Broncos' Adam Trautman: Catches Nix's first home pass
Trautman caught one of two targets for eight yards in Sunday's 27-2 preseason win over the Packers.
Trautman caught the first pass thrown by quarterback Bo Nix on the opening drive. Due to Trautman's blocking prowess, he is the favorite to lead Denver's tight ends in playing time during the 2024 regular season, though Greg Dulcich and Lucas Krull both have higher ceilings as pass catchers. Dulcich caught both of his targets for 27 yards in Sunday's win, while Krull finished with two catches for six yards on three targets.

Broncos' Adam Trautman: Competing for depth chart slotting
Trautman (abdomen) has been participating in training camp.
Trautman is past an abdominal issue that hampered him during the offseason, allowing him to compete for slotting on the Broncos' tight end depth chart ahead of Week 1. Greg Dulcich and Lucas Krull are also in the mix, and while Trautman is a strong blocker, his upside as a receiver is limited after he produced a 22-204-3 line in 17 regular-season contests with Denver in 2023.

Broncos' Adam Trautman: Dealing with abdomen injury
Trautman did not participate in Denver's mandatory minicamp Wednesday due to an abdomen injury, Jon Heath of USA Today reports.
Coach Sean Payton said Trautman's injury isn't too serious and won't need surgery, calling it "basically a sprain." The fifth-year pro thus appears on track for the start of training camp late July. Trautman projects to contribute as a rotational part of the Broncos' tight-end corps behind Greg Dulcich (foot/hamstring), though the latter is still working toward a return to the field.

Broncos' Adam Trautman: Back in Denver
Trautman has agreed to re-sign with the Broncos on a two-year contract, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
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).

Broncos' Adam Trautman: Concludes first season in Denver
Trautman finished the 2023 season with 22 receptions on 35 targets for 204 yards and three touchdowns.
Trautman operated as Denver's No. 1 tight end in 2023, likely benefitting from fellow tight end Greg Dulcich (foot) landing on injured reserve for most of the season. The veteran Trautman produced modest numbers throughout the season, though his three touchdowns were tied with wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey for the third-most scores among all Broncos pass catchers. The 26-year-old will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, and it remains to be seen if Denver will make him an offer to stay with the team.

Broncos' Adam Trautman: One catch in win
Trautman caught one of two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Chargers.
Trautman led all Denver tight ends with a 49 percent offensive snap share Sunday, yet he was unable to have much of an impact in the contest. The veteran has recorded just 21 catches for 183 yards and three touchdowns this season, despite his status as the Broncos' No. 1 tight end.

Broncos' Adam Trautman: One target in Week 16
Trautman failed to reel in his lone target in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Patriots.
Trautman was held catchless in a contest for the fifth time this season, despite his standing as the Broncos' No. 1 tight end. The veteran continues to play a minimal role in Denver's passing attack and less involvement than backup Lucas Krull, who totaled four catches on five targets for 28 yards and a touchdown.

Broncos' Adam Trautman: One catch in loss
Trautman caught one of three targets for 24 yards in Saturday's 42-17 loss to the Lions.
Trautman's modest performance Saturday came on a day when the entire Denver offense struggled to get much going. The veteran played just 47 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps, his lowest snap share of the season. Meanwhile, fellow tight end Lucas Krull, who was signed to Denver's 53-man roster Saturday, played just one fewer offensive snap (29). The 26-year-old Trautman has not been a major part of the Broncos' offensive plans this season, and splitting playing time would just diminish his fantasy utility even further. In addition, it's possible Greg Dulcich (hamstring) could be nearing a return, further complicating the playing-time situation. Trautman and the Broncos will host the Patriots in Week 16.

Broncos' Adam Trautman: Hits pay dirt against Chargers
Trautman secured two of three targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-7 win over the Chargers.
The veteran tight end played 69 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps in the contest, yet he continued to be just minimally involved in Denver's scheme as a receiver. Trautman's touchdown came on a 10-yard pass late in the fourth quarter, putting the game out of reach. The score was Trautman's third of the 2023 campaign, marking a career high in touchdowns for a season. With that said, the 26-year-old remains untrustworthy for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Lions.

Broncos' Adam Trautman: Another underwhelming performance
Trautman secured one of his two targets for six yards in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Texans.
Trautman recorded just one catch for the second straight week, playing a minimal role in the Broncos' offense again. Despite operating as Denver's No. 1 tight end, the veteran isn't a significant part of the Broncos' offensive game plan each week. Trautman should remain out of fantasy lineups heading into a Week 14 matchup with the Chargers.

Broncos' Adam Trautman: Finds end zone against Browns
Trautman caught his lone target for an eight-yard touchdown in Sunday's 29-12 win over the Browns.
Trautman was a non-factor for much of the contest until he found the end zone in the fourth quarter with an impressive catch, a play that was initially ruled an incomplete pass before coach Sean Payton challenged the ruling. The veteran tight end has had a quiet 2023 campaign as the Denver's No. 1 tight end in place of Greg Dulcich (hamstring), as the touchdown was only his second of the season. Trautman is averaging just 1.5 catches and 11.4 receiving yards per game, but with Dulcich still lacking a timeline for his return from injured reserve, Trautman should maintain his role as the Broncos' starter.

Broncos' Adam Trautman: Targeted twice against Vikings
Trautman secured both of his targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 21-20 win over the Vikings.
Trautman put together another unimpressive performance Sunday, although 33 receiving yards represented his second-highest total of the season. Despite playing in all 10 of the Broncos' games, the veteran tight end has amassed just 15 catches for 117 yards and a touchdown this season. Trautman is not a major part of Denver's offensive game plan and won't make for a trustworthy fantasy option in Week 12 against the stingy Browns defense.
