Scores ninth touchdown
Sutton recorded two receptions on seven targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: Sutton led the Broncos in targets but spent much of the game squandering his opportunity. That changed late in the third quarter when he made an acrobatic 45-yard touchdown grab, just reaching the front pylon as he was touched down. Sutton has now found the end zone nine times on the campaign -- including six times in his last seven games -- even though he's topped 75 receiving yards only three times this season.

Three grabs in Sunday's win
Sutton caught three of six targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 29-12 win over the Browns.
Analysis: Russell Wilson attempted only 22 passes on the day as the Broncos led wire to wire, but Sutton still paced the team in receiving yards and nearly extended his touchdown streak to six games with a 31-yard gain on the opening drive that saw him pushed out of bounds at the Cleveland three-yard line. Samaje Perine scored instead on the next play. While Sutton's TD streak is over, he remains the team's top receiving option with a 48-560-8 line on 68 targets through 11 contests heading into a Week 13…read more

Catches game-winning TD
Sutton hauled in four of his five targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-20 victory over the Vikings.
Analysis: Sutton made the play of the game when he leaped over his defender after running a corner route to grab a lob from Russell Wilson for the game-winning score. The QB/WR duo have already connected in the red zone a whopping eight times this season, resulting in all eight of Sutton's touchdowns through 10 games. The 28-year-old has still yet to eclipse the century mark in receiving yards in any game this year, which might suggest that the wideout's current high ranking in fantasy is being inflated…read more

Scores in fourth straight
Sutton recorded eight receptions (on 11 targets) for 53 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 24-22 win over the Bills.
Analysis: Sutton remained Russell Wilson's favorite target, as no other pass catcher on the team saw more than four opportunities. Even with a long gain of 30 yards, Sutton managed to average only 6.6 yards per catch. He overcame the lack of big-play ability with a spectacular toe-tapping, seven-yard touchdown reception midway through the first quarter. Sutton now has found the end zone in four consecutive games but has topped 50 receiving yards only twice in that span.

Nabs sixth TD in upset win
Sutton had two receptions on three targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-9 win over Kansas City.
Analysis: The Broncos' entire receiving corps saw a dip in volume Sunday as Russell Wilson attempted just 19 passes, and Sutton's two catches actually tied Jerry Jeudy for the team high. The good news for fantasy GMs is that both players were able to cash in touchdowns despite seeing fewer targets than usual. Sutton's late touchdown to seal the victory for his club was his sixth of the season, tying his previous best from 2019 in eight fewer games. The veteran receiver will now receive some extra…read more

Scores in win
Sutton caught all six of his targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Packers.
Analysis: Sutton led Denver in all major receiving categories. His performance was highlighted by an 18-yard touchdown during the third quarter. Through seven appearances, Sutton has now found the end zone five times, giving him good value ahead of Week 8's game versus the Chiefs.

Bounces back with TD grab in loss
Sutton secured four of six targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 19-8 loss to the Chiefs on Thursday night.
Analysis: Sutton's modest reception, yardage and target totals all led the Broncos on the night, and he was also the only one on his squad to visit the end zone. The veteran wideout's 11-yard scoring grab in the fourth quarter was a highlight-reel catch, with Sutton securing the ball with his right hand and keeping his feet inbounds while falling and being smothered by Chiefs cornerback Jaylen Watson. Sutton has somehow manage to mostly sidestep the malaise that's hung over the Broncos for most of the…read more

Held to one catch Sunday
Sutton had one reception on three targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Sutton couldn't create separation against the Jets' secondary, failing to record a reception until late in the fourth quarter. It would wind up being the veteran wideout's lone reception in an overall forgettable performance. Sutton was providing consistent fantasy value with three touchdowns over the four games prior to Sunday's dud. He won't have much time to dwell on his down performance, as the Broncos play Thursday against Kansas City in Week 6.

Has TD in three of four games
Sutton caught three of five targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 win over Chicago.
Analysis: Sutton actually tied Jerry Jeudy for the team lead in both targets and catches, as Denver erased a 21-point deficit despite running only 47 offensive plays to Chicago's 66. The 6-foot-4 Sutton has caught a touchdown in three of four games in 2023, and he has already surpassed last season's total of two touchdowns in 15 games. He'll look to build on this hot start in Week 5 against the Jets.

