Payne Durham Could See Increased Role

Friday, August 29, 8:14 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Payne Durham could potentially see a larger role in the offense to begin the regular season. The Bucs are uncertain if starting tight end Cade Otton (leg) is going to be ready to play during the season opener. The team will likely wait and see how Otton progresses throughout next week before making a final decision. If he misses time, Payne Durham and Devin Culp figure to split up time as the starting tight end. Durham didn't see a ton of action last season, but played well when Otton missed time late in the season. When Otton was out, Durham hauled in nine receptions for 81 yards and two touchdowns as the starter. There's not a lot of value here, but maybe Durham is a dart throw if Otton is unable to go in Week 1.

Max Klare Plays Large Role in Rams Passing Attack in Preseason Opener

Saturday, August 15, 7:10 PM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Max Klare caught seven of his eight targets for 37 yards during Saturday's preseason contest against the Kansas City Chiefs. Klare, a second-round pick, made a huge impression during his NFL preseason debut. He fetched targets from both Stetson Bennett and Ty Simpson, and while he showed a decent rapport with both, he definitely clicked more with Simpson, the Rams' first-round pick out of Alabama. Klare and Simpson will be a duo to watch for several years to come, but it could take a little while for them to emerge as weekly fantasy threats. Simpson is waiting in the wings behind Matthew Stafford at quarterback, and Klare is a bit buried on the tight end depth chart behind Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee, and Terrance Ferguson. Nevertheless, there's long-term appeal here, as the Ohio State product ranks as the TE23 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.
