Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton had an impressive outing in the win versus the Eagles on Sunday. While leading the team in targets, catches, and receiving yards, Sutton showed some dominant contested catches to help out the offense. Outside of his week 2 dud, Sutton has posted fringe WR1 numbers in every other week. The developments of the rest of the receiver room should only help Sutton elevate his game as teams are forced to pay attention to more than one receiver. Broncos quarterback Bo Nix and head coach Sean Payton clearly trust Sutton the most in crucial moments, which should secure Sutton as a high-upside WR2 going forward.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has produced well in all but one game this season and faces Cooper DeJean and the Philadelphia Eagles defense this week. The Eagles are a middle-tier unit (15th vs the pass), and Sutton should remain a key target for second-year quarterback Bo Nix. In four games, they've combined for an 18-266-3 line on 27 targets, with Sutton's only poor outing coming in Week 2 (one catch for six yards). Sutton should be likely to earn some more targets in the red zone this week, with Philadelphia having a strong run defense. Start Sutton as a high-upside WR2 in what could be a defensive contest.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton recorded five catches for 81 yards and a touchdown on six targets in his team's 28-3 Week 4 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The 29-year-old has now recorded a touchdown catch in three out of Denver's first four games of the season. All told, Sutton has 18 catches for 266 yards and three scores on 27 targets so far in 2025. The Broncos have several offensive weapons for quarterback Bo Nix to spread the ball around to, but Sutton is the clear number one option in the passing game. As long as he stays healthy, Sutton profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton is coming off a six-catch, 118-yard, one-touchdown effort in the Week 3 loss to the Chargers. He currently leads the team in receiving yards (185), receiving touchdowns (two), and targets (21). Although some believed Troy Franklin was making his case to become the top wideout on the depth chart after catching eight passes for 89 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 versus the Colts, he fizzled against Los Angeles. With that in mind, Sutton should remain quarterback Bo Nix's go-to receiving option, even with Evan Engram (back) expected to return for the Monday night meeting with the Bengals. While Sutton will presumably have some off weeks moving forward, especially with Nix having production issues, he can continue to be viewed as a starting option in any fantasy format in Week 4.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton bounced back from an underwhelming outing in Week 2 with a huge game in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Sutton hauled in six of eight targets for 118 yards and a touchdown. If there were any questions about Sutton's status as the clear WR1 in Denver, those should be put to rest. The 29-year-old has now recorded 13 catches for 185 yards and two touchdowns through the first three weeks of 2025. Sutton profiles as a low-end fantasy WR2 heading into a favorable Week 4 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton looked good enough in Week 1 against the Titans, pulling in six of his nine targets for 61 yards and a touchdown. However, he cooled off in the Week 2 loss to the Colts, amassing only one grab for six yards. With the Broncos sitting at 1-1, Denver will next meet the Chargers in an AFC West clash. Without question, the Los Angeles defense has played well so far throughout the 2025 campaign. That trend might continue on Sunday. While it appears Troy Franklin is currently Bo Nix's preferred target in the first two weeks, Sutton is expected to remain involved at a consistent level moving forward. With that said, managers can give the 29-year-old a free pass for his previous performance and view him as a starting fantasy option in Week 3, especially with Evan Engram (back) ruled out.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton should continue to be viewed as a solid WR2 in all formats heading into a Week 2 tilt against the Indianapolis Colts. Despite the Denver offense struggling to find its footing in Week 1, Sutton enjoyed a productive afternoon. The veteran wideout caught six of his nine targets for 61 yards and a score. His touchdown came on a 22-yard pass from quarterback Bo Nix. Even though Nix showed some growing pains in this contest, his top wideout was still given a high target share and was able to produce. Last season, Sutton was one of the most productive wideouts during the second half, averaging a stellar 18.2 PPR points per game over his final 10 games. Even if Nix continues to struggle, Sutton's high target share gives him a safe WR2 projection in this contest. He is worth starting in all formats this weekend.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton recorded six catches for 61 yards and a touchdown in his team's 20-12 Week 1 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Sutton led Denver in targets with nine and looked like the clear number one option for Broncos quarterback Bo Nix. If there's cause for concern for Sutton going forward, it's that Nix did not play well in Week 1. The second-year quarterback averaged just 4.4 yards per pass attempt and threw two picks on Sunday. Still, Sutton put up a solid fantasy day nonetheless and should be considered a fantasy WR2.

