Adam Trautman's Fantasy Stock On The Rise After Season Opener

Adam Trautman's Fantasy Stock On The Rise After Season Opener

one year ago

Denver Broncos tight end Adam Trautman entered the 2023 regular season as the top TE on the depth chart, but it was still widely expected that Greg Dulcich (leg) would be Denver's top pass-catching target at the position. Dulcich injured his leg early in the Broncos' 17-16 Week 1 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday and never returned, allowing Trautman to operate in a bigger role. He responded by catching a team-high five passes for 34 yards on five targets. Depending on how serious Dulcich's injury is, the 26-year-old could be worth a waiver-wire addition in deeper fantasy leagues moving forward. He's a favorite of head coach Sean Payton from their time together in New Orleans, but just remember that Trautman has 60 career catches in three NFL seasons and remains a better blocker than pass-catcher. In season-long leagues, Dulcich is still the better fantasy bet if he's healthy.