Busy day in blowout loss
Sutton brought in eight of 11 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 70-20 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also lost two fumbles.
Analysis: Sutton led the Broncos in receptions, receiving yards and targets on a day when Denver simply had no chance of keeping up with a juggernaut of a Dolphins offense. The veteran wideout's performance was one of the few positives for head coach Sean Payton's squad, although his two fumbles did lead to Miami touchdowns, albeit when the game was essentially out of reach. Sutton partly atoned with a 12-yard scoring grab and also set new season highs across the stat sheet. The 27-year-old has looked…read more

Nabs five receptions Sunday
Sutton caught five of seven targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 35-33 loss to Washington.
Analysis: Sutton finished with the most targets and ahead of fellow starter Jerry Jeudy, but it was rookie Marvin Mims (2-113-1) who stole the show as the fantasy standout for Denver on Sunday. The veteran wideout Sutton still put together a decent fantasy game after logging his first touchdown of 2023 last week. Sutton retains his high fantasy floor heading into a Week 3 matchup against the Dolphins next Sunday.

Finds end zone in Week 1 loss
Sutton brought in four of five targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 17-16 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.
Analysis: Sutton couldn't benefit much from the absence of Jerry Jeudy (hamstring), but he did salvage his day from a fantasy perspective with a five-yard touchdown grab. The veteran saw quarterback Russell Wilson spread the ball around to 10 different players, although Sutton did co-lead the team in targets with tight end Adam Trautman. Wilson and the rest of the offense are likely to become more productive the more they acclimate to new head coach Sean Payton's offensive concepts. Consequently, Sutton…read more

Impressing at camp
Offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi said the team has been "real impressed" with Sutton during training camp and added that the Broncos will rely on him a lot in the upcoming campaign, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: After what was a disappointing year for Sutton in 2022, it appears the Broncos are committed to utilizing the veteran receiver in a significant role this season. An increased reliance on Sutton in the passing game could become a matter of necessity to start the season as fellow wideout Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) is set to miss several weeks after an injury suffered during practice Thursday. The 27-year-old is set to headline Denver's receiving corps while Jeudy is on the mend, with rookie Marvin…read more

Back in action
Sutton (undisclosed) participated in Wednesday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Sutton worked out on a side field during Monday's practice, but he's back in action Wednesday, with DiLalla noting that the wideout has been having a strong training camp. As Week 1 approaches, Sutton, Jerry Jeudy and Marvin Mims look set to lead Denver's receiver corps. On the heels of a 2022 campaign in which he logged a 64-829-2 receiving line on 109 targets in 15 contests, Sutton's fantasy upside in 2023 hinges largely on starting quarterback Russell Wilson turning in a bounce-back campaign.

Doesn't practice Monday
Sutton (undisclosed) worked out on a side field Monday instead of participating in practice, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.
Analysis: Sutton caught three of five targets for 35 yards in Friday's preseason opener against Arizona, but he may have been dinged up over the course of the game. While the cause of Sutton's absence has yet to be identified, it wouldn't be surprising if he sat out Denver's next preseason game against the 49ers on Saturday to ensure he's healthy for the regular season, which is less than a month away.

Slims down, looking quick
Sutton lost a little weight in the offseason and has been praised by coaches for improving his releases off the line of scrimmage, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Sutton is one of the many Broncos looking to rebound after a disappointing 2022, though in his case it's been a multi-year slump ever since he put up 1,112 yards in 2019 and then tore his ACL in 2020. While it was easy to make excuses when he managed only 776 yards in 2021 -- his first year back from the severe knee injury -- it's discouraging that he put up a similar stat line in 2022 even after the Broncos traded for QB Russell Wilson. Granted, Wilson was from the best version of himself last…read more

Feels good at lighter weight
Sutton trimmed down in the offseason and has excelled at getting off the line of scrimmage quickly in training camp, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Sutton has been unable to replicate his breakout 2019 season, in which he set career highs in both receiving yards (1,112) and touchdowns (six). He tore his ACL early in the 2020 season, then scored only two touchdowns in each of the 2021 and 2022 campaigns. A quicker release could help Sutton create the space he needs to utilize his 6-foot-4 frame effectively in the red zone, and the 27-year-old wide receiver could benefit from more scoring opportunities in a Denver offense that's expected to…read more

Breaks scoring drought in finale
Sutton secured three of seven targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 31-28 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Analysis: Sutton was able to cross the goal line for the first time since Week 4 on a 20-yard scoring grab early in the fourth quarter. The 2018 second-round pick missed two games with injuries and also was naturally affected by Russell Wilson's significant growing pains in his first Broncos campaign, but Sutton still finished with a solid 64-829-2 line on 109 targets across 15 contests in 2022.

