News

  • Full participant Wednesday

    Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said Parham (hamstring) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice, Bridget Condon of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Parham logged his first full practice Friday ahead of Week 4, but the team opted to still keep the tight end sidelined for the Chargers' win over the Texans out of an abundance of caution. Barring any setbacks, it appears Parham will make his season debut in Week 5 against the Browns, but it's unclear what his role will be. Gerald Everett has emerged as Los Angeles' top tight end, but Parham figures to carve out a role ahead of Tre' McKitty and Richard Rodgers.

  • Remains out

    Parham (hamstring) is inactive Sunday against the Texans, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Parham was able to log a full practice Friday, but considering the time he has missed, the Chargers will make him wait at least one more week to return. In his absence, Gerald Everett will continue to operate as team's No. 1 tight end, while Tre' McKitty and Richard Rodgers provide depth.

  • Iffy for Week 4

    Parham (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Texans.

    Analysis: Parham is still looking to make his season debut while dealing with a hamstring injury he suffered in early August. However, he appears to be getting close to making his return to game action after logging his first full practice Friday. In his absence, Gerald Everett has emerged as the top tight end, but Parham, who's caught 30 passes for 349 yards and six touchdowns across his first two NFL seasons, will likely carve out a role when he gets back to full strength.

  • Limited in practice Wednesday

    Parham (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant on the Chargers' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Parham has yet to play this season after picking up a hamstring injury in early August. The tight end appeared to be working his way back after logging three limited practices in Week 3, but he was ultimately downgraded to doubtful and ruled inactive once again. Parham will have two more practices to improve his status before this Sunday's game against the Texans.

  • Out Sunday

    Parham (hamstring) is inactive Sunday against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Parham practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week, but the third-year-pro will have to wait another week to potentially make his season debut. In his absence, Tre' McKitty and Richard Rodgers will continue to see an increase in snaps. Parham will work to return in Week 4 against the Texans.

  • Now doubtful for Week 3

    The Chargers downgraded Parham's (hamstring) status for Sunday's game versus Jacksonville to doubtful Saturday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Parham practiced in a limited capacity this week and appeared to be trending in the right direction, but it appears he'll now have to wait until Week 4 at Houston to make his 2022 debut. Assuming he can't go, Gerald Everett and Tre' McKitty should continue to see most of the work at tight end for the Chargers.

  • Questionable for Week 3

    Parham (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Parham logged three limited practices Wednesday-Friday and has a chance to make his season debut Sunday. If available, Parham figures to garner a solid role next to newcomer Gerald Everett, who's caught nine of 14 targets for 125 yards and a score through his first two games with the Chargers.

  • Considered day-to-day

    Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said Tuesday that Parham (hamstring) is considered day-to-day, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Parham has yet to suit up this season due to a lingering left hamstring injury. In his absence, Tre' McKitty has operated as the No. 2 tight end behind Gerald Everett, who's caught nine of 14 targets for 125 yards and a touchdown over the first two games of the season.

  • Will sit out Week 2

    Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said Parham (hamstring) won't play Thursday against the Chiefs, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Staley ruled out Parham two days in advance of the Week 2 matchup while the tight end remained a spectator in practice due to the left hamstring injury that has bothered him for over a month. Tre' McKitty, who hauled in three of four targets for 24 yards in the Chargers' season-opening win over the Raiders last weekend, should remain the clear No. 2 tight end behind Gerald Everett while Parham is out Thursday.

  • No practice Monday

    Parham (hamstring) is listed as a non-participant on the Chargers' estimated practice report Monday.

    Analysis: Parham was inactive for Week 1 against the Raiders and likely will be a long shot to play in Thursday's matchup with the Chiefs after being labeled as a DNP on Monday. If Parham is sidelined again, expect Tre' McKitty to operate as the primary backup to Gerald Everett, who shined during his Chargers debut.

  • Inactive in Week 1

    Parham (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Raiders, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: As expected, Parham is unable to overcome his doubtful status to start the season. As a result, top tight end Gerald Everett could see some extra targets in his first regular-season game with the Bolts, while Tre' McKitty is likely to serve as his primary backup.

