Who Should I Start? Courtland Sutton or Rashee Rice

Monday, October 6, 6:17 PM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton had an impressive outing in the win versus the Eagles on Sunday. While leading the team in targets, catches, and receiving yards, Sutton showed some dominant contested catches to help out the offense. Outside of his week 2 dud, Sutton has posted fringe WR1 numbers in every other week. The developments of the rest of the receiver room should only help Sutton elevate his game as teams are forced to pay attention to more than one receiver. Broncos quarterback Bo Nix and head coach Sean Payton clearly trust Sutton the most in crucial moments, which should secure Sutton as a high-upside WR2 going forward.

The Kansas City Chiefs consider wide receiver Rashee Rice their clear No. 1 option and have not entertained trade offers for other players at the position. A team source told Dianna Russini, "He's better than any trade we could make. People don't realize how good he is." Rice, currently serving a six-game suspension for charges related to a hit-and-run, was on a phenomenal pace in 2024 before the setback. He hauled in 24 of 29 targets for 288 yards and two touchdowns in just three games. Scheduled to return in Week 7 against the Las Vegas Raiders, Rice is expected to reclaim his WR1 role in Kansas City immediately. With the fantasy wide receiver market looking uncertain, Rice has the potential to step right back into the WR1 fold in most formats this season.
