2026 Week 6 Fantasy Football: Rams TE Injury Report Reaction

Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen are both dealing with injuries, which could shake up the Rams' tight end room this week.

According to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports), the Rams did not hold a live practice Wednesday — two days after their overtime loss to the Bills — so their injury report was estimated. The key names for fantasy managers: tight end Colby Parkinson (shoulder) was limited and tight end Davis Allen (foot) did not practice at all.

The Parkinson-Allen connection is the most actionable fantasy angle here. Both Rams tight ends are banged up simultaneously, which means the situation is worth monitoring closely as practice reports come in Thursday and Friday before any start/sit decisions are locked in. Tyler Higbee would be in line for more potential targets

Davis Allen

Allen is the more concerning case — a non-participant on an estimated injury report is a genuine red flag. The source story doesn't specify the severity of his foot injury or whether he's at risk of missing Week 6, so don't assume he's fine. If he's ruled out or limited heading into the weekend, look for Tyler Higbee to absorb tight end snaps; the "What We Saw" roundup from the Bills game noted Higbee was the most involved tight end in that game.

Colby Parkinson

Parkinson's shoulder limitation is worth watching but less alarming than Allen's situation at this stage. That said, if both tight ends are compromised, the Rams' passing-game usage at the position gets murky fast. Hold Parkinson in deeper leagues but don't start him with confidence until Friday's practice report clears things up.
