Courtland Sutton an Undervalued Dynasty Depth Piece

Saturday, June 6, 5:26 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has finished as the WR13 or better in back-to-back seasons, proving himself a capable fantasy difference-maker and a favorite target of quarterback Bo Nix, particularly in the red zone. With the Broncos spending up to acquire Jaylen Waddle via trade, and Sutton now on the wrong side of 30, the ninth-year veteran has fallen woefully out of favor with the dynasty community, now sitting at WR48 in RotoBaller's latest rankings. The Broncos offense has found success by spreading the ball around, with Troy Franklin and Evan Engram combining for more than 170 targets in 2025, meaning it's entirely possible for Waddle to step in and lead the receiver room, while others further down the depth chart feel his impact more strongly. Sutton's ceiling has certainly been lowered, but in topping either 1,000 yards or double-digit touchdowns in each of the past three seasons, he's proven he can score points in a variety of ways, and at his lowest cost in years, he can still serve as a quality depth piece on a contending dynasty roster.

Michael Pittman Jr. News

Michael Pittman Jr.'s Dynasty Outlook Clouded by Long-Term Quarterback Uncertainty in Pittsburgh

Saturday, June 6, 12:40 PM

After spending the first six seasons of his NFL career with the Indianapolis Colts, wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers in March. Across 17 games with the Colts in 2025, Pittman Jr. recorded 80 receptions for 784 yards and seven touchdowns on 111 targets. While the 28-year-old has never been the most explosive downfield threat, he's made his bones as a possession receiver who can consistently win in the short and intermediate areas of the field. That may make him a perfect fit with Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who prefers to get the ball out of his hands as quickly as possible at this stage of his career. Still, Pittman Jr.'s production has generally been declining since his highest-usage year in 2023, when he hauled in 109 catches for 1,152 yards on 156 targets. He also faces target competition in Pittsburgh from veteran wideout DK Metcalf and rookie wide receivers Germie Bernard and Kaden Wetjen. In dynasty formats, managers may want to look to sell high on Pittman Jr.