  • Doubtful for opener

    Parham (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's season opener against the Raiders.

    Analysis: With Parham -- who didn't practice this week -- not likely to suit up Sunday, Tre' McKitty figures to see added snaps Week 1 behind top tight end Gerald Everett.

  • Misses another practice

    Parham (hamstring) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Back-to-back missed practices set the stage for what Parham is able to do Friday to be pivotal with regard to his status for Sunday's season opener against the Raiders. If he's out or limited this weekend, Tre' McKitty would be a candidate to see added tight end snaps behind Gerald Everett.

  • Out of practice Wednesday

    Parham (hamstring) did not participate during the Chargers' practice Wednesday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Parham has been dealing with a left hamstring injury since the beginning of August that kept him sidelined throughout much of the Chargers' training camp. The 25-year-old did return to practice last Wednesday, but it appears this injury has popped back up heading into Week 1 against Las Vegas. Parham caught 20 of his 27 targets for 190 yards and three touchdowns over 14 games last season, and he should slot in alongside Gerald Everett for the Chargers' primary tight end duties in 2022.

  • Performs individual drills

    Parham (hamstring) returned to individual drills Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Parham hasn't practiced since injuring his left hamstring during a training camp practice at the beginning of August. He was initially considered week-to-week but hadn't shown much progress until he returned to practice Wednesday. If healthy for the Week 1 matchup with the Raiders, Parham could share reps at tight end with newcomer Gerald Everett.

  • Not at practice

    Parham (hamstring) isn't practicing Tuesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Parham has been out since the first week of August and continues to miss practice with less than two weeks to go before the Chargers' season opener. Gerald Everett and Tre' McKitty could pick up a few extra snaps and routes if Parham isn't ready for Week 1 against the Raiders.

  • Out another week

    Parham (hamstring) will miss another week, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Parham won't practice this week and will sit out a third straight preseason game when the Chargers face the Saints on Friday. Early reports suggested he'd miss about a week after injuring his hamstring Aug. 6, but he's now missing a third consecutive week of practice. If this lingers into the regular season, Gerald Everett and Tre' McKitty could pick up a few more TE snaps, while likely No. 3 receiver Joshua Palmer (concussion) could play a bit more as well.

  • 'Week-to-week' with hamstring issue

    Chargers head coach Brandon Staley called Parham "week-to-week" Wednesday due to the hamstring injury the tight end suffered during practice Aug. 6, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: At the time Parham sustained the injury, Staley noted that the 25-year-old would sit out for roughly one week of practice. Nearly a week and a half later, though, Staley clarified the situation, noting that the Chargers are just being "patient" with Parham, who is being classified as "more week-to-week than day-to-day." Considering those comments, Parham is in line to miss a second straight preseason contest Saturday against the Cowboys, giving him just one opportunity (Aug. 26 in New Orleans)…read more

  • Likely out a week

    Parham is dealing with a hamstring injury that likely will force him to miss approximately a week of practice, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Parham went down with an apparent leg injury during Saturday's practice, and coach Brandon Staley clarified Sunday that the tight end is dealing with a hamstring issue. The Chargers have their first preseason game Saturday, Aug. 13 against the Rams, and it certainly seems possible that Parham will be kept off the field. If the 24-year-old ultimately is sidelined, Tre' McKitty (undisclosed) and Hunter Kampmoyer could see increased looks versus the reigning Super Bowl champs.

  • Injures leg

    Parham injured his left leg during Saturday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear how serious the injury might be, but Parham ultimately never returned to Saturday's practice and was spotted with the back of his upper left leg heavily wrapped. Expect an update from the Chargers on the tight end's status in the coming days.

  • Looking good at camp

    Parham is having a "great" training camp, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic.

    Analysis: The 6-foot-8 tight end is again making his case for a prominent role, though offseason signing Gerald Everett still figures to get most of the snaps on third downs and other passing situations. While he has six TDs among his 30 catches in two NFL seasons, Parham isn't likely to see enough volume to go with the splash plays unless Everett misses time.

