Who Should I Start? Courtland Sutton or George Pickens

Friday, November 22, 11:30 PM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton comes into the Week 12 divisional contest against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders having produced at least six catches and 70 yards in each of the last four games. Since a zero-target game in Week 7 versus the New Orleans Saints, Sutton has 28 receptions on 38 targets for 370 yards and a touchdown while also throwing for a touchdown. The Raiders defense hasn't been that bad against opposing wideouts this year in terms of fantasy points allowed, but they'll be without cornerbacks Jakorian Bennett (shoulder) and Nate Hobbs (ankle) this weekend, and possibly Jack Jones (back). Sutton was held to only two catches for 32 yards in the Week 5 win over the Raiders in Denver, but we'd expect better production this time around with Denver's offense surging. In the last five weeks, Sutton has averaged 14.3 half-PPR points, good for 10th among all receivers.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens came down with four of his seven targets for 48 yards in a 24-19 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Outside of a 31-yard deep ball he caught in the first quarter, it was a relatively quiet night for Pickens, who had four straight showings with over 70 yards heading into Thursday night. The weather conditions in Cleveland weren't ideal for big plays downfield and surely impacted Pickens' performance. While Pickens has been incredibly productive with yardage this season, his touchdown upside is limited in this Steelers offense that has struggled to find the end zone over the past two weeks. He'll look to get back on track against another divisional opponent in the Cincinnati Bengals next week.
