Catchless in Week 7 win Trautman failed to bring in his only target in the Saints' 27-24 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Impact After being 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.
Impact 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.
Impact 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.
Impact 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 workload Sunday.

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

New Orleans Saints see 2020 campaign as Super Bowl or bust
The New Orleans Saints have won more regular-season games since 2017 than any NFL team, and players have openly said they view the 2020 campaign as Super Bowl or bustAUGUST 26, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Impressing teammates Trautman has been a standout performer in the Saints' initial practices, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Impact 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.

Tough path to roster spot Griffin (undisclosed) may have a tough time cracking the Saints' season-opening roster, Larry Holder of The Athletic reports.
Impact Jared Cook remains the starter at tight end and Josh Hill hasn't missed a game since 2016, and New Orleans also added Adam Trautman in the third round of April's draft. Griffin spent last season on injured reserve and hasn't seen game action since 2017.
