Tight end Greg Dulcich, who dealt with hamstring injuries throughout the 2023 season, worked out on the side, but Payton noted the third-year player is “close” to full participation and won’t have to be held out of training camp.

With Dulcich missing almost the entirety of last year, there was basically no tight end usage in the passing game, with Trautman leading the room with 22 catches. Dulcich shouldn't be considered in typical redraft leagues but makes for a good stash in Dynasty.

Dulcich was likely off fantasy radars for this week, but it would have been nice to see him suit up for consideration as the fantasy playoffs continue. No Broncos TEs need to be started this week.

The Broncos' tight end usage has been sad since Dulcich went down with his hamstring injury, missing action since Week 1. Outside of his 2-22 opening day performance, Denver TEs have combined for 12 receptions and a measly 79 yards. Fantasy managers should take a wait-and-see approach for now, but Dulcich could find himself in consideration when he is further removed from his injury.

One would think Dulcich would be a nice addition to the Broncos offense and Russell Wilson once he's back to form. Trautman produced a 5-34-0 line in Week 1 but after that it was all zeros until last week's game when he found the end zone against the Jets. Dulcich could be a sneaky addition to teams this week if he's still on your wire, especially if you don't own any of the top-tier TE options.

As Schefter noted, this is the same hamstring that caused Dulcich to miss Denver’s first five games last season and then the last two games at the end of the season as well. Schefter added the Broncos will take it slow with Dulcich when bringing him back, and he could be an IR candidate as a result of that statement. Meanwhile, Trautman was pretty involved in Denver's offense in Week 1, and could be worth a pickup if you're in need at the TE position.

Dennis Allen on Taysom Hill: "He's going to provide multiple roles for us."

The tweet added that Allen said Hill will, "still take some snaps from the quarterback position." So it looks like Hill could be up to his old tricks, much like when Drew Brees was the QB. Underhill did say Hill's primary position will be TE. Hill's potential at TE is yet to be determined, but any production could get a boost depending on how much time he'll see at QB.

Saints HC Dennis Allen told reporters that the plan for Taysom Hill is to play him at tight end.

The re-signing of Jameis Winston was the apparent death blow to Hil's time at quarterback. With Sean Payton no longer in New Orleans, the fetishism of Hill under center appears to be over.

If Trautman cannot play Week 16, Vannett will be the only viable tight end available for New Orleans.

Trautman was having a nice game before the injury, catching five balls for 58 yards and a TD. Vannett caught one ball for 20 yards and likely sees an increased role. Johnson is a name to watch as well, having a 2-36-0 line back on Nov. 14, with his best game a 3-21-2 line Sept. 12. He has three TDs total on the season but has never had more than three targets in a game this year.

Saints QB Taysom Hill did individual drills with the tight ends Wednesday according to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football.

The Taysom Hill shenanigans will continue in 2021. His inclusion in non-QB offensive situations hurts Trautman and Johnson and will cap their ceilings if Jameis Winston remains the Saints quarterback.
