Adam Trautman Sees Six Targets
3 years agoNew Orleans Saints tight end Adam Trautman finished with three receptions for 18 yards on a team-leading six targets during Sunday's victory over Green Bay. Unfortunately, Trautman didn't put up big numbers with those targets. The tight end was drawing a lot of attention this preseason as a breakout candidate due to the Saints having a low number of receiving corps weapons. Nevertheless, Trautman was outshined by fellow TE Juwan Johnson in Week 1. Suddenly, it seems like Johnson may be fighting to earn that TE1 role, meaning Trautman's volume is not guaranteed weekly if he cannot make the most of his opportunities. The TE should remain on benches for now and should only be started once he shows he can put up solid numbers frequently.
