, potentially putting both receivers at risk of missing Sunday's game against the Raiders. At this stage of the week, the Patriots' top healthy wideouts are Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton.

Downgraded to out Monday
Parker (head) won't return to Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Parker will finish the night with two catches for 24 yards. The Patriots will have to make do with a depleted receiving corps for the remainder of Monday's game, as No. 1 option Jakobi Meyers currently is sidelined by a concussion. Running back Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) also got hurt Monday, and while he was able to return, he eventually left the contest for good.

Suffers head injury in Arizona
Parker (head) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Parker was wobbly after making a 10-yard catch in the first quarter. The ball came out as he was going to the ground, so the Cardinals challenged, but the referees chose not to add insult to injury, so the questionable catch stood and gave Parker two receptions for 24 yards prior to his exit.

Quiet night in loss
Parker secured two of four targets for 16 yards in the Patriots' 24-10 loss to the Bills on Thursday night.
Analysis: Parker's night was in fairly stark contrast to his solid 4-80 line in the Patriots' Thanksgiving Night loss to the Vikings, as the veteran receiver was one of several of the team's pass catchers to underperform against a tough Bills defense. Parker's production has been extremely difficult to trust on a game-to-game basis, as he's now been at two catches and 19 yards or fewer in three of the last four contests. Bigger contributions may be more feasible in a Week 14 Monday night road matchup…read more

Analysis: Parker was listed as a limited participant on the Patriots' initial Week 13 injury report Monday, but the team provided no indication that the receiver was dealing with any setbacks in his recovery from the knee issue that kept him from playing Week 9 against the Colts. Following a Week 10 bye, Parker has proceeded to play 37 and 85 percent of the Patriots' snaps on offense in the ensuing two games.

Limited due to knee again
Parker (knee) was listed as a limited participant during Monday's practice.
Analysis: Parker went into New England's Thanksgiving Day matchup questionable due to the knee injury but led the team with 80 receiving yards on four catches. Given he played through the injury Week 12, the severity of the issue doesn't appear to be too serious. Parker will have two more opportunities to log a full practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Thursday's matchup against Buffalo.

Team-high yardage in Week 12 loss
Parker secured all four targets for 80 yards in the Patriots' 33-26 loss to the Vikings on Thursday night.
Analysis: Despite coming into the day listed as questionable with a knee injury, Parker ended up pacing the team in receiving yards. The veteran speedster logged a co-team-high 40-yard grab as well, and his yardage tally was his second highest of the season. Parker's first opportunity to build on Thursday's resurgent production comes in a Week 13 home battle against the division-rival Bills next Thursday night.

Analysis: In his return from a one-game absence, Parker logged a 40 percent snap share in the Patriots' Week 11 win over the Jets en route to catching both of his targets for 19 yards. After being listed as questionable for Thursday's contest, Parker is available and slated to continue to see his share of snaps alongside the team's top pass-catching option, Jakobi Meyers, with Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton also in the mix.

Questionable for Thursday
Parker (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Minnesota, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis: Parker sprained his knee Oct. 30 and missed one game, returning for this past Sunday's 10-3 win over the Jets en route to catching two passes for 19 yards on two targets. He played only 40 percent of snaps on offense in the contest, but a larger workload is possible in his second game back from the injury, assuming he isn't declared inactive ahead of the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Jakobi Meyers remains the only sure bet among New England's wide receivers to play more than half the offensive snaps.

Parker (knee) practiced on a limited basis Tuesday.
Analysis: With another limited listing under his belt during Week 12 prep, Parker has just one more chance to get back to all activity before the Patriots potentially tab him with a designation for Thursday's game at Minnesota. In his first action since Week 8 this past Sunday versus the Jets, he reeled in both of his targets for 19 yards.

Parker (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis: Parker returned to action Week 11 following a two-game absence due to a knee injury, so his limited designation likely can be attributed to rest.

Two catches in return
Parker (knee) caught both of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Parker was quiet in his first action since Week 8 as the defenses dominated in this one. He has topped 60 receiving yards three times but has failed to reach 25 yards in any other game for the Patriots. Parker should find getting separation easier against the Vikings on Thanksgiving, as New York's secondary has made life difficult for wide receivers all season.

