Parker had six catches for 79 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets in Sunday's 35-23 loss to the Bills.
What it means:
Parker's two-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter tied the score at 14 apiece. He added a 26-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to pull within five, but New England couldn't complete the comeback in the season-ending loss. Parker has one more season on his contract, while fellow wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is set to be an unrestricted free agent. Parker turns 30 less than a month into New England's offseason, and he had just one touchdown in his first season with the Patriots before this performance boosted his season totals to 31 catches for 539 yards and three touchdowns on 47 targets.
Parker (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bills after practicing fully Friday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
What it means:
Parker, who last suited up in Week 14, is thus slated to reclaim a key role in the Patriots' wideout corps in Week 18. Prior to missing time, Parker logged a 25-460-1 receiving line on 40 targets through 12 games, a rate of production that puts him on the fantasy radar in deeper formats as Sunday's game against 12-3 Buffalo approaches.
DeVante Parker (concussion) not listed on New England's Week 18 injury report
What it means:
New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker (concussion) is available for Week 18's game against the Buffalo Bills.
After participating in three limited sessions, Parker is expected to return after New England's wideout was inactive for three games with a concussion.
In a potential opportunity versus a Buffalo defense allowing 28.3 FanDuel points per game to wideouts, Parker's FanDuel salary stands at $5,500.
Parker (concussion) returned to a limited practice Wednesday.
What it means:
In his first practice since suffering a concussion in Week 14, Parker was limited, but the wideout's return to the field Wednesday, in any capacity, suggests that he has a chance to return to the lineup Sunday against the Bills. If so, Parker would be in line to reclaim a role in the Patriots' passing offense alongside fellow WRs Jakobi Meyers (shoulder), Tyquan Thornton, Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor.
New England's DeVante Parker (concussion) limited on Wednesday
What it means:
