Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins restructured the contracts of tight end Durham Smythe, fullback Alec Ingold and defensive tackle Zach Sieler on Monday. Coupled with the conversion on cornerback Jalen Ramsey, the Dolphins were able to clear $28.78 million to get under the 2024 salary cap. The 28-year-old Smythe is a blocking first tight end who also served as the team's primary pass-catching tight end in 2023, finishing the year with 35 receptions on 43 targets for 366 yards and no touchdowns. Tight ends haven't been a big part of head coach Mike McDaniels' offense, and there's no reason to expect that to change entering the 2024 season. Smythe should be avoided in most fantasy drafts this fall after the Dolphins added Jonnu Smith to the TE room this offseason.

Durham Smythe Invisible Again in Wild-Card Loss
Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe remained far off of the fantasy radar in a disappointing wild-card loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday. He ended the game with three catches on four targets for 12 yards and his longest play was just a five-yard catch. The 28-year-old only registered three games with more than three receptions and ended the year with only 366 yards on 35 receptions and no touchdowns. He only managed to get four more yards than Mike Gesicki in his last season with the Dolphins, but he at least managed five touchdowns. Smythe doesn't seem to be worth a draft pick in fantasy leagues next year unless it's a very deep league that uses almost all of the starters in the league.

Durham Smythe Not Fantasy Relevant In Wild-Card Round
Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe has been a non-factor in fantasy football this season and that doesn't seem likely to change now that the stakes are even higher in the NFL playoffs. Smythe posted one double-digit fantasy outing all year in PPR formats and put together just two games of 50 or more yards. He also only collected two games with more than three receptions and four games with more than three targets. The Kansas City Chiefs have more than capable defenders against opposing tight ends and they've given up the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing pass-catchers. All of that means Smythe should be avoided in DFS lineups unless anyone is trying to make a dart-throw decision.

Durham Smythe Has Three Catches In Week 17
Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe caught all three targets for 54 yards in Sunday's hideous loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The 28-year-old had a season-high five catches in the narrow win over the Cowboys on Christmas Eve. But with Jaylen Waddle (ankle) sidelined, Smythe had potential to see more attention from Tua Tagovailoa. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case, as Tyreek Hill absorbed most of the surplus targets, finishing with 12 on the day. Nonetheless, Smythe isn't the worst fantasy option at the position. However, he hasn't scored a touchdown all year, meaning he's not an ideal fantasy choice in Week 18 versus the Bills, even if Waddle isn't back in the mix.

Durham Smythe Not A Starting Option In Week 17
Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe hasn't been on the fantasy radar at all this season and Week 17 is no different. In Week 16, he registered his best game of the season which went for just over 10 fantasy points in PPR formats. He hauled in all five targets for 56 yards which were season highs in both receptions and yards. Despite Jaylen Waddle (ankle) missing this game, Smythe doesn't seem to be the one to receive the bulk of targets that would otherwise go to Waddle. He's the TE36 on the season and averages just 4.1 fantasy points per game. Fantasy managers will want to look elsewhere, especially in a fantasy championship game.

Durham Smythe Has Five Grabs On Sunday
Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe caught all five targets for 56 yards in Sunday's narrow win over the Dallas Cowboys. Jaylen Waddle (ankle) exited during the contest, meaning additional targets were up for grabs. As a result, the 28-year-old had one of his most productive performances of the 2023-24 campaign. With Waddle in danger of missing time, Smythe could see extra attention from Tua Tagovailoa moving ahead, including in Week 17 versus Baltimore. However, he's nowhere near a trustworthy fantasy option.

Durham Smythe Remains Off The Fantasy Radar In Week 16
Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe tied a season-high in receptions against the New York Jets in Week 15 when he hauled in four of them for 32 yards. That was also just the third time this year that he put up seven or more fantasy points. Even if Tyreek Hill (ankle) doesn't suit up in this matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, that won't turn into much production for Smythe. Especially with the Cowboys coming in as the seven-toughest defense against opposing tight ends. Smythe is better left on the bench and shouldn't be relied on in the fantasy playoffs.

Durham Smythe Stays Limited Thursday
Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe (ankle) maintained his limited practice participation for the second straight day on Thursday. It's unlikely that Smythe's ankle injury is going to keep him from being active in a big Sunday matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 16. The 28-year-old tight end hasn't been on the fantasy map all year, although he did have one of his better games of the year in last week's blowout win over the New York Jets, catching all four of his targets for 32 yards. It came with All-Pro wideout Tyreek Hill (ankle) sitting out. Even if Hill misses a second straight game, Smythe isn't worth looking at as a TE2 streamer in deeper leagues. He has only 24 receptions all year for 226 yards and no trips to the end zone.

Durham Smythe Tagged As Limited Wednesday
Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe (ankle) continues to manage an ankle injury and put in a limited practice session on Wednesday. Smythe should play in Sunday's big matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 16 unless he suffers a setback in practice later this week. The 28-year-old has been off the fantasy radar all year despite being in one of the highest-scoring offenses in the NFL. However, he did catch all four of his targets for 32 yards in the Week 15 blowout win over the New York Jets, which represented one of his better showings this year. Even if Tyreek Hill (ankle) misses a second straight game, Smythe just isn't worth your time as a TE2 streamer given the fact he has only 24 catches all year for 226 yards and no touchdowns in 13 games.

Durham Smythe Still Not Worth A Start In Week 15
Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe hasn't been fantasy-relevant all season and even if Tyreek Hill (ankle) doesn't play in Week 15, that will not change much. Smythe has 20 receptions for 194 yards on the year and has posted four separate weeks with no catches and no fantasy points. The New York Jets are right around the middle of the pack against opposing tight ends, but at this point, Smythe is an afterthought in this offense. He's better left on the waiver wire or fantasy benches this week, especially for those who are battling in the fantasy playoffs.
