2025 Fantasy Outlook
Durham recorded just five receptions in 13 regular-season games as a fifth-round rookie in 2023, but Cade Otton's late-season knee injury in 2024 afforded opportunities for the Purdue product. Durham was able to string together three consecutive multi-catch outings to close out the regular season, leaving him with a final tally of 11-115-2 over 16 contests. Durham once again projects as the likely No. 2 option behind Otton entering 2025. Read Past Outlooks

Durham went without a target while taking the field for nine of the Buccaneers' 67 offensive plays in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Durham has suited up for all 16 of the Buccaneers' games to date but continues to remain an afterthought in the passing game as Tampa Bay's No. 2 tight end behind Cade Otton. He's drawn just three targets on 43 routes across his 333 offensive snaps on the season, totaling one catch for 11 yards.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Durham logged a modest 125 snaps from scrimmage as a rookie in 2023 and generated a modest 5-58 line on just seven targets. However, new coordinator Liam Coen's offensive system, a derivative of Sean McVay's successful Rams scheme, is expected to utilize a heavy dose of two-tight-end sets that could capitalize on the pass-catching acumen Durham demonstrated during his college days at Purdue.
Durham is a talented pass-catching asset at the tight end position that could form quite the dual threat in tandem with Cade Otton over time. A 2023 fifth-round pick, Durham isn't without size for blocking at 6-6, 253 pounds, either, and his 101 receptions over his last two seasons at Purdue combined with an effective red-zone presence (21 touchdowns in 36 games) could help him carve out a complementary role behind Otton as a rookie.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely team's top TE for Week 15
TETampa Bay Buccaneers
December 11, 2025
Durham will likely play an expanded role in Week 15 against the Falcons, as Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports that Cade Otton is listed as doubtful due to a knee injury.
ANALYSIS
Otton usually plays the vast majority of snaps among Tampa Bay's tight ends. His likely absence opens the door for Durham to move up to the top of the depth chart. Durham may not contribute much as a pass catcher against Atlanta, though, as the Falcons have allowed a league-low one touchdown to tight ends and are one of five teams with fewer than 500 yards allowed to the position.
