2024 Fantasy Outlook
Parham is the top returning tight end for the Chargers, but he projects to work behind offseason additions Will Dissly and Hayden Hurst after looking up at Gerald Everett on the depth chart in 2023. The 6-foot-8 Parham was a red-zone weapon for Justin Herbert last season, as his seven targets inside the 10-yard line matched Everett’s total. Parham parlayed those opportunities into a career-high four touchdowns, and he also set career highs in targets (41), catches (27) and receiving yards (285). While Parham’s unlikely to see a significant influx of total targets, he’ll likely remain a factor near the goal line and could help fill the void created by the offseason departures of Austin Ekeler, Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Everett.

Headed to Mile High City
Parham signed with the Broncos' practice squad Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Parham spent the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Chargers, during which he accumulated 67 catches for 764 yards and 11 touchdowns across 47 regular-season games. The Broncos have Adam Trautman and Greg Dulcich as their top two tight ends on the depth chart, and Parham should have a good chance of being elevated to the active roster at some point during the regular season.

2021
Parham was expected to be a major part of Los Angeles' offense in 2022, but separate hamstring injuries held the 6-8 target to six games. In the limited time the 25-year-old was available, Parham was a weapon on deeper passes, especially off play action. Gerald Everett is still around as the team's starting tight end, but if healthy Parham should handle the No. 2 role and potentially provide red-zone utility, with Tre' McKitty also in the mix at the position.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Uncertain role with new staff
Parham could have trouble carving out a meaningful role under new Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Parham is regarded as a below-average blocker, which could cost him playing time relative to offseason additions Will Dissly and Hayden Hurst. Additionally, undrafted rookie Zach Heins could earn playing time with his blocking skills if he makes the team. Parham also sat out team drills in spring practices -- presumably due to an injury -- so he hasn't gotten a chance to impress the new coaching staff on the field.
