Who Should I Start? Courtland Sutton or Tee Higgins

Sunday, November 8, 5:49 PM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton had season highs in catches (five) and targets (nine) while recording 45 receiving yards and his second touchdown of the season in the team's 26-21 win on the road over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday in Week 9. The production was nothing special, but the 31-year-old veteran's elevated line in comparison to the rest of his season came with fellow receiver Jaylen Waddle being ruled out after suffering a head injury early in the game. Sutton's second touchdown of the season got Denver on the board on a three-yard hookup with quarterback Bo Nix in the first quarter. He only averaged 9.0 yards per catch, though, and Sutton could go back to being a hard-to-trust WR4/flex option in deeper fantasy leagues when the team returns from their Week 10 bye to face the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders if Waddle is cleared from his concussion by then. Sutton only has 25 catches for 266 yards and two touchdowns on 46 targets through nine games in 2026, but he does have at least 45 yards receiving in his last three games after having only one such game in the first six weeks.
