Should I Start Courtland Sutton?

Saturday, October 3, 9:56 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has yet to get much going through the first three weeks. He has eight catches for 82 yards on 16 targets without a touchdown, although Week 3 brought at least a little progress. Sutton drew a season-high seven targets against the Rams and finished with three catches for 46 yards, both his best marks of the year. The bigger issue is where he now fits in Denver's passing game. Jaylen Waddle has already had a 10-target, 138-yard game, and Sutton is no longer operating as the clear top option he was in recent seasons. Denver also has been more balanced offensively under new play-caller Davis Webb. Sutton is healthy entering Sunday's trip to San Francisco, but RotoBaller has him at WR41 for Week 4. The seven targets last week keep him in the flex conversation, though fantasy managers should not treat him as an automatic starter until the production becomes more consistent.
