Who Should I Start? Courtland Sutton or George Pickens

Friday, November 7, 12:04 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton continues to take a backseat to counterpart Troy Franklin in Thursday's 10-7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Sutton was actually third in line for targets and total receiving yards on the night, ending with just three catches on four targets for 24 yards, and zero touchdowns. For the record, quarterback Bo Nix seemed to have a rough outing against the Raiders and only provided 150 passing yards and one touchdown on the night. He will continue to be on the field for most offensive plays and should have more opportunities when the offense is in a better rhythm. Sutton will look to rebound in a highly anticipated matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said on Tuesday that he is "very in favor" of the team signing wide receiver George Pickens to a long-term contract extension, per Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk. The Cowboys acquired Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers this past offseason but have not yet locked him into a contract beyond the 2025 season. Across 10 games in his first season in Dallas, the 24-year-old has recorded 58 catches for 908 yards and seven touchdowns on 83 targets. Pickens is on pace for career-high marks across the board and appears to be the perfect complement to star Cowboys wideout CeeDee Lamb. However, Pickens has a history of off-field issues and was benched for the first offensive series of Dallas' Week 11 win over the Las Vegas Raiders for reasons that remain unclear. Still, Schottenheimer has remained effusive in his praise of Pickens and is apparently on board with continuing to work with him in the years to come.
