Adam Trautman Fantasy

Denver Broncos tight end Adam Trautman is completely off the fantasy radar. His role was expected to increase as far as pass-catching duties go once the team placed Greg Dulcich (hamstring) on Injured Reserve, but it just hasn't transpired. Even in a lopsided 70-20 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, Trautman was targeted only two times and failed to haul in either target for a donut in the fantasy column for the second straight week. The Broncos offense has looked better through three weeks with head coach Sean Payton at the helm. However, Trautman hasn't been a beneficiary at all, even with Dulcich sidelined. The entire Broncos offense has a great opportunity in a Week 4 game against the Chicago Bears, but Trautman should remain on the waiver wire everywhere.

Denver Broncos tight end Adam Trautman had an encouraging debut for Denver in Week 1 when he caught all five of his targets for 34 yards after Greg Dulcich left with a hamstring injury. Trautman was expected to have an elevated pass-catching role as the No. 1 TE with Dulcich missing several weeks due to his injury, but he failed to catch his only target in the Week 2 loss to the Washington Commanders despite playing 82% of the offensive snaps. Dulcich is now on Injured Reserve, meaning he'll miss at least three more games. Trautman will continue to serve as Denver's No. 1 tight end, but it isn't necessarily going to translate to fantasy production. After all, Trautman will be used more as a blocker than a pass-catcher.

Denver Broncos tight end Adam Trautman was expected to take on a bigger pass-catching role in the offense with Greg Dulcich (hamstring) set to miss multiple weeks with a hamstring injury he suffered in the season opener. Well that didn't happen in a Week 2 loss to the Washington Commanders. Trautman was only targeted one time in the passing game and failed to haul it in. In the Week 1 loss, he caught all five of his targets for 34 yards. The Broncos passing game succeeded deep down the field in this one, and quarterback Russell Wilson got rookie Marvin Mims Jr. and Brandon Johnson involved for touchdowns. Trautman should have more opportunities in the passing game until Dulcich returns, but this showing proves he's nothing more than a blind-folded dart throw in fantasy lineups.
