Durham Smythe Fantasy

The Miami Dolphins signed tight end Durham Smythe to a two-year extension for $7.75 million on Monday, according to a source. The deal includes $5.5 million fully guaranteed. It's a raise to $4.5 million for Smythe in 2023, and the deal has a maximum value of $8.75 million. The 27-year-old was drafted by the Dolphins in the fourth round in 2018 out of Notre Dame, and he has 88 receptions on 115 targets for 809 yards and three touchdowns in 79 games (56 starts) in his five years with the team. Smythe has mostly been a blocking tight end for Miami, but he could be in for a much bigger pass-catching role with Mike Gesicki now in New England and Hunter Long in Los Angeles. The Dolphins are likely to address the position in this year's draft, though, so Smythe isn't guaranteed anything just yet.

Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe had one of his best games of the season on Sunday, hauling in three of five targets for 39 yards (all season-highs) against the New York Jets. Smythe plays behind Mike Gesicki, so even though he has a catch in each of the Dolphins' last four games and seems to have a steady role in the offense, he won't be on the DFS radar during next week's Wild Card round.

Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe turned his lone target into a four-yard touchdown reception during Sunday's win over the Houston Texans. The 27-year-old now has seven catches, 54 yards, and one touchdown in 2022. Clearly, he has filled a depth role behind Mike Gesicki and should be left on waivers in all fantasy football leagues.
