If you're looking for a reliable receiver who should see more than seven targets per game in a quality offense, look no further than Sutton. With Bo Nix as his quarterback, Sutton averaged 7.9 targets per game and turned that into 16.4 PPR points per game. It wasn't done with splash plays (only six of his 81 catches went for 30-plus yards), sly agility (just a 1.2% avoided tackle rate) or a ton of touchdowns (he had eight, two fewer than his 2023 total), just volume. And even though the Broncos added tight end Evan Engram and rookie wideout Pat Bryant, Sutton is still set to see plenty of passes. Treat him as a solid No. 2 Fantasy receiver worth buying into starting in late Round 5/early Round 6.
Sutton caught one of three targets for two yards in Saturday's 30-9 preseason win over the 49ers.
Sutton had a quiet game with limited opportunities in Denver's first game of the preseason. Firmly entrenched as the Broncos' No. 1 wide receiver, the veteran was on the field with the starters during the first quarter of the contest. Though quarterback Bo Nix and Sutton were unable to connect much Saturday, they will look to improve upon a solid 2024 season as the chemistry continues to grow heading into the 2025 campaign. The 29-year-old wideout will have his next opportunity to lead the team's receiving corps when the Broncos host the Cardinals in Denver's second preseason game on Saturday night.
Sutton and the Broncos agreed Monday to a four-year extension, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Sutton was abstaining from full-speed reps in the early days of training camp while his agents and the team hammered out a deal. He now figures to be a full participant, gearing up for Year 2 with Bo Nix after finishing 2024 with career highs for catches, targets and fantasy points.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Limiting reps during contract talks
Rotowire
Sutton and the Broncos are on the same page about the wideout being a limited practice participant while extension negotiations are ongoing, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Gabriel notes that contract talks are amicable, with Sutton seemingly refraining from full-speed drills due to financial caution, not as a negotiating tactic or show of displeasure. He has one season remaining on a four-year, $60.8 million contract, after topping 1,000 yards last season for the first time since 2019. Sutton got off to a slow start last year but quickly improved along with Bo Nix, averaging 6.0 catches for 80.4 yards and 0.6 TDs on 8.8 targets over the final 10 games of the regular season. Continuing with those numbers over a full season in 2025 would make Sutton one of the top picks relative to ADP, but it'll be tougher to repeat that kind of volume after the Broncos upgraded their backfield and complementary pass-catching targets in the offseason.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Leading receiver in wild-card loss
Rotowire
Sutton caught five of nine targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 31-7 wild-card round loss to the Bills.
The veteran wideout led the Broncos in catches, targets and receiving yards, although it was Troy Franklin who was on the other end of rookie QB Bo Nix's only TD pass Sunday. Sutton put together arguably the best campaign of his career in 2024, hauling in a career-high 81 passes for 1,081 yards and a career-high eight touchdowns over 17 regular-season contests, and his per-game averages soared in the second half of the year (60-804-6 over his last 10 games) once he developed stronger chemistry with Nix. Sutton is under contract for one more year, and assuming he returns to Denver in 2025, his big finish will put him in high demand at the fantasy draft table.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Closes regular season well
Rotowire
Sutton recorded five receptions on seven targets for 98 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-0 win over the Chiefs.
The Chiefs rested several of their defensive starters, but this was still an impressive performance for Sutton. He picked up nearly half of his yardage on a 47-yard catch midway through the first quarter, and he capped off the same drive with a 10-yard reception in the end zone two plays later. With the showing, he topped 1,000 receiving yards in a season for the first time since 2019 and will remain a key part of the Denver offense in a wild-card round matchup against the Bills.

Sutton had a big game against the Chiefs in Week 10 with six catches for 70 yards and a touchdown on nine targets, and he should do well in the rematch in Week 18. Kansas City is expected to rest several starters on defense, and Sutton has scored at least 14.8 PPR points in seven of his past nine games. He has top-15 upside in the majority of leagues.
Sutton recorded five receptions on nine targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Bengals.
Sutton had only one catch in the first half but came alive along with the entire Denver offense in the final two quarters. He made a leaping six-yard touchdown grab to tally his seventh score of the season late in the third quarter and later chipped in long grabs of 15, 14 and 13 yards. Sutton has at least nine targets in seven of his last nine games and remains the primary option in the Broncos' passing attack.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: WRs to Start

Sutton is due for a big game after two down performances, and I expect him to get back on track in Week 17 at Cincinnati. Sutton has scored a combined 22.2 PPR points in his past two games against the Colts and Chargers with just eight catches for 82 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets. Prior to that, he scored at least 14.8 PPR points in six games in a row, and he should be in that range against the Bengals -- or better. Cincinnati has shut down the receivers in Tennessee and Cleveland in the past two games, but prior to that at least one receiver had scored at least 16.1 PPR points against the Bengals in seven games in a row. Sutton should be considered a solid No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Five catches in TNF loss
Rotowire
Sutton brought in five of six targets for 50 yards in the Broncos' 34-27 loss to the Chargers on Thursday night.
Sutton finished second across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets for the Broncos on the night. The veteran wideout saw a highly productive six-game stretch with at least six catches and 70 receiving yards in each contest snapped Week 15 against the Colts, and although he saw a slight uptick Thursday, he still delivered relatively modest numbers for fantasy managers relying on him in playoff matchups. Sutton should have a good chance of bouncing back in a Week 17 road matchup against the vulnerable Bengals defense on Saturday, Dec. 28.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Salvages fantasy line with late TD
Rotowire
Sutton caught three of nine targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Colts.
Sutton was quiet prior to scoring a 20-yard touchdown with 5:48 remaining in the fourth quarter. That play was enough to propel him into the team lead in receiving yards as Bo Nix threw for only 130 yards in this turnover-filled matchup. Sutton has seen at least eight targets in seven consecutive games heading into Thursday's clash with the Chargers, and this was the first time in that busy stretch that Sutton failed to reach 70 receiving yards.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Cracks century mark in win

