Who Should I Start? Courtland Sutton or Puka Nacua

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.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is immediately back in must-start territory as he returns from an ankle injury ahead of Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints. Nacua ranked as the overall WR1 entering Week 6, but he injured his ankle in that contest, missed Week 7, and was on bye last week. As a result, he has slipped down to the WR5 spot in PPR leagues. Despite the hiccup, Nacua should have no trouble bouncing back as one of the best receivers in fantasy football. His production when healthy was otherworldly, and he should quickly return to that level of play now that he's cleared to suit up. A clash with the Saints bodes well for Nacua, as New Orleans has allowed the ninth-most receiving touchdowns in 2025. He's a must-start WR1 in all leagues.
