Payne Durham Dynasty Value

Purdue's most prolific scoring tight end in recent memory, and the touchdown numbers are what separate him from the rest of the Day 3 tight ends. Durham put up 126 receptions for 1275 yards and 21 touchdowns across 36 games, starting with 9 catches and 4 scores in 7 games as a true freshman and building from there. The 2021 season brought 45 catches for 467 yards and 6 touchdowns in 10 games, and he followed that with 56 receptions for 560 yards and 8 touchdowns in 13 games as a senior. Career averages of 3.5 catches and 35.4 yards per game. 255 pounds, 4.87 forty, 34.5-inch vertical. The 10.1 yards per reception tells you he operated almost exclusively in the short and intermediate areas, and the 4.87 speed is why. There is no downfield element to this game. But 21 touchdowns on 126 catches is a 16.7% scoring rate, and that kind of red zone production tends to follow a player to the next level. R5.171 for a scoring-dependent tight end whose touchdown rate is elite but whose athletic limitations will define his NFL ceiling.
