Fantasy football advice
Parker has played in 12 games this season. He has 25 receptions on 40 targets for 460 yards and a touchdown. He plays a much more important real-life football role to his team than he does a fantasy football one. Parker provides quarterback Mac Jones with a reliable option in the offense, but he doesn’t garner a big enough target share consistently to be used in fantasy football lineups. Even if Parker is active, he shouldn’t crack your lineups in Week 16 with a potential spot in the championships on the line.
