Who Should I Start? Courtland Sutton or Zay Flowers

Saturday, September 13, 9:19 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton should continue to be viewed as a solid WR2 in all formats heading into a Week 2 tilt against the Indianapolis Colts. Despite the Denver offense struggling to find its footing in Week 1, Sutton enjoyed a productive afternoon. The veteran wideout caught six of his nine targets for 61 yards and a score. His touchdown came on a 22-yard pass from quarterback Bo Nix. Even though Nix showed some growing pains in this contest, his top wideout was still given a high target share and was able to produce. Last season, Sutton was one of the most productive wideouts during the second half, averaging a stellar 18.2 PPR points per game over his final 10 games. Even if Nix continues to struggle, Sutton's high target share gives him a safe WR2 projection in this contest. He is worth starting in all formats this weekend.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers put up the second-highest fantasy points of his career in the Week 1 loss to the Buffalo Bills. In half-PPR formats, that rates second to only his game against the Denver Broncos in Week 9 last season. Now, he'll try to carry that momentum into the first divisional matchup with the Cleveland Browns, who seem to have a lot of confidence. The speedy wideout didn't score in either of their meetings last season, in part due to their second matchup came in Week 18 when the Ravens rested a lot of starters. In Week 8 last year, Flowers finished as the WR17 against the Browns with seven receptions for 115 yards on 12 targets. He's hovering right around WR2 value again this week, but can always pop off into WR1 territory.