Barring any setbacks while warming up, Parker will have a chance to log his share of snaps alongside Jakobi Meyers, with Tyquan Thornton, Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor also mixing in.

Analysis: After Parker sprained his knee Oct. 30 in an Week 8 win over the Jets, the Patriots' expectation was that the wideout would miss only one game before returning to action following the team's Week 10 bye. Even though he carries a questionable tag into the weekend after being limited in practices Wednesday through Friday, Parker appears to be on track in his recovery from the knee injury and looks like he'll be ready to suit up Sunday.

Avoids major injury
Parker (knee) suffered a sprain during Sunday's 22-17 win over the Jets and is not expected to miss extended time, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Parker would be expected to miss only one game if he does miss time, per Rapoport, as the Patriots will have a bye following Week 9's matchup against Indianapolis. Whether or not Parker does miss Week 9 will likely come down to what he's able to do in practices this week, so the 29-year-old wideout's situation will warrant monitoring. Tyquan Thornton, Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne would stand to handle increased work behind Jakobi Meyers if Parker can't suit up versus the Colts.

Analysis: Even with Nelson Agholor back in the mix and Tyquan Thornton claiming a bigger role in the New England offense, Parker led the Patriots' receiving corps with 68 yards. He did his damage primarily on contested jump balls, highlighted by a 43-yard gain midway through the second quarter to set up a touchdown for Rhamondre Stevenson.

Team-high yardage total in win
Parker secured four of six targets for 64 yards in the Patriots' 38-15 win over the Browns on Sunday.
Analysis: The veteran was one of several Patriots pass catchers to record a reception of over 20 yards and led the team in yardage overall. Parker's performance was an especially welcome sight after he was blanked over 28 snaps while also working with Bailey Zappe as his quarterback against the Lions in Week 5, and he'll now potentially have an opportunity to once again work in tandem with Mac Jones (ankle) in a Week 7 Monday night home matchup against the Bears.

Logs 31 snaps in Week 5
Parker, who was on the field for 31 of a possible 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 29-0 win over the Lions, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, did not record a catch in the contest.
Analysis: According to Nick O'Malley of masslive.com, both times Parker was the intended target Sunday, Detroit was flagged for pass interference. Five games into the current campaign, Parker has been targeted more than twice just one time, back in Week 3, when he recorded a 5-156-0 line on 10 targets. Until the 29-year-old begins to log steady volume, he'll continue to be a hit-or-miss fantasy option regardless of whether Week 5 starter Bailey Zappe or Mac Jones (ankle) is under center for the Patriots.

Scores TD in loss
Parker caught both of his targets for 24 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Parker followed last week's monster 156-yard outing by scoring his first touchdown as a Patriot. In reality, though, he was fortunate his touchdown play wasn't called dead due to a delay of game prior to the snap. Nevertheless, with a 25-yard score, the veteran wideout salvaged nice value, continuing his recent momentum ahead of Week 5's matchup versus the Lions.

Paces pass catchers in loss
Parker secured five of 10 targets for 156 yards in the Patriots' 37-26 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Analysis: Parker led the way for the Pats in receptions, receiving yards and targets, putting together a performance befitting of his downfield prowess. The veteran had just been shut out altogether in Week 2 and had recorded just one catch in the opener, so to say Sunday's performance came out of nowhere is an understatement. Parker could play a key role once again when the Patriots tangle with the Packers on the road in Week 4.

Held without a catch in Week 2
Parker, who was on the field for 52 of a possible 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 17-14 win over the Steelers, did not record a catch in the contest, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Though Parker logged the second-most snaps among the Patriots' wide receivers Week 2, he saw only two targets in the contest, with Jakobi Meyers (13 targets, nine catches) and Nelson Agholor (six catches on six targets) pacing the team's passing attack against Pittsburgh. Two games into his 2022 season, Parker has just one catch (on four targets) for nine yards, and until he picks up the pace the 29-year-old won't be a reliable fantasy option.

