Adam Trautman is a third-year tight end for the New Orleans Saints. Trautman is an excellent run-blocking tight end with a penchant for spectacular catches. The Dayton University alum has been the number one tight end for the Saints since the 2021-22 NFL season.
Trautman is as versatile as they come, and his skills have helped the New Orleans Saints become one of the most feared defensive sides in the league. However, for all of Adam Trautman's skills, the tight end's biggest kryptonite is his injury record.
In the 2022-23 NFL season, the same issue reared its ugly head as the pro injured his foot while taking an offensive snap against the Cincinnati Bengals. Trautman paid a visit to the locker room and returned with a heavy tape job on his left foot. However, he didn't last long before departing for a second time.
The injury puts a dent in the New Orleans Saints' plans, a franchise with a losing record this season. Additionally, Adam Trautman's injury worries fantasy football team owners with him on their side now that he's out for the unforeseen future.
Should you trade Adam Trautman?
Foot injuries are notoriously hard to predict, and it is way too early to know when the Dayton University alum will be back. Fantasy football team owners are in a fix as the third-year pro was looking good this season with the Saints.
We recommend trading away Adam Trautman for the time being; it's worth observing to see what transpires with regards to his foot injury.
Adam Trautman's Possible Replacements for Week 7
The tight end position is one of the diciest in the official NFL Fantasy League. The reason is that tight ends block, score, and conduct several intangible tasks while out on the field.
With Trautman out for the time being, replacements are to be scouted and we have two in mind. Our proposed replacements for the Saints' dual weapon are Kyle Pitts of the Atlanta Falcons and Swiss army knife Taysom Hill of the Saints.
Kyle Pitts is a solid like-for-like replacement for the injured Trautman, with the Pro Bowler being strong on offense. What's more, Pitts ramped up his 2022 campaign, scoring his first touchdown of the season in his side's Week 6 matchup.
Taysom Hill needs no introduction to fantasy team owners, as the Swiss army knife ticks every box in the fantasy league. As a player that plays multiple positions, you are guaranteed points every season.
