Courtland Sutton News
Tuesday, March 17, 4:14 PM
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has finished the past two seasons with nearly identical stat lines, but he's arrived there in drastically different ways. In Bo Nix's 2024 rookie season, Sutton more than doubled the next closest teammate in targets. As Nix's passing volume increased in 2025, so too did his diversity of targets, and Sutton earned a share only 3% higher than that of Troy Franklin. With the Broncos trading for former first-round pick Jaylen Waddle, Nix will presumably have a new number one option, and Sutton will be next up in a competitive room that still features Franklin, Marvin Mims Jr., and Pat Bryant, as well as tight end Evan Engram and pass-catching back RJ Harvey. Sutton turns 31 in October, and while he will still be featured prominently in Sean Payton's pass-heavy offense, he faces his stiffest competition for targets since Denver spent a first-round pick on Jerry Jeudy.

Rashod Bateman News
Saturday, March 21, 8:29 AM
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman had a career year in 2024 in his fourth year in the league, catching 45 of his 72 targets for 756 yards and nine touchdowns in 17 regular-season games. The Ravens were saying last offseason that they were hoping to get Bateman more involved. It didn't happen, as the 26-year-old former 27th overall pick in 2021 out of Minnesota caught just 19 passes on 38 targets for 224 yards and two touchdowns in 13 games. Bateman didn't have much of a chance with quarterback Lamar Jackson struggling with efficiency and multiple lower-body injuries throughout the year. As he looks to bounce back in 2026, Bateman and the rest of Baltimore's offensive skill players will be learning a new offense under a new coaching staff and offensive coordinator Declan Doyle. The Ravens haven't made any additions to their WR room this offseason, but they could look to add some pass-catchers in the upcoming NFL draft. Even without much added competition, Bateman is a tough sell as a buy-low candidate in dynasty leagues, and it's looking like his 2024 campaign will be an outlier.