Parker, who was on the field for all 57 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-7 loss to Miami, caught one of his two targets for nine yards in the contest, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: From a fantasy perspective, the most encouraging thing about Parker's regular-season debut was his workload, as the 2015 first-rounder and Jakobi Meyers (50 snaps) were the Patriots' busiest wideouts Week 1, ahead of Nelson Agholor (33 snaps) and Kendrick Bourne (two snaps). While Parker no doubt will have better weeks production-wise, he'll profile as a speculative fantasy option until he sees increased target volume in New England's offense.

Pair of grabs in preseason loss
Parker brought in two of four targets for nine yards in the Patriots' 23-6 preseason loss to the Raiders on Friday night.
Analysis: Parker naturally opened the game with several of his first-unit teammates and drew the first target from Mac Jones as well. The veteran has reportedly acclimated effectively overall to the Patriots' offense following his offseason trade from the Dolphins, and Parker will now turn his attention to a Week 1 AFC East showdown against his old Miami teammates in South Florida on Sept. 11.

One catch Friday
Parker caught one of two targets for 17 yards in Friday's preseason game against the Panthers.
Analysis: The former Dolphin came out of the game soon after starting quarterback Mac Jones did, but Parker's lone catch came on a pass from veteran backup Brian Hoyer. Per Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald, coach Bill Belichick indicated after the game all his healthy starters would be available for New England's preseason finale next week against the Raiders, so Parker should get his best opportunity yet next Friday to establish some chemistry with Jones prior to Week 1.

Displays red-zone skills at practice
In Wednesday's training camp practice, Parker made a mark by scoring touchdowns on back-to-back plays during the Patriots' red-zone drills, Henry McKenna of USA Today reports.
Analysis: While we won't read too much into a couple of good plays during the early stages of training camp, it's encouraging that the 29-year-old wideout -- who arrived via a trade with Miami in April -- is healthy and off to a good start at practice this summer. At 6-foot-3, 218 pounds, Parker is a big-bodied receiver who could emerge as a useful red-zone target for second-year QB Mac Jones. While Jakobi Meyers, Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor all remain in the mix for targets and the Patriots added…read more

Bolsters Patriots' WR corps
The addition of Parker gives the Patriots "a physical boundary receiver with No. 1 potential," according to Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic.
Analysis: That's a notion echoed by ESPN's Mike Reiss, who suggests that Parker is projected to fill a role -- that of a big target who can win in contested-catch scenarios -- which 2019 first-rounder N'Keal Harry wasn't able to seize. Per Fairburn, if Parker can stay healthy, the 29-year-old has a chance to emerge as the Patriots' top wideout, but Jakobi Meyers, Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor all remain in the mix for targets, as do tight ends Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith. Despite the potential that…read more

Dealt to New England
The Dolphins have traded Parker and a 2022 fifth-round pick to the Patriots in exchange for a 2023 third-round pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: With the emergence of Jaylen Waddle in 2021 and the recent addition of Tyreek Hill, Parker was the odd-man out in Miami. He recorded just 40 receptions for 515 yards and two touchdowns across 10 games for the Dolphins last year. The veteran pass catcher will now look for a fresh start in New England, where he will have the opportunity to earn a significant role in the offense.

Quiet in Week 18 win
Parker secured two of four targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 33-24 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Parker saw his involvement on offense decline during the regular-season finale, after having drawn 13 looks from Tua Tagovailoa in Week 17. The veteran wideout ends his 2021 campaign with unimpressive numbers across 10 appearances, with 40 catches for 515 yards and two touchdowns on 73 targets. Parker has two years left on his four-year, $30.5 million contract, but with Miami having moved on from coach Brian Flores, more shakeups could be coming.

Sees big target boost in loss
Parker brought in four of 13 targets for 46 yards in the Dolphins' 34-3 loss to the Titans on Sunday.
Analysis: Parker easily paced the Dolphins in targets while co-leading the team in catches alongside Mike Gesicki. The veteran had gone without so much as a single target across 41 snaps back in Week 16 against the Saints, so despite the inefficiency Sunday, it was still a marked improvement from just six days prior. Parker faces a tough Patriots defense to close out the regular season in Week 18.

