Colby Parkinson Dynasty Value

Stanford continues to produce NFL tight ends, and Parkinson fits the mold. Three years in the Cardinal's pro-style system yielded 87 receptions for 1171 yards and 12 touchdowns across 31 games. The freshman year was quiet with 10 catches for 97 yards in 6 games, though 4 of those went for touchdowns. As a sophomore in 2018, Parkinson caught 29 balls for 485 yards and 7 scores over 13 games, averaging a strong 16.7 yards per reception. His junior season brought 48 catches for 589 yards in 12 games, raising the per-game rate to 4.0 receptions and 49.1 yards, though the touchdowns cratered to just 1. Career averages of 2.8 catches and 37.8 yards per game with a 13.5 yards-per-reception clip. At 252 pounds with a 4.77 forty and 32.5-inch vertical, Parkinson is a big target who runs adequate routes but will not run away from anyone at the next level. Stanford's system teaches NFL concepts, and that gives him a head start on the playbook. R4.133 for a pro-ready tight end whose size and system familiarity give him a clear path to a role, even if the athletic ceiling caps the upside.
