Who Should I Start? Courtland Sutton or Jayden Reed

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton should continue to be viewed as a solid WR2 in all formats heading into a Week 2 tilt against the Indianapolis Colts. Despite the Denver offense struggling to find its footing in Week 1, Sutton enjoyed a productive afternoon. The veteran wideout caught six of his nine targets for 61 yards and a score. His touchdown came on a 22-yard pass from quarterback Bo Nix. Even though Nix showed some growing pains in this contest, his top wideout was still given a high target share and was able to produce. Last season, Sutton was one of the most productive wideouts during the second half, averaging a stellar 18.2 PPR points per game over his final 10 games. Even if Nix continues to struggle, Sutton's high target share gives him a safe WR2 projection in this contest. He is worth starting in all formats this weekend.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (collarbone) is scheduled for surgery early next week. The hope is that he will be able to return this season, with the team looking at November as a possible timeline. Reed broke his collarbone making a touchdown grab on a play that was negated by a holding penalty. The play came on the Packers' opening drive and was Reed's first look in a game that ultimately saw seven other Green Bay pass catchers targeted. On a day that saw Jordan Love throw for nearly 300 yards and two scores, only tight end Tucker Kraft looked like a reliable option moving forward, with Romeo Doubs' fantasy day kept afloat by an early touchdown. With Reed now sidelined until at least mid-season, the silver lining could be added clarity amongst the Packers' pass catchers, but until rookie Matthew Golden can demonstrate an established chemistry with Love, Kraft will remain the only weekly start.
