Denver Broncos tight end Adam Trautman (core) was held out of mandatory minicamp practices this week as a precaution due to a core-muscle injury. "Just being smart with his reps," head coach Sean Payton said. "He had core-muscle symptoms, which is basically a sprain. He didn't need surgery, so that's the good news. Nothing significant though." It sounds like it's an injury that won't keep Trautman sidelined for the start of training camp at the end of July. The 27-year-old re-signed with Denver in the offseason after catching 22 passes for 204 yards and a career-high three touchdowns in 17 games in his first year in Denver in 2023. Third-year tight end Greg Dulcich (foot) has had trouble staying on the field in his first two years in the NFL, but if he's healthy, he'll be the better bet for fantasy production in 2024 than Trautman.

Denver Broncos tight end Adam Trautman is sticking around with the organization for a little longer. The 27-year-old agreed to a two-year deal with the organization on Tuesday. Trautman is back after seeing plenty of playing time during his first season in Denver. He finished with 22 receptions, 204 yards, and three touchdowns in 17 games (12 starts) with the Broncos in 2023. Fellow tight end Greg Dulcich missed most of the season due to injury which led to increased playing time for Trautman. The expectation is that Trautman will take a backseat to Dulcich next season. This is a solid move to add depth for Denver, but Trautman probably won't be on the fantasy radar.

Denver Broncos tight end Adam Trautman should be avoided in all fantasy formats for one last week in the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Trautman heads into the final week of the season tied for 38th at the position with Tommy Tremble of the Carolina Panthers with 46.8 half-PPR fantasy points on the year. The 26-year-old has caught 21 of his 34 targets in 16 games played for only 183 yards and three touchdowns with Greg Dulcich (foot, hamstring) missing all but two games in his second season. Since last finding paydirt in the Week 14 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, Trautman has hauled in only two passes on six targets for 33 yards and no touchdowns. Stay away from him against Vegas.

We've been saying it all year and hope you've listened. Denver Broncos tight end Adam Trautman needs to continue to be ignored heading into a Week 17 matchup against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers. It's still the case despite the fact that the Broncos have a great matchup this weekend and with the team's receiving leader, Courtland Sutton (concussion), ruled out. In the first meeting with the Chargers in Week 14, Trautman caught his third touchdown of the year, but it came on just two receptions for 19 yards. In two games since, he's caught one of four targets for only 24 yards. The 26-year-old has not been on the fantasy radar all year and will get a downgrade in quarterback from Russell Wilson to Jarrett Stidham for the final two weeks.
