Donald Parham is set for a bigger role in the Los Angeles Chargers' offense, according to the Orange County Register's Gilbert Manzano. (Orange County Register)

Fantasy Impact:

Manzano wrote: Parham’s role will likely expand this season because the 6-foot-8 tight end has done a lot of running with the ball in his hands through the first seven practices of training camp. He’s gone from just seeing jump balls in the end zone as a mismatch nightmare to a yards-after-catch playmaker for quarterback Justin Herbert. Manzano added: Parham said he didn’t like the way he finished his first season with the Chargers last year and focused this offseason on building lower body strength and improving his knee movements. That has led to Parham improving as a route runner and getting open in space. Parham also credited his improvements to the chemistry he built with Herbert in the offseason. Parham Jr. totaled 10 receptions on 20 targets for 159 yards and three touchdowns last season. Manzano noted that fellow TE Jared Cook is a favorite target of Herbert thus far in training camp as well.
