2024 Fantasy Outlook
Trautman followed head coach Sean Payton from New Orleans to Denver, and after starting 12 games with the Saints in 2022, the 6-foot-5 tight end made 12 starts for the Broncos in 2023. Most of Trautman’s value comes from his blocking ability, as his three touchdowns last season marked a career high and the highest yardage total of his four-year career is a modest 263 from 2021. Oft-injured 2022 third-round draft pick Greg Dulcich has a far higher ceiling than Trautman as a pass catcher, and unheralded third-stringer Lukas Krull flashed some promise down the stretch in 2023, but Trautman’s probably the favorite to lead all of Denver’s tight ends in snaps once again. His track record suggests that playing time won’t lead to meaningful production, though. Read Past Outlooks
Back in Denver
Trautman has agreed to re-sign with the Broncos on a two-year contract, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After spending his first three seasons in New Orleans, Trautman finished his first campaign in Denver with 204 yards and three touchdowns on 22 receptions. The 27-year-old projects to again provide depth at tight end in the upcoming season as the No. 2 option behind Greg Dulcich (foot).

Set for role reduction Thursday
Trautman, who's operated as the Broncos' de facto No. 1 tight end over the last four-plus games while Greg Dulcich was sidelined by a hamstring injury, is slated to move back into a secondary role with the latter's expected return for Thursday night's game against the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports Dulcich is slated to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Thursday night's game after practicing both Tuesday and Wednesday without any setbacks. Trautman, a third-round pick of the Saints in 2020 while current Broncos head coach Sean Payton was still serving in that role in New Orleans, was largely unable to capitalize on the opportunity created by Dulcich's absence, going without a catch in Weeks 2-4 before recording four receptions for 26 yards and a touchdown in a Week 5 loss to the Jets.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
The Broncos acquired Trautman in a draft-day trade with the Saints this offseason, reuniting the tight end with his former head coach Sean Payton. The 2020 third-rounder never really took off as the New Orleans top option at tight end, losing his starting job to Juwan Johnson in 2022. In his first season in Denver, Trautman will likely serve in a depth role behind starter Greg Dulcich, with Albert Okwuegbunam and Chris Manhertz also in the mix. The 26-year-old may not see steady targets in an offense flush with pass catchers, but a change of scenery could help Trautman take a step forward in a familiar system.
