2019 was finally the year for Parker to live up to the draft hype. The 6'3", 210-pound former first-round pick always had all the skills required to be a stud wide receiver in the NFL, he just lacked motivation and the work ethic to produce elite numbers. Although he reportedly turned things around last season from a work ethic perspective, the Dolphins were downright dreadful in 2018 and injuries limited him to just 11 games.
Two other key components led to the big season for Parker in 2019. The Dolphins went with the gun-slinging Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback, a player who loves to target big wide receivers like Parker downfield, and someone who does not mind throwing into tight coverage. Another component was the fact that the Dolphins were terrible on defense, the Dolphins had no run game, and the team constantly chased points.
This season, those factors may not be in place. Eventually, Tua will take over at QB, the running game looks to be more viable with Jordan Howard and Matt Breida, and the defense seems to be improved.
Parker will likely lead the team in targets once again, and he will be a red zone threat, but he may not get the same level of volume that helped fuel his breakout season.
