Courtland Sutton News
Sunday, September 13, 10:48 AM
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton is still usable Monday night against Kansas City, but he is no longer an automatic fantasy start. Sutton caught 74 passes for 1,017 yards and seven touchdowns last season, though Denver has since added Jaylen Waddle to a receiving room that also includes a rising Pat Bryant. That makes the target split harder to trust right away. Kansas City does not make things any easier. Sutton was held to four catches in both meetings with the Chiefs last season, finishing with 59 yards in one and 40 in the other without scoring. RotoBaller has Sutton at WR38 for Week 1 and lists him as a risky start for Monday night. There is still touchdown upside, and Sutton should remain involved near the goal line, but fantasy managers with another solid WR3 or flex option can leave him on the bench. He is more of a matchup-dependent flex than a receiver who needs to be forced into lineups.

Malik Nabers News
Monday, September 14, 6:34 AM
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers hauled in six of nine targets for 69 yards in the 28-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. After being a game-time decision entering Sunday night, Nabers was active and a key contributor despite a limited snap count in Week 1. He played just 36 of 69 snaps (52%) and slipped a few times on routes and after the catch. However, quarterback Jaxson Dart looked great in Week 1 and appears to be the best quarterback Nabers has had in his NFL career so far. With his snap share set to increase in the coming weeks and him being more comfortable following the injury, Nabers will be an elite option at the wide receiver position this season. They travel to face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2, where Nabers should be temporarily factored in as a mid-tier WR2 until he has his full complement of snaps.
