O'Reilly scored two goals and added an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Bruins. The veteran center found the back of the net in the first and third periods, and he set up Steven Stamkos for a tally in the second. O'Reilly snapped a 12-game goal drought in the process, and the performance couldn't have hurt his potential value to a contender with the trade deadline looming. On the season, O'Reilly has produced 16 goals and 39 points in 58 appearances.

Parkinson secured both of his targets for nine yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 28-22 NFC divisional-round loss to the Eagles. Outside of his four-yard touchdown grab in the fourth quarter, it was another forgettable performance for the veteran tight end. The four snaps that Parkinson played in the divisional round was the least of any of the Rams' tight ends, and the first year of his three year, $22.5 million dollar contract with the Rams has turned out to be mostly a bust. Signed to be the starter while Tyler Higbee recovered from a torn ACL and MCL, Parkinson didn't hold the starting job long, slipping into a three-way timeshare with Davis Allen and Hunter Long before Higbee's return made it a four-way split in snaps. Parkinson finished the season with a modest 30-294-1 receiving line and will almost certainly fall behind Higbee on the depth chart to begin the 2025 campaign.
Parkinson secured both of his targets for 13 yards during Monday's 27-9 wild-card win over the Vikings. Tyler Higbee (chest) looked primed to have a career day early, with five catches for 58 yards in just 12 snaps before exiting the contest with a chest injury. The trio of Rams' tight ends behind Higbee in the pecking order each recorded 13 receiving yards, with Davis Allen catching a touchdown in the second quarter. Parkinson's 33 snaps on offense were more than Allen (19) and Hunter Long (22), but with Higbee not expected to miss any additional time with his injury, Parkinson will likely revert back to his rotational role as a backup against the Eagles in the divisional round.
Parkinson failed to secure his lone target during Saturday's 13-9 victory against the Cardinals. Despite playing the most snaps out of the quartet of Rams' tight ends, Parkinson went a second straight game without a catch. Tyler Higbee was the only tight end to record any stats, and even he just managed two catches for nine yards. With the playing time between Parkinson, Higbee, Hunter Long and Davis Allen relatively even -- and the sheer lack of fantasy production outside of Kyren Williams and Puka Nacua on the Rams' offense -- it'll continue to be hard to trust any of the team's tight ends in fantasy rosters heading into the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Seahawks.
Parkinson failed to secure his lone target during Sunday's 19-9 victory against the Jets. With the return of Tyler Higbee (knee) to the lineup, the quartet of tight ends on the Rams' roster shared the field for nearly equal amounts, with the group combining for just three targets and a single catch by Higbee for 11 yards and a touchdown. With the Rams running their offense through Kyren Williams and Puka Nacua for the most part, no tight end on the Rams will be easy to trust in fantasy lineups as the Rams take on division rival Arizona in Week 17.
Parkinson secured two of five targets for 21 yards during Thursday's 12-6 victory against the 49ers. The veteran tight end helped to ice the game in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter, converting a big third down with a 14-yard catch just after the two-minute warning. Parkinson was second on the team behind Puka Nacua in targets, and his 32 snaps on offense outpaced fellow tight ends Hunter Long (22) and Davis Allen (15). His 21 yards receiving was his highest total since Week 7 against the Raiders, however, and this lack of production, along with the impending return of Tyler Higbee (knee), makes it hard to trust Parkinson for fantasy purposes. A Week 16 matchup against a stalwart Jets defense further dampens any hope for a breakout performance.
Parkinson secured one of two targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Eagles. As a group, the Rams' tight ends have put together back-to-back dismal performances, as Parkinson caught the group's only target last week and secured the only catch among them this week. Davis Allen, who led the group in snap count once again, failed to secure his only target and saw his share of the workload dip to just under half the plays on offense. With Hunter Long syphoning time as well, the trio of tight ends rotating in and out makes it difficult to trust any of them for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 13 contest against the Saints.
Parkinson played 11 of the Rams' 70 snaps on offense and went without a target in Monday's 23-15 loss to the Dolphins. After playing north of 60 percent of the Rams' snaps in the team's first seven games, Parkinson has now seen his snap share drop from 43 percent in Week 9 all the way down to 11 percent in Week 10. While Parkinson's playing time has declined, second-year player Davis Allen has settled in as the Rams' top tight end, playing 54 percent of snaps Week 9 and 81 percent of snaps Week 10 and producing a 6-39-0 receiving line on nine targets between those contests. According to Cameron DaSilva of USA Today, head coach Sean McVay clarified Wednesday that Parkinson is healthy, so the 25-year-old's downturn in snaps looks to be simply performance-related.
Parkinson failed to record a target while playing 32 snaps on offense during Sunday's 26-20 overtime victory against the Seahawks. Both Hunter Long and Davis Allen recorded a catch and were on the field for the majority of the second half, with Allen actually leading the tight end group in snaps played. Parkinson's role has been steadily decreasing since he took the field for 100 percent of snaps in Week 3, and the Rams seem content in mixing in their trio of tight ends while waiting for Tyler Higbee (knee) to make his return. The Dolphins defense, which gave up a monster game to Trey McBride (9-124-0) in Week 8, is next up for Parkinson in a Week 10 Monday night contest. Given recent usage, however, it will be hard to trust the veteran tight end in lineups.
