Who Should I Start? Courtland Sutton or Michael Pittman Jr.

Saturday, October 11, 8:36 AM

Although Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton will face star cornerback Sauce Gardner and the New York Jets defense, he will likely lead the team in targets as they take the field in London. Sutton has been a consistent player this season, outside of a Week 2 dud, in which Troy Franklin had a breakout game. With averages of 13.5 half-ppr ppg and 16.1 full-ppr ppg coming into Week 6, Sutton is likely the only fully reliable option within the Broncos' core against a defense that typically gets exploited by the run game more than the pass. Fantasy managers should keep him in their lineups as a WR2 with upside, as Sutton comes in as WR15 in the latest RotoBaller rankings for Week 6.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. turned in a slow day at the office in a 31-27 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6, catching just two of his three targets for 20 yards as the team leaned on Josh Downs (concussion) in the passing attack. Pittman has a chance to bounce back on the road in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Chargers as Downs has been ruled out with a concussion. The Chargers have been excellent against receivers in fantasy this season as they are allowing just the 30th-most fantasy points per game to the position through six games. With four touchdowns already in six games, Pittman is safe to deploy as a low-end WR2 in fantasy in Week 7 despite the difficult matchup.
