Courtland Sutton News
Saturday, October 3, 9:56 AM
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has yet to get much going through the first three weeks. He has eight catches for 82 yards on 16 targets without a touchdown, although Week 3 brought at least a little progress. Sutton drew a season-high seven targets against the Rams and finished with three catches for 46 yards, both his best marks of the year. The bigger issue is where he now fits in Denver's passing game. Jaylen Waddle has already had a 10-target, 138-yard game, and Sutton is no longer operating as the clear top option he was in recent seasons. Denver also has been more balanced offensively under new play-caller Davis Webb. Sutton is healthy entering Sunday's trip to San Francisco, but RotoBaller has him at WR41 for Week 4. The seven targets last week keep him in the flex conversation, though fantasy managers should not treat him as an automatic starter until the production becomes more consistent.

George Pickens News
Friday, October 2, 10:08 PM
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens is fresh off his best game of the 2026 season, but it still feels like there's meat left on the bone for fantasy managers who drafted him in the second round of fantasy drafts. His eight catches for 82 yards against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3 constituted his best game of the season, but he hasn't reached the end zone yet and ranks outside the top-30 fantasy football wide receivers through three games. It's been a far cry from his WR5 overall finish in 2025, in which he eclipsed 25 PPR fantasy points on five separate occasions. A tough matchup with the Houston Texans on the road lies ahead -- they have one of the best pass defense in the NFL in recent times. Pickens matches up well against all but the best cornerbacks in the NFL, and having wide receiver CeeDee Lamb to draw away coverage helps immensely, but he's just a mid-range WR2 with upside for this matchup. He should be started in all leagues anyway, as he's been targeted at a high enough rate that an explosion game feels imminent.
