Who Should I Start? Courtland Sutton or George Pickens

Saturday, January 17, 3:39 PM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton, making his 2026 playoff debut on Saturday, will face a Bills defensive unit missing three of their starters, including Jordan Poyer and Maxwell Hairston in the secondary. A similarly banged-up Buffalo defense saw Jacksonville wide receiver Parker Washington put up 107 yards and a touchdown in a back-and-forth Wild Card matchup, and Sutton could be in line for a strong showing of his own. Sutton led his team in receptions, yards, and touchdowns, with four of his seven scores coming against teams in the 2026 playoff field. He is RotoBaller's WR4 for the week, but his ceiling is as high as nearly any receiver in the Divisional Round.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens rebounded last week against the Chargers after a two-game lull entering Week 16. Pickens racked up seven catches for 130 yards and a touchdown on nine targets in Week 16, marking his fifth game with at least 130 receiving yards, tied with Puka Nacua for the most in the league. It's been a tremendous first season in Dallas for the former Pittsburgh Steeler, ranking as the WR4 in PPR points. He gets another opportunity to add to his career highs in various receiving stats on Christmas Day against a porous Washington Commanders defense that has allowed the sixth most PPR points per game to wide receivers. Pickens should be fired up again as a borderline WR1 in Week 17.