Not targeted in win
Parker failed to draw a target while playing 63 percent of the Dolphins' snaps on offense in Monday's 20-3 win over the Saints.
Analysis: The Week 16 contest marked the first time in eight appearances this season that Parker hadn't been targeted. Meanwhile, rookie wideout Jaylen Waddle drew a team-high 12 targets, with the large disparity likely a result of Parker being shadowed by star cornerback Marshon Lattimore for a good portion of the game while Tua Tagovailoa took what was given to him underneath.

Sets up two TDs then scores one
Parker caught four of eight targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Working as Miami's top wide receiver with Jaylen Waddle on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Parker led the team in receiving yards and tied tight end Mike Gesicki for the lead in targets. He set up Miami's first touchdown by getting the ball down to the two-yard line with a 37-yard catch, then set up the go-ahead score early in the fourth quarter by drawing a pass interference penalty in the end zone. After the Jets tied it up, Parker finally got into the end zone himself from 11 yards out to round…read more

Parker recorded five receptions on five targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 20-9 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Parker was able to suit up for the first time since Week 8 after being placed on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury. He finished fourth on the team with five targets, most notably working behind Albert Wilson. However, Parker made the most of his opportunities, getting looks in the short areas of the field and also converting a couple deep targets into receptions.

Off injured reserve
Parker (shoulder) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Parker has played in just one game since Week 4 thanks to a lingering shoulder issue. The veteran wide receiver had been quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's favorite target early in the season, but rookie Jaylen Waddle has assumed that mantle as of late. With a relatively easy schedule the rest of the way and Tagovailoa's emerging capabilities under center, it's possible Miami's offense could cater two fantasy-relevant wide receivers, although that does not factor in the potential return of Will…read more

May be activated for Week 13
Parker (shoulder) practiced throughout the week and could be activated from injured reserve before Sunday's game against the Giants, Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.
Analysis: The Dolphins need to make a move by Saturday at 4 p.m. ET to have Parker in the lineup for Sunday's game, which kicks off at 1 p.m. ET. The veteran wideout is averaging 5.0 catches for 65.4 yards on 8.6 targets per game this year, but he's played just one game since Week 4, and Jaylen Waddle's emergence could leave Parker with a smaller share of the Miami passing game going forward. On the other hand, Parker has done well in the two full games he and Tua Tagovailoa have played together this…read more

Not practicing to begin week
Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said that Parker (shoulder), who remains on injured reserve, is making progress but won't rejoin the team for practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Parker is eligible to play Sunday against the Panthers after spending the required three games on IR, but the fact that the Dolphins didn't open up his 21-day window evaluation for the start of Week 12 prep isn't a positive early sign for his chances of suiting up this weekend. Will Fuller (finger) also has yet to be designated for return from IR, so Miami could be in line for another game without two of its starting receivers.

Analysis: Parker is eligible to return as early as Sunday's upcoming game against the Panthers, but it looks like the Dolphins aren't yet certain whether he's progressed well enough in his recovery. Flores said the same of Will Fuller (finger). As the week goes on, the team will continue to evaluate both wideouts, but for now it looks like Tua Tagovailoa again could have to operate with the likes of Preston Williams, Mack Hollins, Isaiah Ford and Albert Wilson rotating into the lineup.

Suffers setback
Coach Brian Flores said Friday that Parker (shoulder/hamstring) suffered a setback this week and isn't expected to play Sunday against the Texans, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Analysis: The 28-year-old was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday, but it appears he may not be able to participate at Friday's session. Parker returned from a three-game absence last week against Buffalo and caught eight of 11 targets for 85 yards, but he's clearly not fully healthy. Jaylen Waddle should work as Miami's top wideout. Preston Williams was a healthy scratch Week 8 due to disciplinary reasons.

