Target Michael Carter Now

Parkinson Is A Red-Zone Target Monster
- Colby Parkinson has emerged as a red-zone focal point with big touchdown upside after Week 10.
- He led the Rams in red-zone route work and is primed to inherit more targets with Devontae Adams sidelined.
Grab McCarthy For Upside; Shough/Cousins Secondary
- If you need a QB this week, target JJ McCarthy for upside and start him in playoffs when available.
- If McCarthy isn't available, prioritize Tyler Shough or Kirk Cousins depending on your tolerance for run-heavy scripts.