  • Agrees to contract tender

    Parham has officially signed his exclusive rights free agent tender with the Chargers, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The tight end -- who saw his receptions double from 10 in 2020 to 20 in 2021 -- will jostle for snaps behind former Seahawk Gerald Everett, who Los Angeles signed in April. Also currently in the mix at the position with Parham are Tre' McKitty and Hunter Kampmoyer.

  • More competition on tap

    Parham faces additional competition at tight end in 2022 after the Chargers opted to sign Gerald Everett in March, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Not only does Everett project to be the team's No. 1 tight end this season, head coach Brandon Staley suggested the team is still interested in adding another one to the mix. While nominal third-stringer Stephen Anderson signed a one-year contract with the Cardinals earlier this offseason, it's possible Parham might find himself in a full-fledged battle for the No. 2 role, much less a starting spot, after he spent the majority of the offseason to date as the team's lone quality option at the…read more

  • Gets contract tender for 2022

    The Chargers have extended a contract tender to Parham, per Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus.

    Analysis: With the reported move, Parham -- an exclusive rights free agent -- is on track to reclaim his role in the Chargers offense in 2022. With that in mind, Kyed adds that Parham has been fully cleared from the concussion that landed him on IR late last season. The 6-foot-8, 237-pounder caught 20 of his 27 targets for 190 yards and three TDs in 14 contests last season. With last year's top pass-catching TE Jared Cook headed for free agency, Parham -- who turns 25 in August -- could potentially see…read more

  • Placed on IR

    The Chargers have placed Parham (concussion) on injured reserve.

    Analysis: Parham suffered a concussion in Week 15 versus the Chiefs. It was severe enough that he will now need to spend at least the next three weeks on injured reserve.

  • Won't play Week 16

    Parham (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Houston.

    Analysis: Parham suffered the concussion Week 15 against Kansas City and was unable to clear the NFL's concussion protocol this week. Stephen Anderson will serve as the Chargers' No. 2 tight end Sunday behind starter Jared Cook.

  • Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Parham (concussion) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice session.

    Analysis: Parham was stretchered off the field in Thursday's loss to Kansas City and was diagnosed with a concussion after the game. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity this week if he hopes to play Sunday against Houston.

  • Diagnosed with concussion

    The Chargers announced that Parham sustained a concussion in Thursday's 34-28 overtime loss to the Chiefs but is otherwise resting comfortably and is likely to be discharged from a hospital later Friday.

    Analysis: Though the concussion clouds Parham's availability heading into the final three games of the regular season, the diagnosis is a welcome outcome after the tight end appeared to lose consciousness and was subsequently stretchered off the field early in the first quarter when his head slammed hard into the ground. Fortunately for Parham, he was deemed to be in stable condition upon arriving at the hospital, and follow-up tests and imaging revealed nothing beyond the concussion. He'll now have to…read more

  • Suffers head injury

    Parham suffered a head injury in Thursday's game against the Chiefs and was transported to the hospital for further evaluation, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Analysis: It appeared that Parham had hauled in a touchdown in the back corner of the end zone to conclude the Chargers' opening drive. However, he suffered a head injury on the play and spent several minutes being tended to by trainers before taken off the field on a stretcher. There's no further official word on the injury, though he was seen moving his extremities.

  • Clear of injury designation

    Parham (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Parham worked as a full practice participant Wednesday and was able to avoid the questionable tag for the Week 15 game. Top tight end, Jared Cook (quadriceps) is also good to go for Thursday, so Parham should fill his usual role as the Chargers' No. 2 option at the position.

  • Listed as limited Tuesday

    Parham (knee) was limited on Tuesday's estimated practice report.

    Analysis: Like top tight end Jared Cook (quadriceps), Parham improved upon his listing of DNP on Monday, fitting in some reps at a walkthrough Tuesday. Ultimately, Wednesday's injury report will reveal whether the players emerge from Week 15 prep with or without designations for Thursday's game against the Chiefs.

  • Two catches in win

    Parham caught both of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 37-21 win over the Giants on Sunday.

