Who Should I Start? Courtland Sutton or Emeka Egbuka

Friday, September 5, 12:51 AM

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.

Dan Graziano of ESPN says that he's drafting Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie wide receiver Emeka Egbuka "everywhere I can." Not only did Tampa fall in love with the former Ohio State star before taking him in the first round, but they've "grown to covet him even more since" and "believe he can play any of the wide receiver positions in their offense." In addition to all that, Chris Godwin (ankle) has yet to practice after dislocating his ankle in Week 7 of last year, and Jalen McMillan (neck) could miss around half the year. Graziano says to expect the Bucs to use Egbuka "in the slot and on the outside as needed." In a pass-happy offense, the 22-year-old pass-catcher could be targeted heavily early on behind WR1 Mike Evans. And the good news for those that took Egbuka in their drafts is that he should remain involved once Godwin and McMillan return, whenever that may be.
