Who Should I Start? Courtland Sutton or Rashod Bateman

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton led the team in catches (eight), targets (11) and receiving yards (91) while hauling in his second touchdown of the season in the 70-20 embarrassing loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday in Week 3. It wasn't all good for Sutton, though, as he also lost two fumbles as the Broncos fell to 0-3 on the season. The 27-year-old has been a strong high-ceiling WR4/flex for fantasy managers through the first three weeks of the year as quarterback Russell Wilson's go-to target in the passing game. Wilson has also gone for over 300 yards passing in back-to-back game, so there's optimism that Sutton can maintain fantasy relevance all year as long as he stays healthy. Fantasy managers will want to keep him in their starting lineups next week for a matchup against the winless Chicago Bears and their porous defense.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (hamstring) had just one catch (three targets) for six yards during the narrow loss to Indianapolis on Sunday. The 23-year-old has struggled in 2023-24, amassing six grabs for 53 yards. But he tweaked his hamstring versus the Colts, which may explain his lack of production. At this point, there's a chance Bateman won't be available for the AFC showdown against the Browns in Week 4. If that's the case, Nelson Agholor and Isaiah Likely could see more looks from Lamar Jackson. However, neither man should produce enough to be relevant in any fantasy format.