    Analysis: Parham played 41 percent of all offensive snaps, but he was held in check against a New York defense that gives up the 14th most yards to the tight-end position. After catching three touchdowns in his first six games this season, the young tight end has not caught a TD pass in his last five outings. For the 24-year-old to be an effective tight end in fantasy, he must figure out a way to get back in the end zone due to a lack of targets (26 in 13 games). Parham and the Chargers get a Chiefs…read more

  • Dealing with knee injury

    Parham (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Parham has recorded multiple receptions in seven games this season, including the last two weeks. However, he apparently picked up a knee injury during Sunday's win over the Giants that would've kept him out of practice Monday. His practice status should be monitored leading up to Thursday night's divisional clash with the Chiefs.

  • Two catches in win

    Parham caught two of his four targets for three yards during Sunday's 41-22 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Parham recorded his second-straight game with fewer than 10 receiving yards and was on the field for a season-low 16 offensive snaps. Although the Chargers have given Parham additional opportunities lately with starter Jared Cook struggling, the 6-foot-8 target failed to produce for the second game in a row. Even in the red zone, the one place Parham theoretically should excel, the Chargers looked instead to Keenan Allen (who scored twice) and lead back Austin Ekeler. If this game proves to be…read more

  • One catch in loss

    Parham tallied one reception for five yards during Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: Parham averages less than two targets per game but has totaled three touchdowns this season. The second-string tight end has seen 39 percent of offensive snaps over the year. Parham doesn't get enough playing time to be a critical target for Justin Herbert, so his fantasy value is touchdown dependent.

  • Most catches of season

    Parham caught four of his five targets for 38 yards in the 41-37 win over Pittsburgh on Sunday.

    Analysis: Parham continues to cut into Jared Cook's workload, as he was on the field for 42 percent of offensive snaps. The young tight end has now caught three or more passes in two of his last three games. The 2019 undrafted free agent's usage should continue throughout the remainder of the season, particularly as he continues to excel in the red zone.

  • Records one catch

    Parham caught one of two targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 27-20 loss against the Vikings.

    Analysis: Parham continued to function in his role as the secondary tight end option on the team and saw 26 offensive snaps. His lone catch helped advance the ball into Minnesota territory and contributed to a touchdown drive early in the third quarter. Although Parham hasn't been a major focal point for the offense, he has been looked upon in the red zone at a very high rate (four of his 14 targets have been in the red zone), which has translated into three touchdowns on the year. Parham is only…read more

  • Scores touchdown again

    Parham caught all three of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Eagles on Sunday.

    Analysis: Parham consistently has seen around 20-30 snaps every given game, but a heavy three tight-end scheme saw Stephen Anderson, Jared Cook and Parham all factor into the offensive equation. The big-bodied target managed to capitalize on single coverage in the red zone to rumble ahead for the go-ahead score in the third quarter, but more importantly Parham saw his most targets since Week 4. Expect the 24-year-old to be a perpetual touchdown-dependent fantasy asset most weeks.

  • Scoring stretch ends

    Parham caught both of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: After scoring in back-to-back weeks, Parham saw fellow tight end Jared Cook score the team's lone touchdown in what quickly turned into a Ravens rout. The big-bodied target has seen a smattering of targets game planned for him on a week-to-week basis, but is hardly consistent enough for him to be relevant save for deeper fantasy formats.

  • Scores in back-to-back games

    Parham caught both of his targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 47-42 win over the Browns. He also snared a two-point conversion.

    Analysis: Parham capitalized on a nifty bit of playcalling, scoring from 22 yards out to get the Chargers on the board in the first quarter. Later, the 6-foot-8 target flexed his utility in the red zone, grabbing a two-point conversion to kickstart the team's double-digit comeback. While Parham's specific utility as a red-zone threat might hinder his fantasy value, he's clearly become a focal point in that area and could become more relevant if he's able to earn more consistent playing time.

  • Snares TD in win

    Parham caught two of his three targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 28-14 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Parham saw a slight uptick in playing time (56 percent offensive snaps) with the Chargers ahead for the entirety of the contest. The 6-foot-8 behemoth even put his height to good use, capitalizing on his first red zone target of 2021 for just his fourth career touchdown. It's a bit surprising Parham hasn't been utilized more near the goal line given his unmatched size, but given how efficient the Chargers have been in that area over the past three weeks, the 24-year-old might be more of a…read more

    Analysis: Parham has received just two targets through three games, and this was his first reception of the year. The 24-year-old tight end has recorded between 45 and 51 percent of the offensive snaps in each contest this season. Jared Cook has logged at least 56 percent in each matchup.

