News: 3 days agoParker recorded three catches on five targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 10-7 loss to the Giants.

Spin: Parker returned from a two-game absence and finished second on the team with 42 receiving yards. He also accounted for the Patriots' two longest plays from scrimmage on catches of 19 and 17 yards. While it was a relatively positive performance, Parker has failed to top 50 receiving yards in all but one of his eight contests on the campaign.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Parker is back with the Patriots after joining the team last offseason. The veteran receiver failed to make much of an impact in 2022, converting 13 appearances into two top-30 fantasy outings (one of which came in Week 18). Believe it or not, the 2015 first-round pick has finished one of his eight NFL seasons better than 40th among WRs in fantasy points (11th in 2019). Parker is now 30 years old and a long shot for fantasy relevance with JuJu Smith-Schuster added to a WR room the also includes ascending second-year receiver Tyquan Thornton. Parker is well off the fantasy radar.
