Who Should I Start? Lucas Krull or Payne Durham

Saturday, October 26, 2:32 PM

Denver Broncos tight end Lucas Krull will face the Carolina Panthers in Week 8 this Sunday. The third-year tight end was the team's second-leading receiver in Week 7's 33-10 domination of a depleted Saints squad. Despite being listed as the second-string option behind teammate Adam Trautman on Denver's depth chart, Krull has out-targeted, out-received, and out-gained Trautman over the last three weeks. Still, even in a juicy matchup against a porous Panthers defense, the 26-year-old will not be a viable fantasy option. The former undrafted free agent is RotoBaller's PPR TE31 ahead of the Week 8 outing.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Payne Durham caught five of his seven targets for 29 yards during Sunday's Week 16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The 24-year-old has primarily operated in a depth role for most of this season, but he was given increased opportunities to produce this week with Cade Otton (knee) sidelined. A product of Purdue, Durham more than doubled his season-long production on Sunday night alone, but he'll likely return to a depth role off the fantasy radar if Otton returns in Week 17 against the Carolina Panthers.
