Trautman caught both of his targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Colts. Trautman's touchdown against the Colts was his second score of the season and Sunday's contest was his first multi-catch game since Week 8. It's been a quiet 2024 campaign for the veteran tight end, and his involvement in the Denver's passing attack has been minimal throughout the season. Trautman played 27 of the Broncos' 63 offensive snaps in Week 15, and his 43 percent snap share was his lowest mark in the past eight games. The 27-year-old continues to split time with Nate Adkins and Lucas Krull, limiting the potential of all three tight ends. Trautman should continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes when the Broncos visit the Chargers in Week 16.

Trautman caught both of his targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Colts. Trautman's touchdown against the Colts was his second score of the season and Sunday's contest was his first multi-catch game since Week 8. It's been a quiet 2024 campaign for the veteran tight end, and his involvement in the Denver's passing attack has been minimal throughout the season. Trautman played 27 of the Broncos' 63 offensive snaps in Week 15, and his 43 percent snap share was his lowest mark in the past eight games. The 27-year-old continues to split time with Nate Adkins and Lucas Krull, limiting the potential of all three tight ends. Trautman should continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes when the Broncos visit the Chargers in Week 16.
Trautman secured his lone target for 34 yards in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Chiefs. Trautman was targeted just once for the second-straight week despite continuing to operate as Denver's No. 1 tight end. The veteran played 34 of the Broncos' 58 offensive snaps, while Nate Adkins and Lucas Krull were on the field for 21 and 12 snaps, respectively. As has been the case for the majority of the season, Trautman is not seeing enough consistent volume to be a viable fantasy option most weeks. The 27-year-old should continue to struggle to produce fantasy relevant numbers when the Broncos host the Falcons in Week 11.
Trautman caught his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Ravens. Trautman came crashing back down to Earth after an impressive Week 8 performance, as the veteran tight end was targeted just once by rookie quarterback Bo Nix against Baltimore in Week 9. The 27-year-old was an afterthought in the contest despite operating as the team's No. 1 tight end. Trautman played 44 of the Broncos' 72 offensive snaps, ahead of both Nate Adkins (27) and Lucas Krull (21). The 6-foot-5, 253-pounder remains difficult to trust for consistent fantasy production heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Chiefs.
Trautman caught all four of his targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-14 win over the Panthers. With Greg Dulcich in Sean Payton's doghouse and Lucas Krull picking up a shoulder injury during Sunday's contest, Trautman wound up being significantly more than just a blocker for the first time all season. The fifth-year tight end made a spectacular one-handed grab for a 19-yard TD in the second quarter, his first score of the year, but he also had a 37-yard gain on the final play of the first quarter that helped set up Denver's first touchdown of the day. Krull was able to return to the game and caught both his targets for 18 yards, but Trautman's breakout performance could put him in line for a larger role as a receiver in Week 9 against the Ravens.
Trautman failed to record a single target in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chargers. Trautman was held without a target for third time this season, and the veteran tight end has failed to record more than a single target in the three other contests. The 27-year-old played just 17 of the Broncos' 55 offensive snaps in Week 6, his lowest mark of the season. Meanwhile, fellow tight end Lucas Krull played the most snaps (33) at tight end and was targeted four times. Trautman's limited usage in the passing game should keep him far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Saints.
Trautman caught his lone target for 19 yards in Sunday's 34-18 win over the Raiders. With fellow tight end Greg Dulcich inactive Sunday, Trautman handled the majority of tight end snaps in the contest. The veteran's one grab was just his second reception of the season, as he continues to play a minimal role as a pass catcher in Denver's offense. Trautman's limited usage in the passing game makes him someone to ignore for fantasy purposes. The Broncos will host the Chargers in Week 6.
Trautman secured his lone target for 13 yards in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Buccaneers. Trautman led all Denver tight ends in playing time, as he was on the field for 68 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps. The veteran's catch was his first of the season, as he has not been a big part of the Broncos' underwhelming aerial attack through three weeks. Trautman's usage ahead of the more versatile Greg Dulcich is a bit puzzling, especially on a day in which rookie quarterback Bo Nix attempted 36 passes. Even with his increased playing time in Week 3, the 27-year-old Trautman should remain far off the fantasy radar when the Broncos visit the Jets in Week 4.
Trautman (shoulder) was a full participant during practice Thursday. Trautman was limited Wednesday, putting his status for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers in question. However, his return Thursday will put any concerns to rest, and he should be good to go for Week 3.
Trautman (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports. Trautman has two more practices to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. The 2020 third-round pick played 26 snaps (23 on offense, three on special teams) and did not register a target in the Broncos' Week 2 loss to the Steelers.
