Reuniting with HC in Denver
Trautman was traded by the Saints along with a seventh-round draft pick to the Broncos on Saturday in exchange for a sixth-round selection, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
The 2020 third-round pick reunites with former Saints head coach Sean Payton in Denver. Trautman never lived up to his draft status and couldn't really separate himself as the team's top option throughout his tenure in New Orleans, eventually ceding the starting role to Juwan Johnson in 2022. It remains to be seen if that will change much with promising second-year tight end Greg Dulcich (hamstring) atop the Broncos' depth chart and explosive athlete Albert Okwuegbunam also waiting in the wings, but the change in scenery could benefit Trautman if he's able to carve out steady snaps in his new locale.

One catch Week 18
Trautman caught his only target for 18 yards during Sunday's 10-7 defeat against Carolina.
This final stat line is an accurate representation of the 25-year-old's limited role this season. On 503 offensive snaps over 15 games, Trautman posted 18 catches on 22 targets for 207 yards and a touchdown. This was a marked step down from his role during the 2021 season, when he recorded 43 targets on 615 offensive plays in 13 games. The 2020 third-round pick also never saw more than three targets in any game during the 2022 campaign, as he was consistently overshadowed by Juwan Johnson. Trautman's lack of production, despite the Saints' injury woes at wide receiver, does not bode well for his fantasy relevance heading into the 2023 season.
First catch in four weeks
Trautman caught his only target for 16 yards during Sunday's 20-10 victory versus Philadelphia.
Trautman logged his first reception and just his second target since a Week 13 loss to Tampa Bay. The tight end finished as one of five Saints players to haul in their lone target behind the team's clear-cut top receiving trio of Rashid Shaheed, Chris Olave and Juwan Johnson. Trautman's primary role as a run blocker has only been reinforced by Johnson's continued production in the passing game over the second half of the season. Barring injuries or a plan to rest starters in Week 18 with the playoffs now out of reach, expect the Saints to continue feeding the ball to receivers other than Trautman.
