  • Two touchdowns in 13 games

    Trautman caught 27 of 43 targets for 263 yards and two touchdowns over 13 games in 2021.

    Analysis: Expectations were relatively high for Trautman entering the season with the No. 1 role at tight end seemingly all to himself. While he logged a majority of the snaps whenever he was available, Trautman ran a route on just over a third of his snaps, and his lone productive fantasy outing came against the Eagles' league-worst defense versus tight ends. Otherwise, he mainly provided value as a blocker as the Saints revolving door at quarterback made it hard for any New Orleans pass catcher to…read more

  • Lays goose egg

    Trautman was not targeted with a pass during Sunday's 18-10 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Trautman logged 83 percent of the offensive snaps but was never targeted with a pass. While he consistently has logged a lion's share of the playing time when healthy this year, his only decent fantasy performance came Week 11 against the Eagles defense, which is league worst versus tight ends. Otherwise, Trautman hasn't been worthy of much attention in the fantasy realm, and it should remain that way Week 18 against Atlanta.

  • Returns from COVID list

    New Orleans activated Trautman (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: Trautman is one of 19 players that the Saints returned from COVID protocols this week, allowing the team to field a much more competitive unit this weekend against Carolina. The 2020 third-round pick sits atop the Saints' tight end depth chart when healthy.

  • Not available for Monday night

    Trautman (illness) wasn't activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list prior to the Saints' deadline for Week 16 roster moves and won't be available for Monday's game against the Dolphins, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After testing positive for the virus Wednesday and landing on the list, Trautman was facing an uphill battle to gain clearance for the Week 16 contest. With Trautman sidelined for the fourth time in five games -- he was spent Weeks 12 through 14 on injured reserve with a sprained knee -- Nick Vannett and Ethan Wolf are left as the Saints' options at tight end.

  • Hitting COVID-19 list

    The Saints placed Trautman (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Trautman's placement on the list was the result of a positive test of the virus, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. He now may be in danger of missing Monday's game against the Dolphins, and he joins fellow tight end Juwan Johnson on the COVID-19 list after the latter landed there Tuesday. The Saints have Garrett Griffin (hamstring) and Dylan Soehner (undisclosed) on injured reserve, leaving Nick Vannett as the only healthy tight end on the active roster at the moment.

  • Catches pass in return to field

    Trautman caught one of two passes for four yards during Sunday's 9-0 win over Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Trautman only needed the minimum of three games to return from an MCL sprain that landed him on injured reserve. However, he ultimately tied Nick Vannett with 57 percent of the playing time, while Juwan Johnson (35 percent) saw a healthy amount of snaps as well. Considering Trautman regularly topped 80 percent pre-injury, it wouldn't be a surprise to see his opportunities rise down the stretch.

  • Off injured reserve

    The Saints activated Trautman (knee) from injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: Trautman spent the minimum three games on IR after spraining his MCL during a Week 11 loss at Philadelphia. Now that he's back on the active roster, he'll assume No. 1 TE duties Sunday in Tampa Bay, which translated to between 53 and 88 percent of offensive snaps in his 10 appearances prior to the injury. However, it didn't show up in the box score often to the tune of 25 catches (on 40 targets) for 241 yards on the receiving end of passes from Jameis Winston and Trevor Siemian. Trautman has…read more

  • Practice window opens

    The Saints designated Trautman (knee) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Trautman landed on IR after he suffered an MCL sprain during a Week 11 loss to the Eagles. He's missed the mandatory three games in order for him to be eligible to return to the active roster, but Trautman is no lock to be available for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay. At the time he suffered his injury, Trautman received an estimated recovery timeline of 4-to-6 weeks, so he'll need to demonstrate he's healthy in practice this week if he hopes to be activated for the short end of that window. New…read more

  • Moves to IR

    Trautman (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: Trautman's move off the 53-man roster was fully expected after Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Monday that the tight end sustained an MCL sprain in Sunday's 40-29 loss to the Eagles. He's expected to need 4-6 weeks to make a full recovery from the injury, so the Saints will likely be without him until at least late December. Trautman's move to IR comes at a particularly unfortunate time, as he was just beginning to carve out a more pronounced role in the team's passing attack with six or more…read more

  • Expected to miss time

    Trautman (knee) was diagnosed Tuesday with a sprained MCL and is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The Saints haven't provided confirmation of Trautman's injury, but the tight end is now set to miss time beginning with Thursday's game against the Bills, Nick Vannett, Garrett Griffin and Juwan Johnson are slated to handle the team's tight end duties in the coming weeks.

