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, as his touchdown was only his second of the season. Trautman is averaging just 1.5 catches and 11.4 receiving yards per game, but with teammate Greg Dulcich (hamstring) still on injured reserve, he should maintain his role as the Broncos' starter. In such a limited role, the 26-year-old is not a reliable fantasy option in a Week 13 matchup with the Texans.

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, as his touchdown was only his second of the season. Trautman is averaging just 1.5 catches and 11.4 receiving yards per game, but with teammate Greg Dulcich (hamstring) still on injured reserve, he should maintain his role as the Broncos' starter. In such a limited role, the 26-year-old is not a reliable fantasy option in a Week 13 matchup with the Texans.
Trautman put together another disappointing performance Sunday, although his 33 receiving yard total was his second-highest 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 likely won't make for a reliable fantasy option in a Week 12 matchup with the stingy Browns defense.
Trautman continued his streak of underwhelming performances Monday as he continued to operate as the Broncos' No. 1 tight end. Through nine games, the veteran has totaled just 13 catches for 84 yards and a touchdown. Trautman will likely continue to gain fantasy relevance when the Broncos host the Vikings in Week 11.
The veteran played the majority of tight end snaps Sunday, as he remains the Broncos' No. 1 option with Greg Dulcich (hamstring) back on injured reserve. Trautman caught just one pass on two targets for the second straight week, and his limited involvement in Denver's passing attack make him an unreliable option for fantasy purposes. The 26-year-old will look to get more involved when the Broncos host Kansas City in Week 8.