There's no denying that Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton had a great year in 2024 as rookie quarterback Bo Nix's go-to target, and it led to Sutton's second career 1,000-yard performance while grabbing a career-best 81 passes and scoring eight touchdowns. He was the WR20 in fantasy points per game once things started clicking for Nix and has now found the end zone 18 times in the last two seasons. The 29-year-old should be a weekly WR2 consideration, but with the additions of running backs J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey, tight end Evan Engram and receiver Pat Bryant, Sutton figures to have more competition in terms of target share. And in Week 1 against the Titans -- a team that allowed the fewest half-PPR points per game to WRs in 2024 -- Sutton could disappoint out of the gates, especially if he's shadowed by cornerback L'Jarius Sneed.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton delivered a strong performance in Saturday's 28-19 preseason win over the New Orleans Saints, hauling in four receptions for 83 yards and a touchdown. Sutton has consistently been drafted in the fifth to sixth round range of fantasy leagues and remains the clear WR1 in Denver's offense. With second-year quarterback Bo Nix showing steady development, Sutton is positioned to thrive as the focal point of the passing game. Playing in the high-scoring AFC West, Sutton profiles as a reliable mid-round option with upside as a weekly fantasy starter in 2025.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton and the rest of the team's first-team offense was quiet in the 30-9 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday in the preseason opener. Quarterback Bo Nix spread the ball around but looked rusty overall during the first quarter of play. Sutton connected with Nix on one of his three targets for a gain of only two yards. The 29-year-old had his second 1,000-yard campaign in 2024 in Nix's first season, leading to the Broncos signing him to a four-year extension last month. Sutton was Nix's clear top target in the passing game last year in head coach Sean Payton's offense, and that should continue to be the case in 2025, even after the team added tight end Evan Engram in free agency. Consider him a low-end WR2 in fantasy this fall. Sutton and the rest of the first-team offense will look to bounce back next weekend against Arizona.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton looks "even better" in camp this season, according to Zac Stevens of The DNVR.com. Broncos offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi noted that Sutton "has been having a really good camp" and that "he looks to me even better than he did last camp." This is an excellent sign for the 29-year-old wideout as he enjoyed a career season in 2024 with rookie Bo Nix under center. After a slow start through the first seven games, where he averaged a modest 39.6 yards per game, Sutton became a league-winner down the stretch. From Weeks 8 through 18 (final 10 games), Sutton averaged a stellar 18.2 PPR points per game with 80.4 receiving yards per game and six total touchdowns. Fantasy managers should continue to view Sutton as a WR2 with upside as he enters the 2025 campaign as the clear top target for Nix.
Aug 6, 2025 9:17 AM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has agreed to a four-year, $92 million contract extension that will keep him with the team through the 2029 season. Sutton had been slated to become a free agent after the season, but he's staying in place after establishing a rapport with young quarterback Bo Nix in 2024. Sutton, 29, appeared in all of Denver's regular-season games last year and tallied career-high marks in catches (81) and targets (135). He also scored eight touchdowns and racked up 1,000-plus yards (1,081) for the second time in his first seven seasons in the NFL. The former second-round pick out of SMU remains atop the Denver receiver depth chart and should continue to get plenty of looks from Nix in the second year of the signal-caller's career. Sutton will enter the season as RotoBaller's 20th-ranked receiver.

