Week 3 at Washington
After dropping five passes through two weeks, Preston Parker was released from the team this week. It’s unlikely he’ll become fantasy relevant, even if he’s picked up elsewhere, and he should remain on waivers.
Week 17 – Preston Parker vs. Philadelphia
Preston Parker had three catches for 32 yards last week as he went back to his third receiver role behind Odell Beckham and Rueben Randle. Parker has put up decent numbers in the occasional outing this year, but overall he’s remained a streaky, modest producer in New York. Even with a nice matchup this week, fantasy owners should leave him on waivers.
Week 16 – Preston Parker vs. St. Louis
Preston Parker had one catch for 12 yards, but was actually tied for second on the team with four targets last week. He’s been jockeying for position as a starting WR in the offense with the struggling Rueben Randle, but he remains a risky fantasy option. This week, he’ll face a tough St. Louis pass defense and is unlikely to get more than the four targets he had last week. He should stay on waivers or be a bench guy in large fantasy leagues, as it seems like anyone not named Odell Beckham is having a hard time putting up numbers in New York.
Week 15 – Preston Parker vs. Washington
Preston Parker had five catches for 60 yards last week against the Titans. He was also targeted six times, which is twice as much as starter Rueben Randle. Expect the looks between those two players to flip-flop week-to-week, making it difficult to trust either one of them to put up consistent fantasy numbers. Despite a nice matchup, Parker is way too risky to trust during the fantasy playoffs and his only value is as a deep dynasty stash.
Week 14 – Preston Parker vs. Tennessee
Preston Parker had only six yards on two catches last week, but he did find the end zone. Parker will get some looks each week as the WR3 in New York, but his production isn’t likely to be consistent enough to warrant rostering him in fantasy leagues. Owners should look elsewhere.
Week 13 – Preston Parker vs. Jacksonville
Preston Parker had only one catch last week on three targets and wound up with 16 yards total against the Cowboys. Parker is the WR3 for the Giants and his role will likely remain as such barring injury. This limits his upside, and makes him a risky start in any week. Fantasy owners should look elsewhere.
Week 12 – Preston Parker vs. Dallas
Preston Parker caught only one pass last week against the 49ers, gaining nine yards. He was targeted twice and he’s still working his way into a permanent role in the Giants offense. As is often the case with the WR3 position on a team, Parker will put up nice numbers in the occasional outing, but is ultimately far too unreliable to count on for consistent fantasy production. Because of this, he’s a very risky option and should probably remain on waivers.
Week 11 – Preston Parker vs. San Francisco
Preston Parker has stepped up since Victor Cruz was injured and he’s been putting up decent, albeit inconsistent numbers the past few weeks. Against the Seahawks last week, he wound up with seven catches and 79 yards.
This week, Parker is a risky option against the 49ers and their pass defense that has allowed the fifth least amount of passing yards per game. He’s worth an add in deep leagues to the back of your roster, but there should be better options available to owners in most leagues.
Week 10 – Preston Parker vs. Seattle
Preston Parker had one catch for seven yards last week against the Colts. As the third receiver in New York, Parker will have the occasion productive fantasy week, but for the most part, he’s going to be a risky option and isn’t worth adding to a fantasy roster.
Week 9 – Preston Parker vs. Indianapolis
Preston Parker has taken on a legit WR3 role in New York since the injury to Victor Cruz, and he had 19 yards on two catches against Dallas before the bye last week. He’s still no higher than fourth on the list of pass catchers for the Giants however, which limits his fantasy value. He might have a nice game here and there, but owners shouldn’t be looking to add him to their rosters at this time.
