Chargers' Donald Parham: Zeros on the board in loss
Rotowire
Parham didn't record a target in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Ravens.
After coming off a season-high six targets and 57 yards in Week 11 with teammate Gerald Everett injured (chest), Parham struggled to find opportunities in the passing game, recording his third outing of the season with no catches. Although on the field for 28 snaps, the 26-year-old was outplayed by Everett, who finished with four receptions for 42 yards and a touchdown, and even had one less target than third-string tight-end Stone Smartt (one). With a struggling team in need of a spark late in the season, Parham should have some opportunities to make plays but will struggle to find a sufficient workload if Everett continues to be healthy in the coming weeks.

Chargers' Donald Parham Jr.: Week 12 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
We'll see if Gerald Everett (chest) can play in Week 12 against Baltimore, but if he's out then Parham can be a quality replacement option. Everett has missed two games in the past four weeks, and Parham scored at least 9.7 PPR points in each outing, including Week 11 at Green Bay with four catches for 57 yards on six targets. It's not an easy matchup against the Ravens, but Justin Herbert needs help in the passing game, so Parham would be a low-end starter in deeper leagues. He's worth adding for up to 5 percent of your FAB.

Chargers' Donald Parham: Solid display Sunday
Rotowire
Parham caught four of six targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Packers.
Parham put together a season high in yardage while teammate Gerald Everett (chest) was sidelined. Along with Parham's production, fellow tight end Stone Smartt scored a 51-yard touchdown Sunday, giving Los Angeles a great return from the position despite missing its top option. Parham's stock in Week 12 versus the Ravens figures to be somewhat dependent on Everett's availability.

Chargers' Donald Parham Jr.: Sleeper TEs
Rotowire
Gerald Everett (back) is hurt, and Parham could be a solid replacement option if Everett is out in Week 11 at Green Bay. Everett missed Week 8 against Chicago with a hip injury, and Parham had four catches for 43 yards and a touchdown on five targets against the Bears. There have been five tight ends with at least five targets against the Packers this season, and four of them scored at least 8.7 PPR points. Consider Parham a low-end starter in deeper leagues if Everett is out.

Chargers' Donald Parham: Playing Week 11 sans Everett
Rotowire
Parham (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers.
Parham is good to go after logging a full practice Friday. He'll be the top available tight end for the Chargers, as Gerald Everett (chest) has been ruled out. Parham scored three touchdowns in the season's first three games, but he has just one TD since then and has exceeded 22 yards only once in 2023.

Chargers' Donald Parham: Upgraded to limited Thursday
Rotowire
Parham (hip) was limited in Thursday's practice.
It's an upgrade for Parham after he missed Wednesday's session. Through nine games this season, Parham has just 15 catches for 122 yards but has secured four touchdowns. He's a red-zone favorite of Justin Herbert but little else.

Chargers' Donald Parham: Dealing with hip injury
Rotowire
Parham didn't practice Wednesday due to a hip injury.
The severity of Parham's injury isn't clear, but it's not ideal that he's missing the Chargers' first Week 11 practice, especially with top tight end Gerald Everett (back) also sidelined for practice. Parham played 43 percent of the snaps on offense in the Chargers' 41-38 loss to the Lions this past Sunday, finishing with two catches for 18 yards on two targets.

Chargers' Donald Parham Jr.: Week 11 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Parham could get a boost in value if Gerald Everett (back) is out in Week 11 at Green Bay. Everett missed Week 8 against Chicago with a hip injury, and Parham had four catches for 43 yards and a touchdown on five targets against the Bears. If Everett is out then Parham would be a low-end starter in all leagues, and he's worth adding for 1 percent of your FAB.

Chargers' Donald Parham: Hardly utilized again
Rotowire
Parham caught both of his targets for 18 yards in the 41-38 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Parham once again received a red-zone target, but he was unable to bring it down. He continues to see close to 30 snaps a game on average, but he's drawn just 10 total targets over the last four contests in which Gerald Everett has been healthy.

Chargers' Donald Parham Jr.: Week 9 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
We'll see if Gerald Everett (quadriceps) can return in Week 9 at the Jets, but Parham stepped up with Everett out in Week 8 against the Bears. He had four catches for 43 yards and a touchdown on five targets, and it was the best game of the season in targets, receptions and yards. It was also his fourth touchdown of the year, and Parham can be considered a low-end starter in all leagues if Everett misses Week 9. Add Parham for up to 5 percent of your FAB.

