Adam Trautman could be Broncos’ starter in 2023

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said that TE Adam Trautman, who was listed as the TE1 on the team’s first unofficial depth chart, earned the edge for his run blocking, though multiple TEs will play in the system.

Fantasy Impact: Trautman was drafted by Payton and the New Orleans Saints in 2020, playing three seasons and catching 60 passes for 641 yards and four scores. He signed with the Broncos in the offseason and was listed ahead of second-year TE Greg Dulcich on the unofficial preliminary depth chart. Payton said that Dulcich and Trautman could be more of a TE1A and TE1B, though, so they may see plenty of action together. Dulcich, who is a more skilled pass-catcher, may play more of a role as a receiving TE, totaling 411 yards in 10 games as a rookie, while Trautman plays a more all-around role. Denver’s starters are expected to play in the preseason, so it will be a good opportunity to see how they utilize their TEs.
