DEN WR Courtland Sutton - 2019 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Courtland Sutton will be Denver’s No. 2 WR and start opposite Emmanuel Sanders to open the season. Despite getting off to a somewhat slow start last season, Sutton became just the 15th rookie WR since ‘11 to register at least 40 receptions with over 700 yards, score a minimum of four times and average at least 14.0 yards per grab. In the second to last game of the season at Oakland, he posted a career-high six receptions. Joe Flacco will be the Broncos QB, which should be an upgrade over Case Keenum last year.

Fantasy Downside
Before Demaryius Thomas was traded, Sutton was having a subpar rookie season, with only 17 grabs through the first eight contests. Even without Thomas and Sanders inured for the last month of ’18, the most receiving yards Sutton’s registered in a game was 85. Fellow second-year WR DaeSean Hamilton had a good end to his rookie season and will likely take away some targets from Sutton.

Bottom Line
Sutton’s height, at 6’3" should make him a big part in the red zone offense. Playing opposite of Sanders may help the former SMU Mustang, as when Sanders was out Sutton had to face opponents’ top cornerback. Without Sanders, Sutton averaged just 36.5 yards per game and only 10.5 yards per catch. In the five games prior, he averaged over 60 yards per contest. As the Broncos No. 2 WR, as long at Flacco remains healthy, Sutton has a shot at a 1,000-yard season.

DEN WR Courtland Sutton - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Los Angeles Chargers

Last Monday night at the Raiders, Courtland Sutton saw 10 targets from Case Keenum, leading to six receptions for a team-high 65 yards, including a fourth-quarter TD. He has scored four times during his rookie campaign and led Denver with 78 receiving yards in the win against the Chargers earlier this season. Consider Sutton a WR3/flex play on Sunday.

DEN WR Courtland Sutton - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Oakland Raiders

With Case Keenum throwing 48 passes last week in the loss to the Browns, Courtland Sutton was targeted six times, leading to a career-high five receptions for 42 yards. Without Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas, it was anticipated that the rookie would become the No. 1 option for Keenum but that hasn’t happened. Although he was targeted six times in the previous meeting versus the Raiders in Week 2, Sutton had just a nine-yard reception. He should be considered no more than a WR3/flex play on Monday night.

DEN WR Courtland Sutton - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Cleveland Browns

With Case Keenum attempting 42 passes in San Fran last Sunday, Courtland Sutton was targeted six times, but caught only two of them for 14 yards. Denver fell behind early, which usually leads to some garbage yards for QBs and WRs, however, it was Tim Patrick and DaeSean who ended up with seven grabs each. Back at home this week expect a better game from Sutton versus a bad Browns pass defense, but he’s still just a WR3 start.

DEN WR Courtland Sutton - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at San Francisco 49ers

In the win over the Bengals last Sunday, Courtland Sutton led the Broncos with seven targets, leading to career-highs of four grabs and 85 yards and he scored his third touchdown of the season – the first since Week 7. In three of the past five contests, Sutton has registered at least 78 yards, with 14 total receptions during that timeframe. The 49ers are No. 13 versus the pass and the balanced Broncos attack has been conservative lately with the aerial game. Sutton will likely be counted on more than usual with Emmanuel Sanders done for the season so consider him a WR2 play.

DEN WR Courtland Sutton - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Cincinnati Bengals

Of Case Keenum’s 28 passes last week versus the Steelers, four went toward Courtland Sutton. The rookie finished with just a 14-yard reception, resulting in the second-lowest total of the season. Even without Demaryius Thomas on the team, Sutton hasn't caught more than three passes in any game. Expect Keenum to continue to favor the veteran Emmanuel Sanders, limiting Sutton’s looks. The Bengals are second-worst versus the pass, but he makes for just a WR3/flex start.

DEN WR Courtland Sutton - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Case Keenum threw for only 205 yards last Sunday against the Chargers, with Courtland Sutton snagging three passes for a team-high 78 yards. His 30-yard catch-and-run set up the game-winning field goal. As a starter the past two games, the rookie has recorded six receptions for 135 yards, but hasn’t been in the end zone since mid-October. Sutton and the Broncos face a solid Steelers pass defense this week, so consider him a WR3/flex start.
