We’ve got a heavyweight clash on Thursday Night Football between the Los Angeles Rams and the Seattle Seahawks. Tied atop the NFC West, the winner is in a great position to secure the division title and the top seed in the NFC. A big game means a big player prop market. Let’s dig into the market for Rams tight end Colby Parkinson.
Seattle enters as a narrow -130 moneyline favorite, while LA sits as a +110 underdog. The game’s total is set at 42.5 points. Below is my favorite Parkinson prop bet for Thursday’s game on DraftKings Sportsbook.

A former Seahawk, Parkinson has been seldom used throughout his six-year career. But this season has been something of a breakout, and he’s really ramped it up over the past few weeks.
The first six weeks of the season were typical Parkinson. Across those six games, he drew 10 targets for nine catches and 68 scoreless yards. Certainly not catching any eyes with those lines. But the last six games are an entirely different story in terms of usage. During that span, Parkinson has garnered 28 targets — turning them into 22 catches for 230 yards and a whopping six touchdowns. That includes his true breakout game last week against the Lions, where Parkinson caught five passes for 75 yards and two scores. He’s turning into a red zone monster.
Without Davante Adams, someone has to soak up the extra red zone targets for the Rams. Count on Parkinson to help fill the void, as he’s rapidly emerged as a fixture in LA’s passing attack. Seattle also allows a lot of targets to tight ends. The red zone volume is there, opening a lane for Parkinson to score his seventh touchdown in seven games.
