Who Should I Start? Courtland Sutton or Christian Watson

Saturday, October 11, 8:36 AM

Although Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton will face star cornerback Sauce Gardner and the New York Jets defense, he will likely lead the team in targets as they take the field in London. Sutton has been a consistent player this season, outside of a Week 2 dud, in which Troy Franklin had a breakout game. With averages of 13.5 half-ppr ppg and 16.1 full-ppr ppg coming into Week 6, Sutton is likely the only fully reliable option within the Broncos' core against a defense that typically gets exploited by the run game more than the pass. Fantasy managers should keep him in their lineups as a WR2 with upside, as Sutton comes in as WR15 in the latest RotoBaller rankings for Week 6.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) is officially active for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. Watson is making his NFL debut after spending the first seven weeks on injured reserve. The 26-year-old continues to be plagued by injuries as he gets ready to kick off his fourth season. The Packers have played 57 games since drafting Watson, but he's only been active for two-thirds of them (38 games). Now healthy for the first time since tearing his ACL in Week 18 of the 2024 campaign, Watson will look to contribute right away. He should eventually carve out a prominent role alongside Romeo Doubs and Matthew Golden, but he may play on a snap count in his first game back. He's worth stashing in fantasy football, but it's too early to plug him into your starting lineups.