  • Bothered by knee injury

    The Saints listed Trautman as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report due to a knee issue.

    Analysis: Trautman wasn't known to have been dealing with an injury during Sunday's 40-29 loss to the Eagles, and it wasn't evident in his production either, as he turned in a 5-58-1 receiving line on eight targets. The tight end has taken on a heightened role in the passing game since Trevor Siemian came on in relief of injured starting quarterback Jameis Winston (knee) in Week 8, drawing no fewer than six targets in any of the Saints' last four games. Because New Orleans is facing a quick turnaround…read more

  • Finds end zone in loss

    Trautman brought in five of eight targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 40-29 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Analysis: The second-year pro now has drawn 27 targets over the last four games, with Trevor Siemian clearly prioritizing him when dropping back. Trautman's 18-yard scoring grab early in the second quarter also was the second of his career, with the first having come way back in Week 9 against the Buccaneers last season. Trautman's next opportunity to build on his recent momentum comes quickly, as the Saints host the Bills for an interconference showdown on Thanksgiving night in Week 12.

  • Becoming favorite target

    Trautman caught five of six targets for 32 yards during Sunday's 23-21 loss to Tennessee.

    Analysis: While the final results weren't great, the heightened usage continues for Trautman with Trevor Siemian under center. After totaling 13 targets in seven games with Jameis Winston, Trautman has now seen 19 in three games with Siemian. While this increased attention has yet to translate to significant fantasy production, few other tight ends around the league have seen more opportunities over the past few weeks. With the Eagles' leaky defense on deck in Week 11, Trautman could be worth a roll of…read more

  • Increased usage continues

    Trautman caught four of seven targets for 47 yards during Sunday's 27-25 loss to Atlanta.

    Analysis: Trautman didn't do much before the fourth quarter, but on one drive he had four catches within six plays to help the Saints get their first touchdown, after which Trautman was unsuccessfully targeted on a two-point conversion attempt. That brings Trautman up to 13 targets in under two games with Trevor Siemian after averaging 2.2 in just over six games with Jameis Winston (knee), who will miss the rest of the year with a torn ACL. While Winston technically had higher upside than Siemian as a…read more

  • Does little with six targets

    Trautman caught two of six targets for four yards during Sunday's 36-27 win over the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Trautman's disappointing season continued Sunday despite him matching the season-high six targets he saw Week 1. With Jameis Winston (knee) likely to miss time, Trautman becomes even less reliable as a fantasy option despite having a friendly Week 9 matchup against Atlanta.

  • Fumbles in rainy win

    Trautman caught all three of his targets for 36 yards and lost a fumble in Monday's 13-10 win over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Trautman's fumble set up Seattle's game-tying field goal in the third quarter, but New Orleans scored the only points of the fourth on a field goal with 1:59 remaining to secure the victory and bail out the tight end. Though he actually ranked second on the team in receiving yards in this game, Trautman has just nine catches for 100 yards without a touchdown this season heading into a Week 8 visit from the Buccaneers.

  • Posts best game of year

    Trautman caught both his targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 33-22 win over Washington.

    Analysis: Most of the tight end's production came on a 32-yard grab in the fourth quarter that helped set up the Saints' final touchdown of the afternoon. Trautman will head into the team's Week 6 bye with only six catches for 64 yards through five games, and the competition for targets could get a lot stiffer on the other side of the break with Michael Thomas (ankle) and Tre'Quan Smith (hamstring) both eligible to return.

  • Secures lone target in passing game

    Trautman secured his only target for three yards during Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: The six targets Trautman saw in the season opener seem like an outlier now that he's seen only two more in three games since. Meanwhile, Juwan Johnson has seen three targets in three of four contests. Barring an uptick in usage -- which may be especially unlikely with Michael Thomas (ankle) and Tre'Quan Smith (hamstring) expected to return at some point this year -- Trautman is completely falling off the fantasy radar.

  • Little usage as receiver again

    Trautman was targeted with one pass but did not record a catch during Sunday's 28-13 win over New England.

    Analysis: Trautman logged over 80 percent of the offensive snaps for the second time in three games, but he again was an afterthought in the passing game after leading the team with six looks in the season opener. Unless he starts seeing increased usage as a pass catcher, he seems like nothing more than a touchdown-dependent fantasy option.

  • No targets in passing game

    Trautman was not targeted during Sunday's 26-7 loss to Carolina.

