Payne Durham Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth TE for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished TE115 last season at 0.1 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's TE102 at 0.0 PPR points per game, against 0.1 over 17 games last season (TE115). The role is producing the same fantasy output two years running.
Last season he ranked 71st of 81 in route participation (17.0%), 81st of 82 in target share (0.7%) and 80th of 82 in efficiency (0.11 yards per route run). Target share is the soft spot. Baker Mayfield is his quarterback.
He's TE2 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
The next favorable matchup is the Cowboys in Week 5 (8th against TEs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Durham has never carved out a receiving role, and 2025 was his quietest yet: one catch on four targets for 11 yards across eight games, just 1.1 fantasy points and a TE109 rank on a 31.8 percent snap share. Even his modest 2024 ceiling, 11 grabs for 115 yards and two scores worth 23.5 points at TE61, came on only a 2.5 percent target share. The arrow points down, with route share sliding from 28 to 17 percent and a 0.7 percent target share that signals pure blocking duty.
The 2023 fifth-round Purdue pick is a competent in-line blocker, but Tampa Bay's passing game flows elsewhere and his minus-0.299 EPA per play on a tiny sample offers nothing for fantasy. With no volume and no red-zone equity beyond the occasional look, there is zero startable value here. He is a waiver-wire afterthought in every 2026 format, including deep dynasty.
