Courtland Sutton is a WR2 with Upside in London Game vs. Jets

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.

Rashee Rice News

Chiefs "Allocating a Heavy Workload" for Rashee Rice Right Away

Wednesday, October 15, 11:44 AM

The Kansas City Chiefs are getting wide receiver Rashee Rice back from suspension in Week 7, and the team "will be allocating a heavy workload for him as soon as possible," according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Rice joins a talented group of pass catchers in Kansas City that also includes wide receivers Xavier Worthy and Marquise Brown, as well as tight end Travis Kelce. Still, Rice should be expected to take over as the number one option in the passing game for quarterback Patrick Mahomes sooner rather than later. In four games before suffering a season-ending knee injury in 2024, Rice recorded 24 catches for 288 yards and two touchdowns on 29 targets. He profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