    Analysis: On a day when Jameis Winston had trouble moving the ball, Trautman was not used as a safety valve over the middle of the field. Instead, Alvin Kamara and Marquez Callaway saw almost half of Winston's 21 pass attempts while Juwan Johnson was the only Saints tight end to have a pass sent his way. While Trautman at least paced his position group with 52 percent of the offensive snaps, Johnson was close behind at 41 percent and ultimately saw a target every six snaps.

  • Leads team in targets

    Trautman caught three of six targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 38-3 victory over the Packers.

    Analysis: Trautman led the Saints in targets on a day when Jameis Winston needed to throw only 20 passes, but he dropped two of them while fellow tight end Juwan Johnson caught all three of his targets for 21 yards and two touchdowns. While his high target share is encouraging, the second-year tight end will warrant fantasy consideration only in deeper leagues until he becomes more impactful as a receiver down the field.

  • Gets healthy for Week 1

    Trautman (ankle) wasn't listed on the Saints' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: A 2020 third-round pick, Trautman was poised to take a bigger role in the offense following the offseason departures of Jared Cook and Josh Hill, but his first preseason in that role was less than desirable. First, Trautman wasn't targeted while playing 16 snaps on offense in the Saints' first preseason game. In New Orleans' second exhibition contest, he again was blanked before leaving the field on a cart with a left ankle injury. With an expected recovery timetable of 1-to-3 weeks, Trautman's…read more

  • Likely out 1-to-3 weeks

    Trautman (ankle) expects to miss 1-to-3 weeks, but he could have a different timeline after he visits a specialist Thursday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Fellow Saints tight end Nick Vannett (knee) is out for 2-to-4 weeks, leaving Juwan Johnson, Ethan Wolf and Garrett Griffin as the Saints' healthy options at the position for the time being. Trautman, a third-round pick last year, still is the best chance the group has to produce a viable fantasy player for 2021, though his second-year breakout case took a hit after a slow preseason (zero targets in two games) ended early due to the ankle injury. It isn't clear if Trautman will even be ready for…read more

  • Seeing specialist despite optimism

    Trautman (foot/ankle) is optimistic he avoided a major injury but nonetheless will visit a specialist to get a return timeline, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: While he seemingly avoided a long-term absence, there hasn't been anything said about Trautman's potential availability for Week 1. He's tentatively expected to be the team's top pass-catching tight end, with Nick Vannett (knee) the favorite for in-line, blocking work. Vannett was also injured in Monday's preseason game against the Saints, leaving Juwan Johnson and Ethan Wolf as the healthy tight ends.

  • Avoids serious injury

    Trautman (foot/ankle) is believed to have avoided a serious injury Monday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Trautman and fellow tight end Nick Vannett (knee) were scheduled to have MRIs following their respective early exits from Monday's preseason game against Jacksonville. The two are probably competing with teammates more so than each other given their differing skill sets, but it nonetheless leaves the Saints awfully thin -- though perhaps just temporarily -- at a position that already looked shaky.

    Analysis: Trautman didn't make a mark in the box score before he was carted to the locker room, per Katherine Terrell of The Athletic. With his health in mind, the Saints may not risk sending Trautman out there again, assuming he's cleared to do so. As long as he's sidelined, though, the team will trust in Nick Vannett, Juwan Johnson and Ethan Wolf to handle TE duties Monday.

  • Finishes without a target

    Trautman played 16 snaps without seeing a target in Saturday's preseason loss to Baltimore, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: It's a disappointing start to the preseason for a second-year breakout candidate, especially given that Taysom Hill and Jameis Winston attempted 12 passes apiece. Of course, it's still a small sample from an exhibition contest, so the broader case for Trautman remains the same. The 2020 third-round pick is hoping to become one of the Saints' top pass catchers, particularly while WR Michael Thomas rehabs from ankle surgery early in the season. We'll hope to see a busier outing from Trautman when…read more

  • Slated for starting role

    Trautman is expected to step into a starting role this season, Katherine Terrell of the Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After letting both Jared Cook and Josh Hill walk in free agency, New Orleans did almost nothing to replenish the tight end room this offseason outside of signing Broncos castoff Nick Vannett. The team's belief in Trautman may be the main reason why, as the all-around tight end followed up a 900-yard, 14-touchdown 2019 season at Dayton with an impressive rookie campaign that saw Trautman finish as Pro Football Focus' No. 1 blocking tight end in 2020.

  • Secondary role in rookie season

    Trautman hauled in 17 passes for 171 yards and a touchdown as a rookie in 2020 over 15 regular-season games.

