Winston TDs highlight Saints' 23-21 preseason win over Jags
Jameis Winston passed for touchdowns of 43 and 29 yards to Marquez Callaway, and the New Orleans Saints defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 23-21 in a preseason gameAUGUST 24, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Leaves Monday due to injury Trautman injured his left ankle or foot during Monday's preseason game versus the Jaguars, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Impact 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.

Slated for starting role Trautman is expected to step into a starting role this season, Katherine Terrell of the Athletic reports.
Impact 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. Should a jump in targets follow his likely surge in playing time this fall, Trautman could become a significant fantasy contributor before long.

Saints mindful of holes beyond QB in first post-Brees draft
The first New Orleans Saints draft since the retirement of all-time leading NFL passer Drew Brees might not include a quarterbackAPRIL 23, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
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.
Impact 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. If Trautman is New Orleans' primary pass-catching tight end next season, he could be a productive fantasy player, though who's under center will certainly factor into his production.

Five yards in victory Trautman caught his only target for five yards in the Saints' 33-7 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Impact Trautman ends his rookie season with 15 receptions for 171 yards and a score. With Jared Cook set to be a free agent in 2021 and Trautman boasting a third-round pedigree, he has a path to meaningful production next season.

Curious calls by Sean Payton, Jon Gruden highlight Week 16

Two receptions in Week 16 win Trautman reeled in both of his targets for 45 yards in the Saints' 52-33 win over the Vikings on Friday.
Impact 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.

NFL Way To Play Week 14: Adam Trautman's 'perfect block' Nate Burleson breaks down New Orleans Saints TE Adam Trautman's
DECEMBER 17, 2020 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM
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.
Impact 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.
DECEMBER 14, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Three receptions in Week 13 victory Trautman caught all three of his targets for nine yards in the Saints' 21-16 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Impact 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.
DECEMBER 7, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Eight yards in Week 12 victory Trautman caught his lone target for eight yards in the Saints' 31-3 win over the Broncos on Sunday.
Impact 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.
NOVEMBER 30, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Hauls in one catch Trautman brought in his lone target for 19 yards in the Saints' 24-9 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Impact Trautman emerged for a single reception, and that was the extent of his involvement Sunday. The rookie has been held without a catch in five of nine contests this season and is not on the fantasy radar outside of dynasty formats.
NOVEMBER 23, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
First career touchdown 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.
Impact 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 is likely to see a reduced role moving forward, and fantasy managers shouldn't expect regular scoring.
