Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Four grabs in Week 11 win
Rotowire
Sutton caught four of eight targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 22-19 win over Kansas City.
The veteran matched Troy Franklin in receptions and targets, but it was the second-year wideout who paced Denver with 84 receiving yards. Sutton has become the 1B to Franklin's 1A in the Broncos' passing game, and over the last six games Sutton has posted a 19-284-1 line on 37 targets compared to Franklin's 25-278-4 line on 49 targets.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: WRs to Sit
Rotowire
Sutton is struggling coming into Week 11 against Kansas City with 10.7 PPR points or less in three games in a row. During that stretch, he only has eight catches for 121 yards and one touchdown on 16 targets, and he's been outplayed by Troy Franklin, who has 15 catches for 156 yards and three touchdowns on 27 targets over that span. I would actually play Franklin over Sutton against the Chiefs, but both are just No. 3 Fantasy receivers in the majority of leagues. Kansas City is No. 6 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and the Chiefs have surrendered just three touchdowns to the position since Week 1. I'm hopeful Sutton will snap out of his recent slump, but he's tough to trust in this matchup in Week 11.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Three catches in Week 10 win
Rotowire
Sutton secured three of four targets for 24 yards in the Broncos' 10-7 win over the Raiders on Thursday night.
Sutton put together another quiet performance, finishing with his third sub-30-yard performance in the last five games. The veteran wideout also has four or fewer catches in four of the last five games, a stark departure from the first five games of the season, when he posted a 26-365-3 receiving line on 37 targets. Sutton should have a good chance of reverting to a higher-volume role in Week 11, however, as the Chiefs pay a visit for a critical divisional showdown on Sunday, Nov. 16.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Sutton caught a 30-yard touchdown in Week 9 at Houston, but that was his only reception on six targets. He's scored 10.7 PPR points or less in three of his past four games heading into Week 10 against Las Vegas, but he should break out of his slump in this matchup. He has at least 13 PPR points in three of his past five meetings with the Raiders, who are No. 5 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and a receiver has scored at least 17 PPR points against Las Vegas in each of the past two games. Sutton has top-10 upside in all leagues in this matchup, and I also like Troy Franklin as a sleeper. He has 28 targets in his past three games and has scored at least 12.9 PPR points in two games over that span.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Hauls in TD in Houston
Rotowire
Sutton caught just one of six targets for a 30-yard touchdown in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Texans.
The Texans' secondary did a good job of blanketing Sutton most of the afternoon, but he was able to beat Derek Stingley down the sideline for a TD late in the second quarter. Sutton snapped a four-game scoring drought with the catch, but it's the third time in nine contests he's been held to only one grab, leaving him with a 38-566-4 line on 62 targets for the season. The veteran wideout should be much more productive against a more vulnerable defense in a Week 10 home tilt against the Raiders.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Sleepers (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Sutton has scored 10.7 PPR points or less in two of his past three games coming into Week 9 at Houston, and he hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 4. Now, he has to face a Texans defense that is No. 4 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and Sutton will likely see a lot of Houston cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. I don't expect Sutton to get completely shut down, but he's more of a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues in this matchup on the road.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Modest line as youngsters shine
Rotowire
Sutton finished with four receptions on six targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 44-24 win over the Cowboys.
Sutton took a back seat to Denver's younger receiving options Sunday, watching Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant and RJ Harvey collect all of Bo Nix's touchdown passes in the blowout win. The veteran starter still produced adequate receiving totals despite failing to reach the end zone, duplicating the 67.0 yards/game average he posted over his previous seven appearances. Fantasy managers are hoping Sutton can return to the end zone against the Texans in Week 9 after he scored all three of his touchdowns in Denver's first four games of the season.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Leading receiver on 10 targets
Rotowire
Sutton finished with six receptions on 10 targets for 87 yards in Sunday's 33-32 win over the Giants.
Sutton got back on track after being held to just 17 receiving yards against the Jets in London last week. The 29-year-old helped play the role of hero when he corralled a 22-yard pass from QB Bo Nix on the penultimate play before a game-winning field goal from kicker Wil Lutz. Sutton has been providing WR2 production for fantasy managers with a 33-469-3 receiving line through seven weeks. Consider the physical wideout a plus play for next Sunday's tilt against a porous Dallas pass defense.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Struggles in tough matchup overseas
Rotowire
Sutton was held to one reception on three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 13-11 win over the Jets.
Sutton traveled overseas to London for Sunday's international tilt, only to be greeted impolitely by Jets' CB Sauce Gardner once the game kicked off. The shutdown corner won his individual matchup against Sutton, holding Denver's No. 1 wideout to just one reception in the narrow victory. This was Sutton's second one-catch performance through six starts this season, which would be concerning if he hadn't posted WR1 numbers in his four other appearances. Sunday's dud can be written off as a bad matchup coupled with an unfavorable game script. Look for Sutton to get back to his productive ways against the Giants next Sunday.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Paces pass catchers in upset win
Rotowire
Sutton brought in eight of 10 targets for 99 yards in the Broncos' 21-17 win over the Eagles on Sunday.