Chargers' Donald Parham: Scores red-zone TD again
Rotowire
Parham caught four of his five targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in the 30-13 win over the Bears on Sunday.
Parham's touchdown was his fourth red-zone score of the year and capped off what was a productive first-half for the Chargers against a clearly limited Bears team overall. Despite Gerald Everett (hip) being unavailable, Parham didn't deviate too much from his playing-time splits, as Stone Smartt (39 snaps) and Tre' McKitty (15 snaps) each saw plenty of time even though the running game (54 yards on 25 carries) failed to take off. Expect Parham to be a potential low-end fantasy start Week 9 if Everett is once again unavailable.

Chargers' Donald Parham Jr.: Sleeper TEs
Rotowire
If Gerald Everett (quad) is out in Week 8 against the Bears then Parham could be considered a low-end starter in all leagues, with his value slightly higher in non-PPR. Parham has been touchdown dependent this season when he scored three touchdowns in his first three games, but he doesn't have more than three catches or 22 yards in any game this year. Everett has scored a touchdown in each of his past two outings against the Cowboys and Chiefs, and the Bears have allowed four tight ends to score at least 10.1 PPR points this season.

Chargers' Donald Parham Jr.: Week 8 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
With Gerald Everett (quadriceps) hurt in Week 7 at Kansas City, we could see a bigger role for Donald Parham coming up in Week 8 against the Bears and possibly longer. We don't know how long Everett will be out, but Parham could emerge as a quality Fantasy option with more targets. Parham has been touchdown dependent this season when he scored three touchdowns in his first three games, but he doesn't have more than three catches or 22 yards in any game this year. Keep an eye on Everett's status, and Parham could be worth an add in deeper leagues for 1 percent of your FAB.

Chargers' Donald Parham: Just three targets in loss
Rotowire
Parham caught one of his three targets for nine yards in the 31-17 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
Parham once again barely was utilized, and one of his three targets ended up drawing Justin Herbert's first interception of the afternoon. The veteran's 25 offensive snaps was also his second fewest of the season. The big-bodied target is just too specialized as an offensive weapon to be consistently fantasy relevant, but that could change depending on the status of Gerald Everett, who left Sunday's game with a quad injury.

Chargers' Donald Parham: Catches two passes
Rotowire
Parham caught two of his three targets for 19 yards in a 20-17 loss to the Cowboys on Monday.
Parham played 30 offensive snaps despite being a game-time decision due to a wrist injury, and the big-bodied tight end saw the majority of his work during the Chargers' litany of goal-line possessions, very few of which were converted into touchdowns. The fourth-year pro is easily poised to surpass every one of his career highs, but unless he's able to separate from fellow TE Gerald Everett in terms of playing time, the career-best season won't translate into consistent fantasy production.

Chargers' Donald Parham: Active for Monday's game
Rotowire
Parham (wrist) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Cowboys.
Parham, who sprained his right wrist in the Chargers' Week 4 win over the Raiders, was limited this past Thursday in the team's first practice coming off a bye, but the tight end was able to practice fully both Friday and Saturday, before being listed as questionable for Monday night's contest. With his Week 6 availability confirmed, Parham will continue to work alongside fellow TE Gerald Everett, a context that has resulted in Parham catching six passes (on eight targets) for 33 yards and three TDs through four games, while Everett has recorded a 13-107-0 receiving line in that same span.

Chargers' Donald Parham: Questionable for Monday
Rotowire
Parham (wrist) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Cowboys.
Parham was a full participant in practice both Thursday and Friday, yet the Chargers still chose to keep him on the injury report ahead of Monday's contest. The big-bodied tight end sprained his wrist back in Week 4 and certainly seems to be trending in the right direction following the team's Week 5 bye. More information regarding his status will likely emerge prior to the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Chargers' Donald Parham: Practices fully ahead of MNF
Rotowire
Parham (wrist) practiced fully Friday.
Parham, who sprained his right wrist in the Chargers' Week 4 win over the Raiders, was limited Wednesday in the team's first practice coming off a bye, but the tight end's upgrade to full participation Friday has him on track to play Monday night against the Cowboys. In that context, Parham will continue to work in tandem with fellow TE Gerald Everett, an arrangement that's resulted in Parham catching six passes (on eight targets) for 33 yards through four games, with three of his catches having gone for touchdowns.