He played a healthy 91 percent of the offensive snaps in the contest, finishing with eight receptions for 85 yards on 11 targets. Assuming he didn't suffer any setbacks in Week 8, Parker's limitations to begin Week 9 are most likely maintenance-related. The wideout looks on track to remain a top target…read more

Busy day in return
Parker (shoulder/hamstring) secured eight of 11 targets for 85 yards in the Dolphins' 26-11 loss to the Bills on Sunday.
Analysis: Suiting up for the first time since Week 4, Parker comfortably paced the Dolphins across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The veteran wideout's numbers unfortunately came in another loss for the Dolphins, but with Will Fuller (IR/finger) still sidelined, Parker should continue to enjoy a robust role in Miami's inconsistent passing game against the porous Texans secondary Week 9.

Gets into end zone in loss
Parker secured four of nine targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 27-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
Analysis: The veteran put the finishing touches on a solid fantasy day with a three-yard touchdown grab in the fourth quarter. Parker led the Dolphins in receiving yardage with the help of a game-long 42-yard grab, and the late score was his first of the campaign. Parker has yet to exceed five receptions in any contest this season, but given Miami's shaky quarterback situation, he's actually served as a reliable week-to-week target thus far. Parker will look to build on the productive afternoon in a…read more

Quiet in overtime loss
Parker caught four of seven targets for 42 yards during Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: The 28-year-old finished a distant third in targets, as QB Jacoby Brissett targeted Jaylen Waddle and Mike Gesicki a combined 25 times, mostly in the short passing game. Parker had a strong debut with four catches for 81 yards, but he's struggled in the absence of Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) with 42 receiving yards in both of the past two contests. The season debut of Will Fuller (personal) also likely cut into Parker's workload in the passing game, and it will be difficult to trust either of those…read more

Doesn't make much of nine targets
Parker caught five of nine targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 35-0 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Parker led the team in targets and finished second behind Jaylen Waddle (six catches for 48 yards on eight targets) in both receptions and receiving yards. Miami's entire offense struggled, as backup Jacoby Brissett threw for just 169 yards on 40 attempts after replacing Tua Tagovailoa (ribs). Will Fuller (personal) would provide more competition for targets if he makes his return in Week 3 against the Raiders, and Miami's entire offense will be tough to trust if Tagovailoa remains sidelined.

Key role to continue in Week 2
Parker and Jaylen Waddle are in line to continue to serve as Miami's top wide receivers Sunday against the Bills, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
Analysis: Will Fuller, who was expected to return to the team's lineup this weekend, won't be available for Sunday's contest due to a personal matter. In Week 1, Parker recorded a 4-81-0 stat line on a team-high seven targets, while Waddle hauled in four of his five targets for 61 yards and a TD. Both players figure to continue to be key cogs in Miami's passing game in Week 2, with Albert Wilson, Preston Williams (foot/knee), Mack Hollins and Jakeem Grant also candidates to mix in.

Provides big plays
Parker recorded four receptions on seven targets for 81 yards in Sunday's Week 1 victory over New England.
Analysis: Parker took advantage of the absence of Will Fuller (suspension) to lead the team in both targets and yards. He served as a big-play threat throughout the contest, racking up gains of 30, 23, 15 and 13 yards. Though Parker missed significant portions of training camp, he managed to top 80 receiving yards -- a feat he accomplished only three times in 2020. Fuller's return in Week 2 against the Bills will crowd Miami's wide receiver corps, but Parker should keep a significant role in the offense.

Sheds non-contact jersey
Parker (undisclosed) is participating in Tuesday's practice without wearing a red non-contact jersey, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: The Dolphins spent the preseason easing Parker back into practice while he worked through an undisclosed injury, and his return to contact reps represents a significant step forward. Barring any setbacks, it looks like Parker can be considered on track for the Sept. 12 season opener in New England. Parker is slated for a key role in Miami's revamped receiving corps alongside new teammates Jaylen Waddle and Will Fuller (foot), though the latter won't be eligible to suit up until Week 2 due to a…read more

Parker (undisclosed) returned to practice Tuesday while donning a red non-contact jersey, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Parker began training camp on the PUP list and has been in and out of practice since being activated. It's encouraging to see him back on the field Tuesday, even if he only handles limited reps. Fellow starting wideout Will Fuller (foot/suspension) also returned to practice after having missed more than three weeks of on-field activities.

