Who Should I Start? Courtland Sutton or Theo Johnson

Sunday, December 14, 8:50 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton isn't quite having the type of success that fantasy managers expect from a WR1 in an offense. Sutton has played better lately, with 59 receiving yards or more in three straight games. Over that span, Sutton has seen 24 targets, so he should continue to see the ball coming his way. He'll draw a tough matchup against the Green Bay Packers defense in Week 15. A defensive unit that has allowed the fewest yards per reception coming into this game. Sutton has enough upside to be at least started as a FLEX option this weekend.

Across 14 games this season, New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson has recorded 45 receptions for 528 yards and five touchdowns on 72 targets. While the 24-year-old has yet to demonstrate explosive upside, he's been highly consistent. Johnson has recorded exactly three catches in seven of his last eight games and double-digit PPR fantasy points in six out of his last eleven contests. Johnson has also dominated tight end snaps in New York this season, playing 80% or more of the team's offensive snaps in 12 out of 14 weeks. The Giants will host the Minnesota Vikings in Week 16 before a more favorable matchup in Week 17 in Las Vegas against the Raiders. In fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams, Johnson could be worth targeting as a streaming option off the waiver wire at the tight end position.
