Who Should I Start? Durham Smythe or Tommy Tremble

Thursday, March 6, 2:33 PM

The Chicago Bears signed former Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe to a one-year deal on Thursday, according to NFL.com. The former fourth-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft out of Notre Dame has played his entire seven-year career with Miami but was released this offseason. Overall, the 28-year-old has hauled in 132 receptions for 1,228 yards and three touchdowns in 112 career games. Smythe is best utilized as a blocker, and with Chicago trading for former Los Angeles Rams offensive lineman Jonah Jackson and former Kansas City Chiefs offensive lineman Joe Thuney, it's evident they want to improve quickly in run and pass blocking. Smythe could help Chicago's offense in 2025 under new head coach Ben Johnson, but he's unlikely to be on the fantasy football radar.

In Week 12, Tommy Tremble failed to catch his only target and did not score a single fantasy point for the fourth time in the last five games. Tremble was mainly utilized as a blocker in this game and played on 48% of snaps. In Week 13, Carolina will face the Los Angeles Rams, who rank 19th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to the TE position. Although this is a favorable matchup for TEs, Tremble is not worthy of any fantasy consideration, even in TE-premium formats. Tremble has only been targeted at least twice in only three games this year.