Parker (undisclosed) is not expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Falcons.
Analysis: Along with Parker, fellow wideouts Albert Wilson, Will Fuller, Lynn Bowden, Preston Williams and Isaiah Ford are listed as Miami players unlikely to play in the contest. It remains to be seen if Parker will suit up for the team's preseason finale, but it wouldn't surprise us if the team plays it safe with a number of its key skill players such as him next week, with an eye toward Week 1.

Parker will not play in Saturday's preseason game against Chicago.
Analysis: Given his experience and injury history, Parker might've been held out of the preseason opener even if he'd been enjoying a healthy training camp. In reality, he's been in and out of practice the past couple weeks, with the Dolphins seemingly limiting his workload to avoid any issues with the unspecified soft-tissue injury that landed him on the PUP list in late July.

Increasing practice workload
Parker progressively has increased his involvement in practice, including a busy session Saturday when he caught a bunch of passes from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in 11-on-11s, Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Parker was removed from the PUP list last Monday after missing the first week of camp with an unspecified soft-tissue injury. The Dolphins have a deep group at wideout this year, so while Parker's starting job may be safe, it's possible he rotates off the field a bit more often than in past years. He played 84 and 78 percent of Miami's snaps in his active games the past two seasons, despite making an early exit due to injury on three separate occasions.

Activated from PUP
The Dolphins removed Parker (undisclosed) from the PUP list Monday, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Reports suggest Parker is bothered by a minor soft-tissue injury, with his history of hamstring issues perhaps encouraging the Dolphins to be cautious. His ability to avoid those nagging injuries remains uncertain, but Parker at least should have plenty of time to prepare for Week 1, now battling for targets with the likes of Will Fuller (suspension) and Jaylen Waddle.

Parker (undisclosed) is recovering from a soft tissue injury that will need some rest so as to not become chronic, Armando Salguero of The Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: The injury reportedly isn't considered serious, but the timing was suboptimal with Parker hurting himself during a workout right before training camp. It'll be especially worrisome if this is a hamstring injury, as he's struggled with those through much of his career, including last season.

The Dolphins placed Parker on the PUP list Wednesday due to an unspecified injury, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: No injury or surgery was reported this offseason, with Parker's main concern being target and snap competition after the Dolphins signed Will Fuller and drafted Jaylen Waddle. Quarterback play is also a major issue, though the improved group of pass catchers should help Tua Tagovailoa look more comfortable than he did last season.

Could maintain No. 1 role?
Parker may still be the Dolphins' No. 1 receiver, even after the team added veteran Will Fuller and sixth overall pick Jaylen Waddle, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: It's far from a sure thing, considering Fuller had more yards (879) and touchdowns (eight) last season, despite being suspended the final five weeks. Granted, Fuller was playing with Deshaun Watson while Parker caught passes from Tua Tagovailoa and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Both wideouts now face QB uncertainty, and the Miami offensive line is another big question mark. On the other hand, the Dolphins now have a promising group of pass catchers, with Parker, Fuller and Waddle joined by TE Mike Gesicki…read more

Parker (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Analysis: After his hamstring injury sidelined him for the past two games, Parker received the green light for the regular-season finale. However, since Parker was a limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday, he'll likely be playing at less than 100 percent in the Week 17 matchup. Expect Parker to at least serve as one of the Dolphins' starting receivers, though his snap count could be monitored more than usual if his hamstring is inhibiting him during the contest.

Analysis: Parker was forced out of this past Sunday's contest with what was termed a leg injury, and while he was deemed questionable to return, he was unable to get back on the field. He thus was blanked on his two targets, marking just the second time this season he's failed to reach 30 receiving yards in a game.

Parker secured four of eight targets for 35 yards in the Dolphins' 19-7 win over the Bengals on Sunday. He eventually was ejected for fighting with 12:07 remaining in the fourth quarter, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Parker had a surprisingly meager stat line before his early exit on a day in which quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw for 296 yards, but he narrowly missed coming down with a couple of end-zone targets.

