Courtland Sutton an Undervalued Dynasty Depth Piece

Saturday, June 6, 5:26 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has finished as the WR13 or better in back-to-back seasons, proving himself a capable fantasy difference-maker and a favorite target of quarterback Bo Nix, particularly in the red zone. With the Broncos spending up to acquire Jaylen Waddle via trade, and Sutton now on the wrong side of 30, the ninth-year veteran has fallen woefully out of favor with the dynasty community, now sitting at WR48 in RotoBaller's latest rankings. The Broncos offense has found success by spreading the ball around, with Troy Franklin and Evan Engram combining for more than 170 targets in 2025, meaning it's entirely possible for Waddle to step in and lead the receiver room, while others further down the depth chart feel his impact more strongly. Sutton's ceiling has certainly been lowered, but in topping either 1,000 yards or double-digit touchdowns in each of the past three seasons, he's proven he can score points in a variety of ways, and at his lowest cost in years, he can still serve as a quality depth piece on a contending dynasty roster.

Darius Slayton News

Will Darius Slayton Be Phased Out of New-Look Giants Offense?

Sunday, June 7, 5:50 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton is slated to miss the entirety of the team's spring offseason program after undergoing surgery for a core-muscle injury in late April, but he is expected back for the start of training camp in what will likely be late July. When he does return to practice, the receiver room will look much different than the one he last occupied, with the Giants spending a 2026 third-round pick on Malachi Fields before doling out low-money contracts to Odell Beckham Jr., JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Braxton Berrios, to go along with the earlier free agent signings of Darnell Mooney and Calvin Austin III. While the depth chart could shake out in any number of ways, none of them particularly attractive for fantasy, the biggest question mark pertaining to the Giants receiver room is the health of 2024 first-round pick Malik Nabers, who continues to work his way back from the complicated knee injury that ended his sophomore campaign. With Nabers shelved for most of the year, Slayton finished second on the team with 538 receiving yards, but even with the Giants' leading receiver, Wan'Dale Robinson, departing in free agency, the situation has become far less conducive to fantasy success for the 29-year-old veteran. After a WR64 finish in 2025, Slayton has fallen to RotoBaller's dynasty WR136.
