Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton brought in 5-of-9 targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 30-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He was targeted just twice in the first half -- converting one for a gain of seven yards. However, the 29-year-old was much more involved after halftime. He'd haul in a six-yard TD on the Broncos' first possession of the third quarter and was targeted three times on their final drive of regulation (2/29) as they marched down the field to send it to OT. Sutton has seen his reception and yardage output scale back over the last three weeks, but he's still grabbed two scores and remains heavily involved as rookie quarterback Bo Nix's preferred option (24 targets). He and the Broncos will line up against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 18 with a spot in the playoffs on the line.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton will look to get back into the end zone in Week 17 when the team travels to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals in a game with massive playoff implications on both sides. The Bengals defense has allowed 26.2 points per game (fifth-most in the league), but they've also allowed the fifth-fewest half-PPR points per game to opposing wideouts in the last five weeks. An ascending Broncos offense should be able to move the ball and put up points in this one. Sutton has played some of his best ball of the year of late, too, as he develops more chemistry with rookie QB Bo Nix. In the last five weeks, Sutton ranks as the WR15 in half-PPR points with 22 catches on 34 targets for 281 yards and three touchdowns. Sutton has also been a top-15 receiver this year in terms of targets (119), giving him WR1 upside if this game ends up being a shootout.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton had a modest performance in the team's 34-27 loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium on Thursday night in Week 16, catching five of his six targets for 50 yards. In a rare occurrence this year, Sutton didn't lead the team in targets or receiving yards. However, he was still one of rookie quarterback Bo Nix's favorite targets, as his six looks were second on the team behind running back Javonte Williams. The 29-year-old had a six-game streak of at least six receptions and 70 yards snapped in last week's win over the Colts, and his six targets on Thursday were his fewest since a zero-target game in Week 8 against the Saints. Sutton saved his fantasy day with a touchdown in Week 15, but he was unable to do so on Thursday night. Fantasy managers still playing for something in Week 17 will want Sutton in their lineups in a great matchup against Cincy.
Dec 20, 2024 12:42 AM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has been the WR12 with an average of 15.2 half-PPR points in the last five weeks thanks to 24 receptions on 36 targets for 309 yards and three touchdowns. Because of how often rookie QB Bo Nix targets Sutton -- his 113 targets on the year rank ninth among receivers -- he's become a must-start in fantasy lineups after the Broncos offense started the year off sluggish. He'll be facing a Los Angeles Chargers defense on Thursday night in Week 16 that has allowed the fifth-most half-PPR points per game to opposing pass-catchers in the last five weeks, including a league-high eight touchdowns allowed to receivers. In the first meeting with the Bolts on Oct. 13, Sutton caught four of six targets for 53 yards and a touchdown. Sutton has a pretty safe fantasy floor at this point and is on the WR1/2 borderline this week.
Dec 18, 2024 8:22 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton was quiet by his recent standards in the team's 31-13 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday at Empower Field in Week 15. Sutton led the Broncos in targets yet again with nine, but he only hauled in three catches for team-high 32 yards. However, a 20-yard touchdown reception late in the fourth quarter to put the game away salvaged his line for fantasy managers. Quarterback Bo Nix struggled to get going in this one for the first time in a while and finished with only 130 total passing yards. Sunday's outing was Sutton's first with under 70 receiving yards since his zero-target performance in the Week 7 win over the Saints. Fantasy managers can't really complain. Sutton has seen at least eight targets in seven straight games and should remain a must-start with a high target share in a big divisional clash against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 16 on Thursday night.
Dec 16, 2024 12:27 AM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton had a slow start to the season as rookie quarterback Bo Nix got acclimated to the NFL, but the veteran wideout has come on strong since a zero-target Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints and has ascended to must-start status in fantasy entering a pivotal Week 15 contest in Denver against the Indianapolis Colts. Since Week 8, Sutton has gone on a tear, catching 42 of 57 targets for 569 yards and three touchdowns. The 29-year-old is tied as the WR12 in overall half-PPR points in 2024, but in the last five weeks, he's been the WR9. He hit the century mark in receiving yards for the third time in last week's win over the Browns and scored twice the previous week. Indy's defense has been stingy against opposing wideouts in their last four games, allowing the fourth-fewest PPR points per game to the position, but Sutton's high target share in Denver gives him a safe floor.
Dec 13, 2024 7:54 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton didn't lead the team in receiving in the 41-32 shootout win over the Cleveland Browns on Monday night at Empower Field, but he still went off for fantasy managers by catching six of his nine targets for 102 receiving yards. Sutton came three yards short of the team lead on the night, but he did lead the team in both targets and receptions as he continues to be rookie quarterback Bo Nix's favorite aerial target. The 29-year-old had a big drop earlier in the game that would have gone for a big gain to make his night even better. Heading into the bye, Sutton is as hot as any receiver in the NFL, going for 100-plus receiving yards in three of the last six weeks. He will face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15, where he should be considered a top-15 fantasy wideout with the emergence of Nix under center in Denver.