Analysis: His three-yard grab late in the first quarter gave the Dolphins an early lead, but it was the only TD they would score on the afternoon.

Parker and quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick have continued to demonstrate excellent chemistry in the early going despite the change in offensive schemes, as the 27-year-old now boasts an excellent 82.8 percent catch rate on his 29 targets through four games. Parker will look to carry over the momentum into a much…read more

Suffers ankle injury
Parker is questionable to return to Sunday's contest versus the Seahawks due to an ankle injury, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: After the Dolphins' initial drive of the game, Parker had his right foot examined before going to the locker room. With an official diagnosis known, there's still a chance he makes an appearance at some point Sunday. As long as Parker is away from the field, though, Preston Williams, Isaiah Ford and Jakeem Grant figure to be the top three wide receivers available to Miami's offense.

Parker suffered an apparent right foot injury during Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Parker made two catches for 14 yards on the Dolphins' first possession, only to visit the blue sideline tent afterward. Beasley noted the training staff looked at Parker's right foot or ankle before the wide receiver made his way to the locker room. If he misses any time Sunday, Preston Williams, Isaiah Ford and Jakeem Grant will be in line for additional targets from Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Paces receivers in win
Parker secured all five targets for 69 yards in the Dolphins' 31-13 win over the Jaguars on Thursday.
Analysis: Parker had shaken his hamstring concerns by putting in a full practice Wednesday, and he was able to log a normal workload while co-leading the team in receptions and setting the pace in receiving yardage. The 27-year-old has been able to carry over his 2019 rapport with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick into this season despite the limited practice time in a new offense, as he's now brought in 14 of 17 targets for 169 yards and a touchdown through three games.

Parker (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's contest against the Jaguars, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Parker was a full participant in Wednesday's practice after having kicked off the week with back-to-back limited sessions. After aggravating his hamstring injury against the Patriots in Week 1 and playing through the issue versus Buffalo in Week 2, Parker now looks primed to suit up at full health for the first time this season. Parker and quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will look to re-establish the lethal connection they showcased down the stretch in 2019.

The Dolphins listed Parker (hamstring) as a limited participant on their estimated practice report Tuesday, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Analysis: After aggravating a nagging hamstring in the Dolphins' Week 1 loss to the Patriots, Parker received clearance to play in Sunday's loss to the Bills and took on a full snap load while finishing with five receptions for 53 yards and a touchdown on eight targets. The Dolphins haven't provided any indication he suffered a setback during that contest, so the team may just be exercising caution with Parker's usage in practice with a Thursday night game on tap in Jacksonville.

Still managing hamstring injury
Parker (hamstring) is listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Parker managed to play through his hamstring issue against the Bills on Sunday, when he hauled in five of eight targets for 53 yards and a score. It looks like the top wideout avoided any serious setbacks, but he will now be facing a shortened week of practices before the Dolphins head to Jacksonville on Thursday. If he's indeed able to go Week 3, a matchup against Jacksonville's exploitable secondary will put Parker in a good position to produce a big fantasy day.

Parker (hamstring) secured five of eight targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 31-28 loss to the Bills on Sunday.
Analysis: Parker not only shed his questionable designation to suit up Sunday, but he made an impact with a two-yard touchdown grab to open the scoring for the Dolphins. The veteran ultimately finished third on the team in both receiving yardage and targets, producing a solid fantasy performance after entering the day as a true 50/50 proposition to take the field.

Parker (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Parker was forced out of Week 1's contest against the Patriots after aggravating his hamstring injury and was viewed as a game-time decision as Sunday's contest approached. The Dolphins' top wideout will be in uniform, but it remains to be seen how close to a full workload he'll see against the Bills' rugged defense in Week 2.

Analysis: Coach Brian Flores said earlier Friday that Parker will be a game-time decision after having been limited in practice all week, per Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com. It looks as though Parker has a fair shot to face the Bills, but a final decision on his status for Week 2 likely won't come until Sunday morning. No matter what, it's encouraging to see Parker making a strong push to retake the field after he aggravated his hamstring injury against the Patriots in Week 1.

