Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Leading receiver in lopsided win
Rotowire
Sutton caught seven of eight targets for 78 yards in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Falcons.
Sutton led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards but wasn't on the receiving end of any of Bo Nix's four touchdown passes. Since being held without a catch by the Saints in Week 7, Sutton has bounced back by posting at least six catches and 70 yards in each of his last four games. With Nix surging under center, Denver's top wide receiver has turned into a reliable fantasy option ahead of a Week 12 road game against the Raiders.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Sutton is on fire heading into Week 11 against the Falcons, and I would start him as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues. He scored at least 17.1 PPR points in three games in a row against the Panthers, Ravens, and Chiefs, and he has at least nine targets, six catches, and 70 yards in each outing, including one touchdown. The Falcons are No. 7 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and 10 receivers have scored at least 13.5 PPR points against Atlanta this season.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Another TD grab in loss
Rotowire
Sutton brought in six of nine targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 16-14 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
Sutton led the Broncos in receptions, receiving yards and targets while also recording his third touchdown catch of the season on an impressive 32-yard grab just past the midway point of the second quarter. Sutton now has at least Sunday's 70-yard tally in three consecutive games overall, a span during which he's also drawn 30 total targets. The veteran receiver should continue playing a key role during a Week 11 home matchup against an inconsistent Falcons secondary.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Caps big day with TD pass
Rotowire
Sutton caught seven of 10 targets for 122 yards and threw a two-yard touchdown to Bo Nix in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Ravens.
The veteran wideout produced the Broncos' only TD of the afternoon, just not in the way anyone likely expected. Sutton has erupted for back-to-back 100-yard performances, posting a combined 15-222-0 line on 21 targets, and he'll try to get back into the end zone himself for the first time since Week 6 in next Sunday's road tilt against Kansas City.

Sutton is coming off a strong game in Week 8 against Carolina with eight catches for 100 yards on 11 targets. He now has five games this season with at least six targets, and he's scored at least 13.8 PPR points in four of them. The Ravens are No. 2 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and seven receivers have scored at least 12.9 PPR points against Baltimore in the past four games. I like Sutton as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues for Week 9.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Reaches century mark Sunday
Rotowire
Sutton caught eight of 11 passes for 100 yards in Sunday's 28-14 win over the Panthers.
In rookie quarterback Bo Nix's best performance yet, Sutton broke out for his first 100-yard game of the campaign and a season high in receptions. Nix may have made it a point of emphasis to get the ball to Sutton after the fifth-year wideout went without a target the week before against the Saints, but given the results, he isn't likely to be forgotten about again. Sutton could be in line for big numbers again Week 9 against a Ravens secondary that has struggled all year and just got torched for a 7-99-2 line by the unheralded Cedric Tillman and a 5-79-0 line by former Bronco Jerry Jeudy.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Sutton had no targets in Week 7 at New Orleans, but he should be involved in the game plan in Week 8 against Carolina. Prior to Week 7, Sutton had scored at least 13.8 PPR points in three of his previous four games. The Panthers have allowed eight receivers to score at least 15.8 PPR points this season, and Sutton is worth using as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in Week 8, given the matchup.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Surprisingly blanked in big win
Rotowire
Sutton did not draw a target during the Broncos' 33-10 win over the Saints on Thursday night.
The Broncos' No. 1 wideout was shockingly uninvolved in a game during which his team enjoyed a solid amount of offensive success, although Sutton did draw a target late in the first quarter that didn't end up in the box score due to the Saints' defensive holding penalty on the play. Given he'd drawn an impressive 47 targets from Bo Nix over the first six games, Thursday can safely be chalked up as an outlier for Sutton, who'll be well-positioned for a bounce-back performance during a Week 8 home matchup against the Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 27.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Makes impressive TD grab
Rotowire
Sutton finished with four receptions (six targets) for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chargers.
Sutton made his mark on this contest when he fully extended to catch a 37-pass from Bo Nix for a highlight-reel touchdown. It was the 28-year-old Sutton's second touchdown through six games after the veteran snagged 10 scores in 2023. Denver's offense is starting to show some life as Nix continues to develop under center, giving Sutton modest fantasy appeal against the Saints in Week 7 on Thursday Night Football.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: WRs to Sit
Rotowire
Sutton has done a nice job this season with three games with at least nine targets, and he scored at least 13.8 PPR points in two of them. But in his other three games he's scored 7.8 PPR points or less, and this is a tough matchup against the Chargers. Only two receivers have scored more than 10.9 PPR points against Los Angeles this season, which were Calvin Austin in Week 3 and Xavier Worthy in Week 4. I expect the Chargers to limit Sutton's production this week, and he's only worth starting in three-receiver leagues.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Held quiet on five targets
Rotowire
Sutton recorded two receptions on five targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 34-18 win over the Raiders.