Dec 3, 2024 12:52 AM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has gone from being a touchdown-dependent WR4/flex this year to being a top-15 pass-catching option for fantasy managers heading into a Monday night primetime showdown against the Cleveland Browns in Week 13. Thanks to 36 receptions (48 targets) for 467 yards and three touchdowns, Sutton is tied with Cooper Kupp for second in football (behind only Ja'Marr Chase) in half-PPR points in the last five games. The 29-year-old finished three yards shy of his third 100-yard game in last week's win over the Raiders and also scored twice. Sutton suddenly has become a must-start for fantasy managers as improving rookie quarterback Bo Nix's go-to target in the passing game. He has at least eight targets in the last five weeks and ranks sixth among all WRs with 95 targets. Start Sutton against a Browns defense that allows the seventh-most fantasy points to WRs.
Nov 30, 2024 9:53 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton's chemistry with rookie quarterback Bo Nix peaked in the Week 12 win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders, when he set team highs in targets (10), receptions (eight) and receiving yards (97) while also scoring two touchdowns in the 29-19 win at Allegiant Stadium. Both of Sutton's TD receptions were nifty grabs in the end zone. The 29-year-old pass-catcher is now up to five touchdowns on the year and has three in the last three weeks. As Nix's efficiency and confidence as a passer has improved in his rookie year, Sutton's fantasy value has seen a boost into the WR2 tier. Since a Week 7 donut with zero targets, he has at least 70 receiving yards and a touchdown. Although the Week 13 matchup against the Cleveland Browns isn't the best for fantasy purposes, Sutton should be considered a must-start as he looks to continue his hot stretch.
Nov 25, 2024 12:04 AM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton comes into the Week 12 divisional contest against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders having produced at least six catches and 70 yards in each of the last four games. Since a zero-target game in Week 7 versus the New Orleans Saints, Sutton has 28 receptions on 38 targets for 370 yards and a touchdown while also throwing for a touchdown. The Raiders defense hasn't been that bad against opposing wideouts this year in terms of fantasy points allowed, but they'll be without cornerbacks Jakorian Bennett (shoulder) and Nate Hobbs (ankle) this weekend, and possibly Jack Jones (back). Sutton was held to only two catches for 32 yards in the Week 5 win over the Raiders in Denver, but we'd expect better production this time around with Denver's offense surging. In the last five weeks, Sutton has averaged 14.3 half-PPR points, good for 10th among all receivers.
Nov 22, 2024 11:30 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton had another highly productive day in the 38-6 blowout win over the visiting Atlanta Falcons in Week 11 on Sunday, setting team-highs in receptions (seven), targets (eight) and receiving yards (78). With Denver's offense improving greatly under the leadership of rookie quarterback Bo Nix after a slow start in 2024, Sutton has slowly risen up the receiver ranks in fantasy. The 29-year-old didn't have a single target in Week 7 against the Saints, but since then, he has 28 receptions for 370 yards and one touchdown on 38 targets. Sutton has only caught three TD passes in 11 games after going for a career-high 10 TDs in 2023, but because of the heavy volume as Nix's favorite aerial weapon, he is ascending to weekly WR2 territory. He'll have a great chance to continue his run in Week 12 against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders.
Nov 18, 2024 12:34 AM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton is on a heater over his last three games heading into a Week 11 matchup against the visiting Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Sutton was not targeted in a Week 7 win over the New Orleans Saints, but since then, he has caught 21 of his 30 targets for 292 yards and a touchdown in three games against the Panthers, Ravens and Chiefs. The 29-year-old has only three touchdowns through 10 weeks in 2024 after catching a career-high 10 TD passes last year, but his fantasy stock is on the rise with WR2 upside this weekend against a Falcons secondary that has surrendered the ninth-most half-PPR fantasy points per game to pass-catchers. Sutton averages 10.7 half-PPR points (tied for 29th among wideouts) but also ranks ninth with 77 targets, giving him a solid fantasy floor with plenty of volume as Denver's unquestioned WR1.
Nov 15, 2024 11:44 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton had his third straight strong game for the team in the 16-14 loss on Sunday to the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs in Week 10. Sutton snapped his two-game streak with 100-plus receiving yards, but he still put forth an impressive game for his fantasy managers with a team-high six receptions on a team-high nine targets for a team-leading 70 receiving yards and his third touchdown of the year. The 29-year-old's touchdown grab came on a 32-yard pass that put the Broncos up 14-3 at the time in the second quarter. The Broncos have been involving Sutton much more ever since his zero-catch game in the Week 7 win over the Saints. That should continue next Sunday versus the Atlanta Falcons, where fantasy managers should consider Sutton a high-volume WR3/flex option.
