What do fantasy projections expect for DeVante Parker in 2021?
Miami Dolphins receiver DeVante Parker is in a bit of an odd spot. He played through a quarterback change in 2020 and didnt necessarily show as much chemistry with the new quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, as he did with the prior one. And the Dolphins followed up on that development by adding to premiere assets to the wide receiver room in Will Fuller (free agency) and Jaylen Waddle (the NFL draft). And so now Parker, who is entering his 7th season in Miami and suddenly finds himself in the top-10 all-time in receiving production for the Dolphins, must reassert himself as a high-volume option in the Dolphins passing game. That will be easier said than done with Fuller and TE Mike Gesicki both in contract years and hungry for production and the prior chemistry between Tagovailoa and Waddle. Here are a handful of projected stat lines for DeVante Parkers 2021 season courtesy of a number of the most popular fantasy services to help form expectations:  Yahoo! Fantasy  DeVante Parker  119 targets, 74.5 receptions, 972 receiving yards, 7.4 receiving touchdowns  ESPN  DeVante Parker  99 targets, 61 receptions, 743 receiving yards, 12.2 yards per reception, 4 receiving touchdowns  CBS Sports  DeVante Parker  110 targets, 64 receptions, 880 receiving yards, 13.8 yards per reception, 7 receiving touchdowns  Interestingly enough, the receiving (and scoring) projections for Parker are all over the map. All three services agree that Parker is going to be a prominent piece of the puzzle  99 targets is the perceived floor across all three services. But Yahoo! has Parker sniffing 1,000 yards for the second time in his career, whereas ESPN doesnt seem to think that the chunk play production will be there and hell once again finish between 700 and 800 yards. Thats been the sweet spot for Parker for his career to this point; hes finished with over 700 yards three times in his career but only once exceeded 800 (1,202 in 2019). So while wed like to think that Parker is due for a bounce back in 2021, the honest assessment of Parkers skillset and career production seems to indicate that ESPNs projection may be the most likely outcome for Parker  even with an extra game to play. After all, Parker has only played a full season once in six tries.
