Donald Parham Jr.

Chargers coach Brandon Staley confirmed Donald Parham Jr. suffered a hamstring injury during practice Friday and that he "should be out, for sure, this week."

Fantasy Impact

Parham had reportedly been one of the biggest standouts in Chargers camp early on and hamstring injuries are never ideal. This should lead to a bigger opportunity for Gerald Everett to see more key reps with the Chargers offense while Parham is sidelined.

Chargers TE Donald Parham Jr. is dealing with a leg injury that is limiting his participation at practice.

Fantasy Impact

Parham has been having a very impressive off-season so far, and the team hopes that won't be hindered by the leg injury he is dealing with. It doesn't seem to be too serious, but he could end up missing some valuable practice time or preseason games in his recovery. The TE1 battle between Parham and Gerald Everett is something that fantasy managers should continue to keep tabs on.

Chargers TE Donald Parham Jr. has been having a 'great camp' so far this off-season and has impressed the coaching staff.

Fantasy Impact

Parham has been a breakout candidate for many since entering the league, and this year finally seems like it may be the year. He has impressed at camp, and the TE1 spot in Los Angeles is wide open with the departure of Jared Cook. For fantasy purposes, Parham should be a priority TE target in the late rounds of drafts.

Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Fantasy Impact

Parham didn't practice at all this week after suffering a scary head injury against the Chiefs last Thursday. On a more positive note, the second-year tight end was released from the hospital earlier this week. Presumably, he'll return to the field as soon as he clears concussion protocol. As such, there's a chance he suits up in Week 17. In the meantime, Stephen Anderson will operate behind starting tight end Jared Cook.

Tight End Donald Parham Jr. stayed overnight at UCLA Harbor Medical Center for observation after being diagnosed with a concussion. He is resting comfortably, alert and will likely be discharged from the hospital later today.

Fantasy Impact

This is great news for Donald Parham. Fantasy doesn't matter in situations like this. Hopefully, there are no lasting effects for Parham after this scary scene last evening and he is able to return to the team in the weeks ahead.
