Who Should I Start? Courtland Sutton or Terry McLaurin

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.

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said the team is "optimistic" about getting wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) back for their Week 6 tilt against the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. Fantasy managers have to be happy with this news, but they shouldn't get their hopes up that Scary Terry will be back this week after missing the last two games with a pretty serious quad injury that led him to seek multiple medical opinions. Quinn said the team will know more later in the week about McLaurin's status for next Monday night. The Commanders will officially resume practicing on Thursday, so fantasy managers will want to check back then to see if he's back on the practice field. When McLaurin returns, he and Deebo Samuel Sr. should dominate pass-game targets from quarterback Jayden Daniels.