Sutton led the Broncos' wide receivers in targets, though Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin were used heavily as pass catchers and diminished Sutton's volume. His most impactful contribution was a 24-yard reception midway through the fourth quarter to set up a touchdown to Josh Reynolds on the next play. Sutton has had reliable targets early this season, but he has yet to reach 70 yards in a game.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Sutton has at least nine targets in three of four games this season, and he scored at least 13.8 PPR points in each of his past two games against Tampa Bay and the Jets. He should be considered a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues in a plus matchup against Las Vegas in Week 5. The Raiders have already allowed five receivers to score at least 13 PPR points, and Sutton has scored at least 13 PPR points in three of his past four games against Las Vegas.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Scores game's only touchdown
Rotowire
Sutton caught three passes for 60 yards and one touchdown on nine targets against the Jets on Sunday.
Between the brutal matchup and the rain, Sutton's inefficiency was understandable. There's also additional optimism to be gleaned from the fact Sutton's score was the only one of the game, and as rookie signal-caller Bo Nix gains more experience, it's certainly possible he begins to more consistently unleash Sutton's considerable talents. Sutton has a more favorable matchup awaiting in a Week 5 divisional clash against the Raiders.

Sutton had a breakout game of sorts in Week 3 at Tampa Bay with seven catches for 68 yards on 11 targets, and his 13.8 PPR points were easily a season high. Prior to that, he scored 7.8 PPR points in Week 1 at Seattle and 3.6 PPR points in Week 2 against Pittsburgh. He should struggle again this week against the Jets, especially any time he lines up against Sauce Gardner. At best, Sutton is a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Paces pass catchers in win
Rotowire
Sutton brought in seven of 11 targets for 68 yards in the Broncos' 26-7 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Sutton led the Broncos in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, with the first two totals also serving as season highs. The veteran wideout had unsurprisingly seen his numbers drop while working with rookie signal-caller Bo Nix over the latter's first two career games, but the 12th overall pick's improved performance Sunday encouragingly lifted Sutton up the most of any Denver pass catcher. The duo will aim to carry over the momentum into a Week 4 road matchup against the Jets.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: WRs to Sit
Rotowire
Sutton is one of 18 receivers this season with at least 16 targets, but he's been a miserable Fantasy option despite all of those chances. In two games against Seattle and Pittsburgh, Sutton has combined for five catches for 64 yards and no touchdowns, and he's not worth trusting in most leagues in Week 3 at Tampa Bay. Bo Nix is going to have to look better throwing to Sutton before Fantasy managers can rely on starting him in most leagues.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Another unproductive day
Rotowire
Sutton recorded one reception on four targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Steelers.
Sutton was an afterthought in Sunday's defeat, as he finished fifth on the team in targets. His lone reception came midway through the third quarter on a deep pass down the sideline. Positively, he was also targeted in the end zone, but Bo Nix's pass was picked off. It's been a concerning start to the season for Sutton as he has only five receptions and 64 yards on 16 targets through two contests.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Limited to 33 percent catch rate
Rotowire
Sutton had four receptions off of 12 targets for 38 yards in Sunday's Week 1 loss to the Seahawks.
Bo Nix's start to his career in Denver did not go well as a passer (no touchdowns and two picks), and Sutton fell victim to the effects of the rookie rollercoaster to kick off the regular season. The veteran wideout has the skills to produce big fantasy totals, but he will require improved quarterback play to do so. Those invested in Sutton should not lose faith in the wideout ahead of next Sunday's tilt against New England.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Significant role on tap in 2024
Rotowire
Sutton is set to be the Broncos' unquestioned No. 1 wide receiver for the 2024 campaign and has made improvements to his game this offseason, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
Entering the 2024 season, Sutton is on track to operate as Denver's top receiver while serving as a reliable target for rookie quarterback Bo Nix. According to Kosmider, the veteran pass catcher often "looked like Nix's security blanket at times during training camp." A developing connection between Sutton and Nix would serve the 28-year-old wideout well for fantasy purposes, as his elevated role in the offense should lead to consistent opportunities. Head coach Sean Payton understands Sutton's impact on the Broncos' success, stating "I would say he is important, and I think he knows that." While becoming more comfortable in Payton's system, the 6-foot-4, 216-pounder has worked to fine-tune his technique as a receiver, stating "I feel like this year, so far, I have been seeing so much more of an improvement in my route detail and my route technique." Based on his skill development and comfort within the scheme, Sutton figures to be a key piece of Denver's passing attack this season.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Catches passes from two QBs
Rotowire
Sutton caught two of three passes for 35 yards in Sunday's 34-30 preseason win over the Colts.
Sutton caught one pass apiece from Jarrett Stidham and Bo Nix, as both quarterbacks got a chance to work with Denver's first-team offense. The Broncos' wide receiver depth chart is unsettled behind Sutton, but the five-time 700-yard receiver is poised to operate as the team's top option in the passing game after hashing out a contract dispute earlier in the offseason. Nix is expected to start the next preseason game against the Packers, and Sutton will likely play with the rookie first-round pick as they look to build chemistry prior to the regular season.
