Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton reeled in 8-of-11 targets for 100 yards in Week 8's 28-14 domination of the Carolina Panthers. He added 28 passing yards on his only attempt and lost a fumble in the outing. It was an excellent bounce-back effort for the 29-year-old after posting a goose egg in last week's win over the New Orleans Saints. It's the first time this season that the seventh-year veteran posted a 100-yard performance and the third time he's garnered double-digit targets. His eight receptions were a new season high. Sutton's production has greatly varied through eight games, putting up useful fantasy totals half the time while the other half not so much. Still, he's the clear No. 1 option in Denver's passing attack. He and the Broncos will square off against the Baltimore Ravens next Sunday in a much tougher matchup.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy caught four passes for 37 yards and a touchdown in the 27-20 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Worthy was not involved in the run game in this contest. The Chiefs rookie receiver garnered the second-most targets on the team with eight, just behind Travis Kelce's 12. Worthy found the endzone with a fourth-quarter score to essentially ice the game. Despite being heavily involved in the offensive game plan, Worthy came down with just half of his targets in this game. Worthy will look to build on this performance next week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs rank 28th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season, so Worthy will have an advantageous matchup in Week 9. The arrival of DeAndre Hopkins may negatively impact Worthy's volume, but it could be beneficial for his efficiency. Hopkins should draw the defense's attention, leaving Worthy with lighter coverage. It remains to be seen how the targets will be divided amongst the pass catchers, but Worthy will remain a vital part of the offensive game plan. Worthy should continue to be viewed as a low-end WR3/flex play with upside for now.
