Who Should I Start? Courtland Sutton or CeeDee Lamb

Sunday, August 10, 10:58 AM

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.

The Athletic's Jon Machota writes that Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has been the clear standout at this year's training camp. "Lamb has been all business on the field. It's been rare to see him drop a ball in individual or team drills. He's had one so far. And it bothers him. He came to California with a goal to 'catch everything,'" Machota writes. He goes on to say that the chemistry between Lamb and quarterback Dak Prescott "looks ready for Week 1." The Cowboys brought in George Pickens in the offseason, and Cowboys offensive coordinator Klayton Adams is trying to find the best way to utilize the strengths of both Lamb and Pickens. A little more of the spotlight could go to Pickens in 2025, but Lamb is still in a great spot at 26 and in the prime of his career. After four straight 1,000-yard seasons, Lamb is an easy top-five fantasy receiver.
