Who Should I Start? Courtland Sutton or Justin Jefferson

Friday, September 29, 12:27 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has been a top-25 fantasy wideout through the first three weeks. It's a big shift since the end of the 2022 campaign, when he couldn't be trusted at all in lineups. Through three weeks, he's been Russell Wilson's go-to guy and has hauled in 17 of 23 targets for 189 yards and two touchdowns. Despite fumbling twice in the demolition in Week 3 by the Dolphins, Sutton had 19.1 half-PPR points. The 27-year-old former second-rounder early season play has vaulted him to WR3/flex status for fantasy managers with a high floor, especially heading into a juicy Week 4 matchup against the porous Chicago Bears defense. Jerry Jeudy will pull targets away from Sutton inevitably, but the two could co-exist in Sean Payton's offense as long as Wilson keeps humming.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson will look to keep up his strong start to the season in Week 4 against the Panthers, who have given up the ninth-fewest passing yards this season. Jefferson has logged games of 150, 159, and 149 receiving yards to start the 2023 campaign, as he has paced the entire NFL in receiving yardage to this point. He has just one touchdown up to this point which has put a cap on his production, but there is no reason to believe that he isn't capable of putting up better numbers in this department considering his talent level and role in the offense. Fantasy managers can once again treat the former LSU Tiger as one of the most valuable fantasy assets in Week 4.
