There's no denying that Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton had a great year in 2024 as rookie quarterback Bo Nix's go-to target, and it led to Sutton's second career 1,000-yard performance while grabbing a career-best 81 passes and scoring eight touchdowns. He was the WR20 in fantasy points per game once things started clicking for Nix and has now found the end zone 18 times in the last two seasons. The 29-year-old should be a weekly WR2 consideration, but with the additions of running backs J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey, tight end Evan Engram and receiver Pat Bryant, Sutton figures to have more competition in terms of target share. And in Week 1 against the Titans -- a team that allowed the fewest half-PPR points per game to WRs in 2024 -- Sutton could disappoint out of the gates, especially if he's shadowed by cornerback L'Jarius Sneed.

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan enters his first NFL season as his team's clear number one option in the passing game. In the past week, Carolina has traded away veteran wideout Adam Thielen to the Minnesota Vikings and lost Jalen Coker (quad) to a quad injury, which should only increase McMillan's targets. The number eight overall pick has a favorable matchup on paper in his NFL regular-season debut against the Jacksonville Jaguars. In 2024, Jacksonville's defense ranked dead last in total receiving yards allowed (4,605) and 28th in total receiving touchdowns allowed (29). Additionally, Panthers quarterback Bryce Young finished 2024 by playing the best football of his career, throwing for 1,583 yards and 11 touchdowns over his final seven games. If Young can carry that momentum to 2025, McMillan could get his season off to a strong start. He should be viewed as a low-end fantasy WR2 in Week 1.
