Who Should I Start? Courtland Sutton or Nick Chubb

Saturday, September 13, 9:19 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton should continue to be viewed as a solid WR2 in all formats heading into a Week 2 tilt against the Indianapolis Colts. Despite the Denver offense struggling to find its footing in Week 1, Sutton enjoyed a productive afternoon. The veteran wideout caught six of his nine targets for 61 yards and a score. His touchdown came on a 22-yard pass from quarterback Bo Nix. Even though Nix showed some growing pains in this contest, his top wideout was still given a high target share and was able to produce. Last season, Sutton was one of the most productive wideouts during the second half, averaging a stellar 18.2 PPR points per game over his final 10 games. Even if Nix continues to struggle, Sutton's high target share gives him a safe WR2 projection in this contest. He is worth starting in all formats this weekend.

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb rushes for 43 yards on 12 carries and a touchdown while adding two receptions for 29 yards. Chubb started the game looking good with an explosive gain for 27 yards on a screen pass. He was mostly inefficient on the ground against a stingy Tampa Bay front with Vita Vea and company. Outside of his 25-yard touchdown run, Chubb rushed for only 18 yards on 11 of his other carries. The 29-year-old looks to be the main back in Houston with Joe Mixon out of the picture for the foreseeable future. He handled 12 of the 15 running back carries while playing 52% of the snaps. There may not be a ton of upside with Chubb moving forward with a poor offensive line and offensive environment, but Chubb is a freak athlete and a time great running back who could still have something left. He looks like he will continue to get volume, and if C.J. Stroud and the Texans offense can find a groove, then he could be valuable. For now, he'll project as a touchdown-dependent RB3.
