Broncos' Adam Trautman: Two grabs in loss
Adam Trautman caught two of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Jaguars.Trautman played 58 percent of snaps Sunday, continuing to handle the highest offensive snap share among Denver Broncos' tight ends. The veteran was unable to turn his opportunities into much significant production, as he continues to take a backseat to teammate Evan Engram as a pass catcher. Trautman's blocking acumen keep him on the field, but he remains far off the fantasy radar going forward. Next up for the Broncos is a Week 17 matchup against the Chiefs.

Broncos' Adam Trautman: No targets in Week 16
Adam Trautman went without a target while playing 42 of the Denver Broncos' 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers.Trautman's 62 percent snap share led the way among Broncos tight ends, but Evan Engram was the only member of the position group to draw a target from quarterback Bo Nix on the day. Trautman has produced a 16-157-1 receiving line on 18 targets through 14 games this season but offers most of his impact as a blocker rather than a pass catcher.

Broncos' Adam Trautman: Minimal production against Raiders
Adam Trautman caught his lone target for two yards in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Raiders.Trautman once again led all Denver tight ends in offensive snap share, playing 42 of 61 snaps Thursday. Meanwhile, fellow tight ends Evan Engram and Marcedes Lewis played 27 and 20 snaps, respectively. With that said, Trautman offered little production based on his usage as a blocking specialist. It was Engram, however, who saw five targets in the contest, the second most among all Denver Broncos pass catchers. The 28-year-old Trautman should remain far off the fantasy radar when the Broncos host the Chiefs in Week 11.

Broncos' Adam Trautman: Targeted twice in win
Adam Trautman caught both of his targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Texans.Trautman played 46 of the Denver Broncos' 63 offensive snaps Sunday, ahead of fellow tight ends Evan Engram (32) and Marcedes Lewis (6). The veteran's two grabs were his first receptions since Week 5, as he continues to contribute as more of a blocking specialist in Denver's offense. Despite Engram operating as the preferred pass-catching tight end, it was Trautman who was able to record two receptions while Engram was held without a catch in the contest. Based on his limited usage in the passing game, the 28-year-old Trautman remains extremely difficult to trust for meaningful fantasy production. Next up for the Broncos is a Week 10 matchup against the Raiders.

Broncos' Adam Trautman: No targets in third straight game
Adam Trautman wasn't targeted while playing 40 of the Denver Broncos' 63 snaps on offense Sunday in a 44-24 win over the Cowboys.With fellow tight end Nate Adkins (knee) making an early exit from the Week 8 contest, Trautman ended up matching his highest snap share of the season (63 percent). Despite the increased playing time, however, Trautman went without a target for the third game in a row, as Denver continued to utilize Evan Engram as its top pass-catching tight end. Even if he continues to play more than half of Denver's snaps if Adkins is sidelined for a Week 9 matchup with the Texans, Trautman will continue to be deployed primarily as a blocker.

Broncos' Adam Trautman: Not targeted in win
Adam Trautman failed to record a single target in Sunday's 13-11 win over the Jets.Trautman was a complete nonfactor against the Jets, as the veteran was not involved in the Denver Broncos' offensive attack Sunday. The 28-year-old played 23 of Denver's 60 offensive snaps, behind fellow tight end Evan Engram (28) and tied with teammate Nate Adkins. Due to his usage as a blocker, Trautman offers very little in the way of fantasy production most weeks. The sixth-year tight end should be ignored for fantasy purposes when the Broncos host the Giants in Week 7.

Broncos' Adam Trautman: One grab in Week 5
Adam Trautman reeled in his lone target for 11 yards in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Eagles.Trautman had another quiet day Sunday despite playing the most snaps of all Denver tight ends against the Eagles. The veteran played 31 of the Denver Broncos' 74 offensive snaps, slightly ahead of both Evan Engram (30) and Nate Adkins (27). It was Engram, however, that took a step forward in the offense, securing four of six targets for 33 yards and a touchdown. Mainly a blocking specialist, Trautman offers little in the way of fantasy-relevant production on a weekly basis. The 28-year-old should be ignored for fantasy purposes when the Broncos face the Jets in London in Week 6.

Broncos' Adam Trautman: Records two catches in win
Adam Trautman caught two of three targets for 32 yards in Monday's 28-3 win over the Bengals.Trautman had another quiet day in Week 4; however, his 32 receiving yards accounted for his highest total of the season thus far. The veteran tight end played 42 of the Denver Broncos' 81 offensive snaps, ahead of both Evan Engram (35) and Nate Adkins (34). Even so, Engram was predictably a much larger part of Denver's offensive plans, earning seven targets in the contest. Based on his lack of consistent usage in the passing game, Trautman remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Eagles.

Broncos' Adam Trautman: Not involved in Week 3
Adam Trautman failed to record a single target in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Chargers.Trautman was a nonfactor against the Chargers despite teammate Evan Engram (back) being ruled out for the contest. The veteran tight end played just 19 of the Denver Broncos' 52 offensive snaps, second among Denver tight ends behind Lucas Krull (22). Even with Engram sidelined, Trautman remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes based on his limited usage in the passing game. Fantasy managers should not rely on the 28-year-old in a Week 4 matchup against the Bengals, even if Engram misses more time.

Broncos' Adam Trautman: Hits pay dirt against Colts
Adam Trautman caught all three of his targets for 10 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-28 loss to the Colts.Trautman found the end zone for the first time this season while playing 62 percent of Denver's offensive snaps, the most of any Denver Broncos tight end. The veteran's saw three targets from quarterback Bo Nix, while Evan Engram was targeted twice. It's possible Engram was being eased back into action following a calf injury he sustained in Week 1, but Trautman has now seen the most playing time of the entire position group in the first two games of the season. It's conceivable Trautman continues to lead in snap share at the position based on his blocking abilities, but he doesn't see enough work in the passing game to be consistently relevant for fantasy purposes. The 28-year-old will have an opportunity to build on his performance when the Broncos visit the Chargers in Week 3.
