Who Should I Start? Courtland Sutton or Tucker Kraft

Saturday, October 11, 8:36 AM

Although Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton will face star cornerback Sauce Gardner and the New York Jets defense, he will likely lead the team in targets as they take the field in London. Sutton has been a consistent player this season, outside of a Week 2 dud, in which Troy Franklin had a breakout game. With averages of 13.5 half-ppr ppg and 16.1 full-ppr ppg coming into Week 6, Sutton is likely the only fully reliable option within the Broncos' core against a defense that typically gets exploited by the run game more than the pass. Fantasy managers should keep him in their lineups as a WR2 with upside, as Sutton comes in as WR15 in the latest RotoBaller rankings for Week 6.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has had a solid start to his second season as the full-time starting tight end for the Packers and looks to come off the team's Week 5 bye on the right foot when the Packers host the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6. In Week 4, Kraft could only manage five targets with five receptions for 56 yards against the Cowboys in Green Bay's 40-40 tie. Kraft has been one of the best pass-catchers on the team this season, but even he is not immune to some of the things that plague the Packers' offense, like a lack of target concentration and pass volume concerns. Those factors bog down the upside case of the top Packers' pass-catchers and render the secondary pass-catchers irrelevant in most weeks. Kraft is a volatile boom-or-bust option with an inconsistent target-earning profile, but Week 6 represents a good matchup against the Bengals. Kraft is a fine start for fantasy purposes.
