Courtland Sutton News
Friday, July 10, 4:37 PM
DenverBroncos.com's Susanna Weir suggests that Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton, who has logged back-to-back seasons with over 1,000 receiving yards, could "benefit from more one-on-one matchups after the offseason acquisition of receiver Jaylen Waddle. "Courtland is an elite playmaker, so anytime you have a playmaker on the other side of you, it just makes it easy," Waddle said. "It's someone that the defense has to be looking for, and vice versa." The 30-year-old former second-rounder in 2018 out of SMU was a Pro Bowler for the second time in 2025 after finishing with 74 receptions on 124 targets for 1,017 yards and seven touchdowns in 17 regular-season games. Sutton has three 1,000-yard campaigns in his career and has found the end zone 25 times in the last three years. But that was as Denver's clear alpha and No. 1 wideout. He could be more of the 1B to Waddle's 1A in 2026, and although the Broncos' offense was extremely pass-happy in 2025, that could be changing a bit in Sutton's ninth year in the league. Waddle's presence will certainly give Sutton more one-on-one looks on the outside, but the reality is that his fantasy stock is down with serious target competition coming. RotoBaller has Sutton ranked as a low-end WR3/high-end WR4.

Bhayshul Tuten News
Wednesday, July 15, 9:12 AM
Sports Illustrated's John Shipley writes that Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten's upside as a pass-catcher "gives him the narrow edge" over newcomer Chris Rodriguez Jr. "All signs point to this being a timeshare backfield" now that Travis Etienne Jr. is in New Orleans. Tuten flashed tons of explosive talent as a rookie, recording 307 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 83 rushing attempts while adding 10 receptions for 79 yards and another two scores in 15 regular-season games. The 23-year-old former fourth-rounder from Virginia Tech has also looked good during the offseason program, but the Jags signed Rodriguez for a reason, and his history with head coach Liam Coen "could serve him well as he battles for snaps." Shipley predicts that Tuten will "win" the RB1 job out of training camp, but it remains to be seen what the RB1 job in Duvall will look like in 2026. In addition to Rodriguez, second-year back LeQuint Allen Jr. figures to have a bigger role in the backfield, most likely as the team's go-to pass-catching RB. Tuten's fantasy ceiling could be capped in a pure committee backfield, but he's still the most attractive fantasy target in the Jaguars' backfield and should be considered a low-end RB2 with upside on draft day.