  • Returns for preseason finale

    Parham (tailbone) returned for Saturday's preseason game against Seattle, catching his lone target for five yards.

    Analysis: Parham missed the previous game with a tailbone injury, slowing down his momentum after reports from training camp named him as one of the early standouts. He should have a depth role this season, but fantasy utility will be a long shot unless veteran tight end Jared Cook misses time.

  • Missing time with injury

    Parham did not play in Sunday's preseason loss after aggravating a tailbone injury in Friday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Parham arguably has been one of the team's biggest training-camp standouts to date, seemingly gaining an innate rapport with quarterback Justin Herbert, particularly in the red zone. The injury, which initially occurred earlier in the week and was aggravated in a jump-ball situation Friday, doesn't seem to be serious, but any lingering issues could allow for 2021 third-round pick Tre' McKitty to play his way into a larger role behind starter Jared Cook.

  • Bigger role on tap?

    Parham is expected to see a bigger role in the offense entering the new season, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: Parham thus far has been one of the early standouts through training camp, flashing his athleticism after the catch while also improving as a blocker. The latter will be the key to additional reps for Parham considering the Chargers figure to use veteran tight end Jared Cook almost exclusively as a receiving threat. The 6-foot-8 former XFL tight end already was considered a favorite red-zone threat of quarterback Justin Herbert's, so any sort of additional playing time should only benefit…read more

  • Facing new competition at TE

    Parham could face competition for the No. 2 tight end role after the Chargers drafted Tre' McKitty in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Chargers seem intent on rostering a strictly blocking tight end, a role some thought the 6-foot-8 Parham was well suited for after an overachieving rookie debut. Much like Virgil Green in past seasons, McKitty seems pigeonholed into the aforementioned role by the Chargers brass, which could cut into Parham's already limited workload. With Jared Cook already established as the team's top pass-catching option at TE, Friday's third-round selection might remove any possibility of Parham having…read more

  • Snags TD to finish season

    Parham caught three of his four targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in the 38-21 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Analysis: Parham again got the start with Hunter Henry on the reserve/COVID-19 list and put together a second consecutive respectable outing. The former XFL tight end concludes his first campaign in the NFL with 10 receptions for 159 yards and three touchdowns, but the 6-foot-8 behemoth should be poised for at minimum a depth role next year after having to fight for a roster spot entering the 2020 campaign.

  • Full practice Thursday

    Parham (illness) practiced fully Thursday.

    Analysis: With Hunter Henry still on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Parham could be in line for an expanded role again Week 17 if Henry isn't activated in advance of Sunday's contest against Kansas City. In such a scenario, Parham would continue to work in a tight end timeshare with Stephen Anderson. In the Chargers' Week 16 win over the Broncos, Parham caught two of his three targets for 47 yards, while Anderson chipped in four catches (on six targets) for 48 yards.

  • Resumes practicing

    Parham (illness) was back at practice Thursday, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: It remains to be seen if he'll be listed as a full or limited participant, but with Hunter Henry still on the reserve/COVID-19 list as of Thursday, Parham could be in line for added work again Week 17 if Henry isn't activated before Sunday's game against Kansas City.

  • Misses practice Wednesday

    Parham didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness.

    Analysis: With Hunter Henry on the reserve/COVID-19 list and Parham now dealing with an unspecified ailment, Stephen Anderson is the Chargers' top healthy tight end at this stage of the week. While Henry sat out last week's win over Denver, Parham played 81 percent of the Chargers' offensive snaps and finished with two receptions for 47 yards on three targets.

