Payne Durham Capitalizes On Primary Role Sunday

Monday, December 23, 12:45 AM

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.

Nate Adkins Comes Out Of Nowhere For Touchdown In Week 11

Monday, November 18, 10:25 AM

Denver Broncos tight end Nate Adkins, the team's backup TE, came out of nowhere in Week 11 against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday to catch his second touchdown pass of the year. In the 38-6 blowout victory, Adkins caught his only target for a 12-yard touchdown score that put the Broncos on the scoreboard early in the first quarter. They would never look back, with rookie quarterback Bo Nix throwing for over 300 yards and a career-high four touchdowns. Adkins' first touchdown of the year came in the Week 8 win over the Carolina Panthers. The 25-year-old shouldn't be a waiver-wire consideration at all this upcoming week after his second score, as he now has only six receptions for 34 yards and two TDs on seven targets in 11 games in 2024. There's a good chance we won't hear from the second-year TE again.
