Who Should I Start? Courtland Sutton or George Pickens

Sunday, September 24, 8:53 PM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton led the team in catches (eight), targets (11) and receiving yards (91) while hauling in his second touchdown of the season in the 70-20 embarrassing loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday in Week 3. It wasn't all good for Sutton, though, as he also lost two fumbles as the Broncos fell to 0-3 on the season. The 27-year-old has been a strong high-ceiling WR4/flex for fantasy managers through the first three weeks of the year as quarterback Russell Wilson's go-to target in the passing game. Wilson has also gone for over 300 yards passing in back-to-back game, so there's optimism that Sutton can maintain fantasy relevance all year as long as he stays healthy. Fantasy managers will want to keep him in their starting lineups next week for a matchup against the winless Chicago Bears and their porous defense.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens recorded four receptions for 75 yards on six targets in a 23-18 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. Although Pickens didn't repeat the dominant performance he had in Week 2, the 22-year-old still tied for the team lead in targets and led all Steelers in receiving yards. With Kenny Pickett looking much improved on Sunday night, there is reason to believe that Pickens can continue to post solid fantasy production going forward. With Diontae Johnson (hamstring) out for at least the next two games, Pickens should be viewed as a quality WR3 or flex option.