  • Gets start in win

    Parham caught two of his three targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Parham got the start in place of Hunter Henry (reserve/COVID-19 list) and played 81 percent of the team's offensive snaps, but the XFL star was overshadowed by Stephen Anderson who nearly led the team in receiving. The lack of targets is slightly troubling considering Parham previously appeared to have the one-up on Anderson for the team's backup TE spot, but the massive difference in snap count should still give fantasy managers some semblance of confidence in using the 6-foot-8 option if…read more

  • Likely starting this week

    Coach Anthony Lynn said Parham will start at tight end if Hunter Henry isn't removed from the COVID-19 list for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: With Henry looking unlikely to play, Parham and Stephen Anderson are the only tight ends on the roster. The Chargers may promote Matt Sokol from the practice squad before Sunday's game, but Parham still will be the favorite to get targets. The 6-foot-8 tight end had 307 yards and four touchdowns in five XFL games earlier this year, but he's caught just five of 15 targets for 75 yards and two TDs for the Chargers, averaging 12.5 offensive snaps in 11 appearances.

  • Season high in receptions

    Parham caught two of his four targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 45-0 loss against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Parham did see a season-high in receptions (two), targets (four), yards (21) and snaps (19), but it's a byproduct of the Patriots taking away most of the Chargers' offensive options. Next week, the 23-year-old will likely revert back to his minimal role as the Chargers take on the Falcons, whose weak defense to tight ends will allow for Hunter Henry to see more opportunities.

  • No targets against Jets

    Parham didn't receive a target in Sunday's win over the Jets.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old tight end failed to catch a pass for the third time in four games. Parham has enjoyed some success this year with two of his three receptions happening in the end zone. However, his upside is severely capped as the No. 2 option behind Hunter Henry.

  • No receptions in loss

    Parham caught zero of his three targets in Sunday's 31-26 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Parham's most memorable target came on the game's final play when quarterback Justin Herbert attempted to hit the 6-foot-8 tight end on a game-winning fade toward the upper right corner of the end zone only for the pass to be ruled incomplete upon review. Virgil Green (ankle) remains on IR, which gives Parham the opportunity to contribute more to the Chargers' offense, but it's hard to expect much from the big-bodied target. The tight end played a mere nine snaps Sunday and will most likely…read more

  • Zero targets

    Parham did not see any targets in Sunday's 31-30 loss against Denver.

    Analysis: Parham played a paltry 10 offensive snaps in the absence of Virgil Green (ankle) who was placed on IR. Not surprisingly, the former XFL standout wasn't able to replicate his one-touchdown performance from last week and hardly figures to be an attractive fantasy asset so long as Hunter Henry (84 snaps Sunday) remains healthy.

  • Touchdown in win

    Parham caught one target for 22 yards and scored a touchdown in Sunday's 39-29 win against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Justin Herbert targeted the tight end for a 22-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter accounting for his first and only score of the game. No. 2 tight end Virgil Green suffered an ankle injury during the third quarter and will most likely be placed on injured reserve, which should push Parham to the No. 2 role behind Hunter Henry, although Stephen Anderson could also play a factor as well. In any case, Parham's touchdowns have mostly been a byproduct of well designed plays as opposed to any…read more

  • Targeted once in loss

    Parham failed to haul in his lone target in Monday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: After turning his first career target into a 19-yard touchdown reception Week 4 against the Buccaneers, Parham wasn't quite as lucky Monday. The former XFL standout remains an intriguing prospect, but so long as Hunter Henry is healthy, Parham likely won't have a consistent role in the Los Angeles passing game.

  • Catches touchdown in lone snap

    Parham caught his only target for a 19-yard touchdown in the 38-31 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: The XFL star actually saw just one snap the entire game, but he made it count with a nifty touchdown reception off a well-designed play-action pass in the second quarter. Parham has been a healthy inactive in each of the past three games prior to Sunday, so it's unlikely this will be anything more than a career footnote unless injuries affect the top of the Chargers' tight end depth chart.

  • Inactive Week 2

    Parham (coach's decision) will not suit up for Los Angeles' Week 2 matchup against the Chiefs, per the Chargers' official Twitter account.

    Analysis: The Stetson product still waits for the chance to make his NFL regular-season debut, after playing for the XFL's Dallas Renegades this past winter. Hunter Henry will, of course, serve as the starter against Kansas City, while Virgil Green and Stephen Anderson stand to see action in multi-tight end sets.
