Payne Durham

With Cade Otton back from injury, this was not a surprise. Durham caught 11-of-14 targets for 115 yards and two touchdowns on the season with most of his production coming in two weeks at the end of the season when Cade Otton was out. The second-year pro figures to remain Tampa Bay's backup tight end in 2025 but that doesn't give him much fantasy value.

Tom Brady reacted to Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield passing TD to Payne Durham vs. the New Orleans Saints.

Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (knee) is inactive for today s game vs. the Saints. TEs Payne Durham and Devin Culp split playing time last week, so neither is a reliable Week 18 fantasy start.

Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (knee) is doubtful for Sunday s game vs. the Saints. TEs Payne Durham and Devin Culp split playing time last week, so neither is a bankable Week 18 fantasy start.

Bucs head coach Todd Bowles told reporters earlier today that Otton would be a game-time decision. While he wasn't ruled out entirely, players rarely suit up after being hit with the doubtful tag. It looks like Payne Durham will draw the start this week. Durham only caught two passes in Week 17 but did find the end zone, keeping him on the TE2 radar for Week 18.