Sutton led the Broncos in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, recording a team-high 34-yard catch along the way. The veteran wideout fell just short of what would have been his second 100-yard game of the campaign, but he's now posted at least 81 receiving yards in three straight contests. Sutton figures to remain Bo Nix's top target when the Broncos travel to London to face the Jets in a Week 6 clash next Sunday.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Leading receiver on MNF
Rotowire
Sutton finished with five receptions (on six targets) for 81 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 28-3 win over the Bengals.
Sutton stayed hot with his second trip to the end zone in as many weeks while pacing the Broncos in receiving yards on Monday Night Football. The one-catch dud in Week 2 is proving to be an anomaly after the veteran wideout posted WR1 numbers in his three other starts this year. Expect Sutton to continue operating as QB Bo Nix's favorite target in a road matchup against the Eagles on Sunday.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Re-establishes himself as top WR
Rotowire
Sutton corralled six of eight targets for 118 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Chargers.
Sutton bounced back nicely from last week's one-catch dud, ripping off a 52-yard touchdown grab while posting his first 100-plus yard performance of the season. The 29-year-old re-established himself as Bo Nix's favorite option, finishing with four more targets than Marvin Mims and rookie Troy Franklin. Sutton will carry a healthy 13-185-2 receiving line into a Week 4 matchup against the Bengals on Monday Night Football.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Sutton struggled in Week 2 at Indianapolis with one catch for 6 yards on four targets, but he should bounce back this week at the Chargers. Sutton has scored a touchdown in three of his past four games against the Chargers, and Los Angeles could struggle to put pressure on Bo Nix in this game with standout pass rusher Khalil Mack (elbow) out. Troy Franklin, who had 24 PPR points in Week 2 at the Colts, is worth using as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues. But I like Sutton as a solid No. 2 Fantasy option in all formats in Week 3.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Abysmal Week 2 showing
Rotowire
Sutton recorded one reception on four targets for six yards in Sunday's 29-28 loss to the Colts.
Bo Nix spread targets among the Denver pass catchers very evenly, with nine players targeted at least twice in the contest. While that was one factor in limiting Sutton's involvement, Troy Franklin also commanded nine targets to lead the team. It seems unlikely that Franklin will truly challenge Sutton for opportunities moving forward, but this was nevertheless a concerning performance for the latter.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Impressive to close preseason
Rotowire
Sutton secured four of seven targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 28-19 preseason win over the Saints on Saturday afternoon.
Sutton tied for the team lead in receptions and set the pace in receiving yards and targets on the afternoon as well. The first-team offense was supposed to be in on just 8-10 plays according to head coach Sean Payton's statements earlier in the week, but a lackluster opening drive likely drove Payton to keep the first unit out there for two additional possessions. Sutton put the extra opportunity to good use, rounding out his afternoon with a 19-yard scoring grab to close out the first unit's third and final drive. Sutton heads into the 2025 season as the clear-cut No. 1 receiver in Denver's Bo Nix-led offense.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: One grab against 49ers
Rotowire
Sutton caught one of three targets for two yards in Saturday's 30-9 preseason win over the 49ers.
Sutton had a quiet game with limited opportunities in Denver's first game of the preseason. Firmly entrenched as the Broncos' No. 1 wide receiver, the veteran was on the field with the starters during the first quarter of the contest. Though quarterback Bo Nix and Sutton were unable to connect much Saturday, they will look to improve upon a solid 2024 season as the chemistry continues to grow heading into the 2025 campaign. The 29-year-old wideout will have his next opportunity to lead the team's receiving corps when the Broncos host the Cardinals in Denver's second preseason game on Saturday night.
Sutton and the Broncos agreed Monday to a four-year extension, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Sutton was abstaining from full-speed reps in the early days of training camp while his agents and the team hammered out a deal. He now figures to be a full participant, gearing up for Year 2 with Bo Nix after finishing 2024 with career highs for catches, targets and fantasy points.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Leading receiver in wild-card loss
Rotowire
Sutton caught five of nine targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 31-7 wild-card round loss to the Bills.
The veteran wideout led the Broncos in catches, targets and receiving yards, although it was Troy Franklin who was on the other end of rookie QB Bo Nix's only TD pass Sunday. Sutton put together arguably the best campaign of his career in 2024, hauling in a career-high 81 passes for 1,081 yards and a career-high eight touchdowns over 17 regular-season contests, and his per-game averages soared in the second half of the year (60-804-6 over his last 10 games) once he developed stronger chemistry with Nix. Sutton is under contract for one more year, and assuming he returns to Denver in 2025, his big finish will put him in high demand at the fantasy draft table.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Closes regular season well
Rotowire
Sutton recorded five receptions on seven targets for 98 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-0 win over the Chiefs.
The Chiefs rested several of their defensive starters, but this was still an impressive performance for Sutton. He picked up nearly half of his yardage on a 47-yard catch midway through the first quarter, and he capped off the same drive with a 10-yard reception in the end zone two plays later. With the showing, he topped 1,000 receiving yards in a season for the first time since 2019 and will remain a key part of the Denver offense in a wild-card round matchup against the Bills.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Sutton had a big game against the Chiefs in Week 10 with six catches for 70 yards and a touchdown on nine targets, and he should do well in the rematch in Week 18. Kansas City is expected to rest several starters on defense, and Sutton has scored at least 14.8 PPR points in seven of his past nine games. He has top-15 upside in the majority of leagues.
