2024 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Blanked again in Week 15 win
Durham did not draw a target across 30 snaps in the Buccaneers' 40-17 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Durham's snap count was his second highest of the season, but he went without a single pass from Baker Mayfield for the third straight game. The second-year tight end, who has just two catches all season, remains a complete nonfactor on offense despite serving as Cade Otton's direct backup.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Stock up after Senior Bowl
Durham impressed as a pass catcher at the Senior Bowl, according to Nick Baumgardner of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Durham's blocking is a work in progress, but the tight end out of Purdue has shown some promising receiving ability. He has a robust catch radius at 6-foot-5 and 258 pounds, and Durham made several contested catches at the Senior Bowl, leading Baumgardner to peg him as a 2023 NFL Draft sleeper.