Nov 11, 2024 12:20 AM EST
Although he hasn't found the end zone as a pass-catcher, Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has had his best two games of the season in the last two weeks, combining for 15 catches (21 targets) for 222 yards while also throwing a touchdown pass to quarterback Bo Nix on a trick play last week. He's seen double-digit targets the last two weeks for the first time since Week 3 and only the fourth time in 2024. The 29-year-old ranks 11th among all wideouts with 68 targets but is tied for 19th with 36 receptions and averages 10 half-PPR fantasy points per game -- tied with Nick Westbrook-Ikhine for 36th. It might be difficult for Sutton to extend his streak of 100-yard games to three in Week 10 against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, a team allowing the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game to receivers. Sutton should be considered a WR3/flex in fantasy this Sunday on the road.
Nov 8, 2024 8:37 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton delivered for fantasy managers in his second straight strong matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in the 41-10 loss in Week 9 on Sunday. Sutton had team-highs in catches (seven), targets (10) and receiving yards (122) while also completing a two-yard touchdown pass to rookie QB Bo Nix on a trick play at the goal line early in the first quarter. He benefitted from the Broncos in catch-up mode all day and recorded his second straight 100-yard game. The 29-year-old is definitely on a roll right now and is Nix's clear top target in the passing game, but Sutton still has bust potential as a WR3/flex heading into a Week 9 matchup on the road against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. Sutton has only two TDs through nine weeks after scoring a career-best 10 in 2023. He'll be looking to score for the first time since Week 6.
Nov 4, 2024 12:08 AM EST
Can Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton stack back-to-back big games in Week 9 against the Baltimore Ravens after catching a season-high eight of 11 targets for a season-high 100 receiving yards in last Sunday's 28-14 victory over the Carolina Panthers? We think so. He'll be a strong WR3/flex option for fantasy managers this Sunday against a Ravens defense that has allowed the second-most half-PPR fantasy points to receivers per game this year and the most passing yards per game. The 29-year-old got the squeaky-wheel treatment after not seeing a single target in the Week 7 win over the New Orleans Saints. With quarterback Bo Nix playing the best football of his first NFL season, look for him to target Sutton early and often against a shaky Ravens secondary in a game in which the Broncos may need to open it up through the air to keep up on the scoreboard.
Nov 2, 2024 5:07 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton reeled in 8-of-11 targets for 100 yards in Week 8's 28-14 domination of the Carolina Panthers. He added 28 passing yards on his only attempt and lost a fumble in the outing. It was an excellent bounce-back effort for the 29-year-old after posting a goose egg in last week's win over the New Orleans Saints. It's the first time this season that the seventh-year veteran posted a 100-yard performance and the third time he's garnered double-digit targets. His eight receptions were a new season high. Sutton's production has greatly varied through eight games, putting up useful fantasy totals half the time while the other half not so much. Still, he's the clear No. 1 option in Denver's passing attack. He and the Broncos will square off against the Baltimore Ravens next Sunday in a much tougher matchup.
Oct 27, 2024 8:15 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton gets one of the better matchups this Sunday when his team squares off against the Carolina Panthers. The SMU alum goose-egg'd fantasy managers last Thursday night in Denver's 33-10 route of the New Orleans Saints. Though, cornerback Marshon Lattimore may have played a large part in that. This week, however, he'll get a much softer matchup against one of the worst defensive units in the league. Carolina allows the most pass yards per play to opposing offenses (7.6) and has turned opponents over just six times this year -- thrice through the air. It's possible Denver leads with a run-heavy game plan, mainly if second-year Panthers QB Bryce Young can't make it a contest. Still, this matchup is as good as any to start the 29-year-old. Sutton is RotoBaller's PPR WR35 ahead of Sunday's outing.
Oct 26, 2024 1:32 PM EST
After catching four passes for 53 yards and his second touchdown of the season in the Week 6 loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers, Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton looked primed for another big week on Thursday night in primetime against the fading New Orleans Saints defense. That didn't end up being the case, as Sutton gave his fantasy managers a donut while not being targeted at all by rookie quarterback Bo Nix in the 33-10 blowout win. It was a very surprising performance by Denver's most targeted receiver, especially in a game in which Denver put up 30-plus points. Head coach Sean Payton explained at halftime that Sutton's lack of involvement was the product of the Saints D playing mostly zone coverage, forcing Nix to go elsewhere. It was a week-losing performance no doubt for Sutton's fantasy managers, but he should bounce back in Week 8 against the Panthers.
Oct 18, 2024 12:43 AM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton is outside the top-50 receivers in terms of average fantasy points per game through six weeks, but he could return some nice value in a Week 7 Thursday night matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Sutton scored his second touchdown of the season in the Week 6 loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers and was able to go over 50 receiving yards for the third time this year and third time in the last four games. Although his overall production doesn't jump off the page, Sutton is tied with D.J. Moore for 13th among all wideouts with 47 targets. The 29-year-old is Denver's clear top receiving target, and he seems to be gaining some chemistry with rookie QB Bo Nix. Against a Saints defense that has allowed the sixth-most half-PPR points per game to opposing wideouts in the last three weeks, Sutton is a WR4/flex with upside for more on Thursday night.