Sutton brought in six of nine targets for 102 yards in Monday's 41-32 win over the Browns.
Sutton led the Broncos in both targets and receptions Monday, but he was second to Marvin Mims after the latter broke off a 93-yard touchdown in the high-scoring affair. The 29-year-old Sutton has posted three 100-plus-yard performances over the last six weeks, chipping in three touchdowns over that span as well. With Denver entering a bye week, Sutton will have to wait until Sunday, Dec. 15 against Indianapolis in order to continue his current tear.

Sutton is on fire coming into Week 13 against the Browns, and he should stay hot on Monday night. Sutton has scored at least 14.8 PPR points in five games in a row, including three outings with at least 19 PPR points. He has at least eight targets in each game over that span, and he's become a standout Fantasy option with Bo Nix getting hot as well. I like Devaughn Vele as a sleeper in Week 13 also, and the Browns are No. 10 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers. Five receivers have scored at least 14.3 PPR points against Cleveland in the past four games.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Goes for two scores Sunday
Rotowire
Sutton grabbed eight receptions (on 10 targets) for 97 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 29-19 win over the Raiders.
Sutton was on the receiving end of both of Bo Nix's touchdown passes Sunday, resulting in his first multi-score game of 2024. The veteran wideout boosted his season line to 57-744-5 through 12 games with this dominant showing. Sutton has recorded at least 70 receiving yards in five straight contests since being held without a target back in Week 7. Fantasy managers should continue riding this wave of production into next Monday's tilt against the Browns.

Sutton caught seven of eight targets for 78 yards in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Falcons.
Sutton led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards but wasn't on the receiving end of any of Bo Nix's four touchdown passes. Since being held without a catch by the Saints in Week 7, Sutton has bounced back by posting at least six catches and 70 yards in each of his last four games. With Nix surging under center, Denver's top wide receiver has turned into a reliable fantasy option ahead of a Week 12 road game against the Raiders.

Sutton is on fire heading into Week 11 against the Falcons, and I would start him as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues. He scored at least 17.1 PPR points in three games in a row against the Panthers, Ravens, and Chiefs, and he has at least nine targets, six catches, and 70 yards in each outing, including one touchdown. The Falcons are No. 7 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and 10 receivers have scored at least 13.5 PPR points against Atlanta this season.

Sutton caught seven of 10 targets for 122 yards and threw a two-yard touchdown to Bo Nix in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Ravens.
The veteran wideout produced the Broncos' only TD of the afternoon, just not in the way anyone likely expected. Sutton has erupted for back-to-back 100-yard performances, posting a combined 15-222-0 line on 21 targets, and he'll try to get back into the end zone himself for the first time since Week 6 in next Sunday's road tilt against Kansas City.

Sutton is coming off a strong game in Week 8 against Carolina with eight catches for 100 yards on 11 targets. He now has five games this season with at least six targets, and he's scored at least 13.8 PPR points in four of them. The Ravens are No. 2 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and seven receivers have scored at least 12.9 PPR points against Baltimore in the past four games. I like Sutton as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues for Week 9.

Sutton had no targets in Week 7 at New Orleans, but he should be involved in the game plan in Week 8 against Carolina. Prior to Week 7, Sutton had scored at least 13.8 PPR points in three of his previous four games. The Panthers have allowed eight receivers to score at least 15.8 PPR points this season, and Sutton is worth using as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in Week 8, given the matchup.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Surprisingly blanked in big win
Rotowire
Sutton did not draw a target during the Broncos' 33-10 win over the Saints on Thursday night.
The Broncos' No. 1 wideout was shockingly uninvolved in a game during which his team enjoyed a solid amount of offensive success, although Sutton did draw a target late in the first quarter that didn't end up in the box score due to the Saints' defensive holding penalty on the play. Given he'd drawn an impressive 47 targets from Bo Nix over the first six games, Thursday can safely be chalked up as an outlier for Sutton, who'll be well-positioned for a bounce-back performance during a Week 8 home matchup against the Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 27.

Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Makes impressive TD grab
Rotowire
Sutton finished with four receptions (six targets) for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chargers.
Sutton made his mark on this contest when he fully extended to catch a 37-pass from Bo Nix for a highlight-reel touchdown. It was the 28-year-old Sutton's second touchdown through six games after the veteran snagged 10 scores in 2023. Denver's offense is starting to show some life as Nix continues to develop under center, giving Sutton modest fantasy appeal against the Saints in Week 7 on Thursday Night Football.