    Analysis: With Jared Cook operating as New Orleans' primary tight end for most of the season, Trautman was minimally involved in the receiving game as a rookie. His single-game high for receptions was just three (twice) and his high for yardage was 45, though his outlook for 2021 is a bit more encouraging. The veteran Cook is set to be a free agent, and after spending a third-round pick on Trautman in 2020, the team may be confident enough in him to let Cook walk.

    Trautman reeled in both of his targets for 45 yards in the Saints' 52-33 win over the Vikings on Friday.

    Analysis: Most of Trautman's production came on a 41-yard grab, but he was otherwise uninvolved. Trautman has little scoring upside, and the timeshare with Jared Cook leaves the former off the fantasy radar in most formats.

  • One catch in Week 14 loss

    Trautman caught his lone target for 12 yards in the Saints' 24-21 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Analysis: Jared Cook has apparently been revived, as the veteran tight end has scored in each of his last two contests. As a result, Trautman remains a second-string option and a player best suited for dynasty rosters rather than redraft rosters at this point.

    Trautman caught all three of his targets for nine yards in the Saints' 21-16 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: The rookie matched his season high in receptions, but he was unable to turn them into meaningful yards against Atlanta's porous defense. Trautman isn't a fantasy-relevant option in New Orleans' passing attack.

    Trautman caught his lone target for eight yards in the Saints' 31-3 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

    Analysis: For yet another week, Trautman found his name in the box score and out-gained Jared Cook. Trautman finished third on the team in receiving yards, though that didn't amount to much in Sunday's low-volume passing attack. Trautman doesn't belong on redraft fantasy rosters outside the deepest of leagues.

    Trautman brought in his lone target for 19 yards in the Saints' 24-9 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Trautman hauled in all three of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 38-3 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: The rookie entered the game with just three receptions for 34 yards on the season, so this performance was certainly unexpected. Trautman grabbed a seven-yard strike in the first quarter for his first NFL touchdown that put the Saints up, 14-0. With New Orleans' receiving corps returning to full strength, Trautman likely will see a reduced role moving forward, and fantasy managers shouldn't expect regular scoring.

  • Catchless in Week 7 win

    Trautman failed to bring in his only target in the Saints' 27-24 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: After serving as a healthy scratch in Week 5, Trautman got some work in Sunday's win with Michael Thomas (hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (COVID) out of action, though he was unable to capitalize on the playing time. With Jared Cook healthy, Trautman isn't on the fantasy radar in even the deepest of leagues.

  • Not suiting up Monday

    Trautman (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: The rookie third-round pick wasn't targeted Week 4 despite the absence of Jared Cook (groin), and he won't be suiting up Monday with Cook active. Trautman has played a minor role in the passing game through four contests, catching all three targets for 34 yards.

  • No targets Week 4

    Trautman wasn't targeted in Sunday's 35-29 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: The rookie third-rounder looked poised for more looks with Jared Cook (groin) out of the lineup, but Josh Hill ended up logging more snaps and finished with one catch for seven yards. Rookie tight ends are often tough to depend on, and even if Cook sits out Week 5 against the Chargers, Michael Thomas (ankle) could return and likely will command his usual target share.

  • Increased usage on tap

    Trautman is expected to have an uptick in usage Sunday versus the Lions following news that Jared Cook (groin) has been ruled out, John Sigler of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Star wideout and typical target monster Michael Thomas (ankle) has also been ruled out. Missing Cook is a big loss for the Saints, as he ranks second on the team with 15 targets, but the team has faith that Trautman can step up. The rookie third-rounder out of Dayton has caught all three of his targets for 34 yards this season, and he was quite productive in his final collegiate season with a 70-916-14 line. With no other tight ends currently on the active roster, Trautman could handle a full…read more

  • Two receptions in loss

    Trautman caught both of his targets for 17 yards in the Saints' 37-30 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Trautman recorded the first multi-catch game of his career. Jared Cook left this one early, as he was seen limping to the locker room in the second half. If he's limited or forced to miss time, Trautman should see his role increase moving forward.

  • Snags one pass in loss

    Trautman recorded a 17-yard reception on his lone target in Monday's 34-24 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Trautman has played just 15 offensive snaps over two weeks, as he's considered the No. 3 TE behind Jared Cook and Josh Hill. The rookie third-rounder showed a flash with his reception, but he likely won't have much fantasy relevance this season.

  • Impressing teammates

    Trautman has been a standout performer in the Saints' initial practices, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: The third-round rookie has gotten some work with the first-team offense and drew the attention of fellow tight end Jared Cook for his hands and route running. Trautman is unlikely to see much work in the passing game in his first season with New Orleans, but these promising early reports suggest he could be on track for future success.