Headed for game-time decision
Coach Brian Flores said Friday that Parker (hamstring) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Bills, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The final call on Parker's availability likely won't be made until Sunday morning. The 27-year-old put together a trio of limited practice sessions this week after aggravating his hamstring injury during Miami's season-opening loss to the Patriots. It looks like Parker has a fair chance to suit up Week 2, though he could end up seeing a snap count even if he's on the field, in which case Preston Williams and Mike Gesicki would be candidates to handle increased target shares against Buffalo.

Parker (hamstring) avoided a major setback and could play in Sunday's game versus the Bills, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Parker aggravated an existing hamstring injury during the season opener against the Patriots, and he was initially slated to miss some time. However, the 27-year-old receiver is apparantely doing better than expected. The team's top priority is likely to ensure this injury doesn't linger all season, so he'll be closely monitored during the upcoming practice week.

Analysis: Parker left Sunday's 21-11 loss to New England in the third quarter after he aggravated his hamstring injury from training camp. He caught each of his four targets for 47 yards prior to the early exit, but it sounds like his availability is in serious doubt for Week 2 against Buffalo.

Analysis: Parker battled a hamstring injury throughout the practice week, and he tried to play through it Sunday. However, it seemed to flare up on the 27-year-old wideout in the first half, and it seems unlikely he returns. Preston Williams will be the de facto No. 1 receiver while Parker is on the sidelines.

Analysis: Parker was hindered down the stretch of training camp and limited during the first two sessions of Week 1 due to a hamstring injury. That said, he capped the week with a "full" tag and will be ready to handle a starting spot at outside receiver in the season opener.

Analysis: Parker has tended to a concussion and hip injury during the final month of the season, but the latter won't impact his ability to serve as the Dolphins' No. 1 pass catcher this weekend. Just 46 yards shy of the first 1,000-yard season of his five-year career, he's a decent bet to get there Sunday versus a Cincinnati defense that has conceded 9.1 yards per target to wide receivers this season.

The newly extended wideout will have two more chances to upgrade his level of his practice activity ahead of a favorable matchup Sunday with the Bengals.

The 2015 first-round pick is quietly putting together a solid season, as he's become a favorite downfield target of Ryan Fitzpatrick's and now has 695 receiving yards through 11 games, the second-highest tally of his career. Parker has at least five receptions in five of the last six games, giving him a solid fantasy floor in all formats heading into a Week 13 battle versus the Eagles.

Speeds past defense in loss
Parker caught seven of 10 targets for 135 yards during Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: It was a rough day for the Dolphins, but Parker managed to make some big plays deep with a catch-and-run of 50 yards late in the second quarter and then a 45-yard catch down the sideline on fourth down midway through the fourth quarter. The Dolphins are battling with a depleted roster in a season that seems intended to jump on a rebuild, but a player of Parker's talents who is being fed the way Parker has still holds value. He's averaging 8.8 targets per game over his last five contests, but he…read more

Paces Dolphins with 10 targets
Parker converted five of his 10 targets into receptions for 69 yards in the team's Week 10 victory over the Colts.
Analysis: Parker continued his emergence as the team's alpha receiver, with no other Dolphin topping six targets. In addition to the volume, Parker provided some threat down the field by hauling in two passes for 20 or more yards and surpassing 10 yards on four of his five receptions. Though he has yet to reach the century mark, Parker now has four consecutive games with more than 50 receiving yards. However, he'll be put to the test in the team's Week 11 matchup against the Bills, as he is likely to be…read more

Ties career-best TD total
Parker hauled in four of six targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-18 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Parker's 17-yard touchdown in the second quarter was his fourth of the season, tying his career high set back in 2016. The 2015 first-rounder hasn't lived up to his lofty draft billing, but this subpar Miami team doesn't exactly have many alternatives to turn to on offense, so wide receivers Parker and Preston Williams -- who left in the fourth quarter due to a knee injury -- should continue to do most of the damage for the Dolphins. Up next for Parker is a Week 10 road clash with the Colts.