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton says the team is "close" on a new contract for wide receiver Courtland Sutton, according to Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sport. Lombardi notes that Sutton did not participate in several drills during the team's practice on Monday. Sutton will turn 30 in October and is entering the final year of his current deal. In 17 games last season, he recorded 81 catches for 1,081 yards and eight touchdowns, emerging as the clear favorite target of quarterback Bo Nix. Sutton is an integral piece of Denver's offense, so it makes sense that the team would want to eliminate any possible contract-related tension with him before the season starts. He profiles as a back-end WR2 in full-PPR fantasy leagues.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton said over the weekend that he thinks his representation and the team are "moving in the right direction" regarding a long-term contract extension this offseason. "I'm open and optimistic about the fact that I'll be able to be here for the rest of my career," Sutton said. Last year, both sides were in a stalemate in terms of an extension, and Sutton skipped all of the team's voluntary offseason program as a result. Eventually, Denver added incentives to the 29-year-old's contract to appease him. It paid off, as he caught 81 passes for 1,081 yards and eight touchdowns as rookie quarterback Bo Nix's go-to target. Sutton is entering the final year of a four-year, $60.1 million extension he signed in November of 2021. He's excited about where he and Nix can go from here after making the postseason last year. After his big season, Sutton will be drafted as at least a low-end WR1.
Apr 15, 2025 1:20 PM EST
Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton notes that there is "no timeline" on a new deal for veteran wide receiver Courtland Sutton. The 29-year-old will still be at the team's offseason program. Broncos general manager George Paton reported that any contract extension talks would occur after the draft. Sutton is entering the final year of a four-year contract and carries a cap hit of $20.2 million. He performed well last year with the expedited ascension of rookie QB Bo Nix, capping 1,000 yards (1,081) for the first time since 2019 and notching the highest reception total of his career (81). Whether the SMU alum will be as effective another year older in 2025 remains to be seen -- particularly for a player who doesn't get much separation. Still, Denver hasn't added much in terms of offensive weaponry besides tight end Evan Engram in free agency. Sutton should again be Nix's primary target, barring a big move in the draft.
Mar 31, 2025 4:01 PM EST
Denver Broncos general manager George Paton said at the NFL Combine on Tuesday that he wants wide receiver Courtland Sutton to stick around Denver and that he will talk to Sutton's agent this week in Indianapolis about a potential contract extension. Sutton voiced displeasure about his contract last offseason, and the Broncos added some incentives to appease him. However, the 29-year-old is surely going to want an upgraded contract this offseason after recording the second 1,000-yard receiving season of his career as rookie quarterback Bo Nix's go-to target in the passing game in 2024. In addition to his 1,081 yards, Sutton caught 81 of his career-high 135 targets and scored eight times, making him a top-15 fantasy wideout. Sutton has 18 touchdowns the last two years and should be treated as a low-end WR1/high-end WR2 heading into 2025 fantasy drafts.
Feb 25, 2025 8:25 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton made it clear last offseason that he was unhappy with the structure of his contract, which at the time had two years left with little guaranteed money. Sutton and the Broncos eventually revised his contract to add $1.7 million in incentives for 2024, ultimately reaching most of them after posting his second 1,000-yard campaign with a career-high 81 catches and eight touchdowns. The 29-year-old is now entering the final year of his contract and has no guaranteed money remaining. He's due $14 million in 2025, which would make him the 24th highest-paid receiver in the NFL. However, he's solid 2024 season suggests he deserves more after ranking 17th among wideouts in catches, 13th in receiving yards (1,081) and tied for 12th in TDs. The Athletic's Nick Kosmider writes it's probably safe to assume Sutton doesn't intend to play 2025 as his contract is currently structured.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton brought in a team-high five receptions for 75 yards on nine targets during their loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon. Sutton's nine targets were also the most on the team. The veteran wideout was Bo Nix's go-to option all afternoon. His longest reception went for 21 yards. Despite their tough loss, Sutton enjoyed a productive afternoon. The 29-year-old enjoyed a nice bounce-back season as he tallied over 1,000 yards for just the second time in his career and the first time since 2019. Across 17 games, Sutton tallied 1,081 yards with eight touchdowns. Sutton was very productive over the final six games of the regular season, averaging an impressive 17.8 PPR points per game over this stretch.