Four grabs in loss
Sutton caught four of six targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Sutton had yet another underwhelming fantasy day even as the Broncos kept pace with the Chiefs on Sunday. His six targets were the second most of any Denver receiver behind Jerry Jeudy The wideout failed to find the end zone in the contest, and he only has one touchdown on the season that he scored in Week 4 against Las Vegas.

No designation for Sunday
Sutton (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Kansas City, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Sutton picked up a hamstring injury Week 13 at Baltimore and sat out the next two games as a result. He was able to return this past Sunday at the Rams, hauling in five of seven targets for 64 yards on a 79 percent snap share. Fellow wide receivers Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and Kendall Hinton (hamstring) are questionable for Week 17 action, so if one or both sit out Sunday, Sutton could be in line for even more targets.

Gains 64 yards in return
Sutton (hamstring) caught five of seven targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 51-14 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Fantasy managers welcomed Sutton back after a two-week layoff due to a bum hamstring. The 27-year-old performed well and didn't appear to suffer any setbacks in the blowout loss. Sutton could be in line for heavy usage if the Broncos have to play catch up with Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City's high-powered offense on New Year's Day.

Analysis: Sutton, who last suited up in Week 13, was able to practice in a limited fashion all week and will be back in action Sunday to work alongside fellow starting wideout Jerry Jeudy in a game that also marks the return of QB Russell Wilson, who was held out of Week 15 action due to concussion issues. In the absence of any in-game setbacks versus Los Angeles, Sutton is poised to reclaim a key role in Denver's offense after having recorded a 52-688-1 line on 89 targets through 12 contests to date.

Optimistic about playing Sunday
Sutton (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, but he said Friday he's in a good position to play, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports. ""Yeah, I think if everything goes the way we want it to go and it keeps trending in the right direction like we want it to, it'll be nice to be able to go out there, play on Sunday and help the team," Sutton said.
Analysis: Coming off two straight absences due to the hamstring injury, Sutton took part in each of Denver's three Week 16 practices, albeit as a limited participant on every occasion. The lack of a full practice prevented Sutton from approaching the contest without a designation, but he seems likely to get cleared ahead of Sunday's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff, provided he experiences no setbacks over the next 48 hours. If Sutton suited up Sunday, it would mark the first time that both he and fellow starting…read more

Analysis: Sutton -- who last saw game action in Week 13 -- has been able to practice all week, which appears to bode well for his chances of suiting up this weekend, but his status will need to be confirmed prior to Sunday's 4:30 ET kickoff.

Analysis: Sutton's reps will be capped for the second day in a row while he works back from a hamstring injury, but the fact that the wideout remains on the field in any capacity continues to bode well for his chances of ending his two-game absence Sunday against the Rams.

Analysis: Hackett specifically referred to the ailment as a "stomach bug," so Sutton's status will be one to watch closely as Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff approaches. Fortunately, the early start affords fantasy managers plenty of options to pivot to if Sutton is unavailable. However, if he is able to suit up, Sutton will be the clear No. 1 wide receiver for quarterback Russell Wilson and the Broncos offense, especially with Jerry Jeudy (ankle) also questionable and KJ Hamler (hamstring) ruled out.

Leading receiver in Week 12 loss
Sutton caught six of eight targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: Sutton accounted for more than half of Russell Wilson's 142 passing yards. The 6-foot-4 wide receiver has totaled 66 or more yards in each of his last three appearances, but Sutton's stuck on just one touchdown in a low-octane Denver offense. He'll remain an integral part of the offense in Week 13 against the Ravens regardless of fellow wide receiver Jerry Jeudy's (ankle) status.

Steps up in absence of Jeudy
Sutton recorded five catches on seven targets for 80 yards in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: Russell Wilson spread the ball around, as seven Denver pass catchers drew multiple targets. However, Sutton led the way in targets, receptions and yards while posting his highest yardage total since Week 3. Two of his five catches went for more than 20 yards, also marking the first time he's managed multiple big plays in a game since Week 2. Sutton managed that production in the absence of Jerry Jeudy (ankle), and he should be the top pass catcher again in Week 12 against Carolina if Jeudy…read more

Matches season-high 11 targets
Sutton recorded six receptions on 11 targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to Tennessee.
Analysis: Jerry Jeudy (ankle) exited the game on Denver's first offensive play, which opened up the path for Sutton to dominate targets. He largely did so, matching his season-high in targets while nearly doubling everyone else in the offense. His efficiency was less inspiring, as he averaged only six yards per target, and his longest catch of the day went for 17 yards. Sutton entered the game having recorded 50 total yards combined across his last three contests, so this performance was a step forward.…read more

Musters one catch Sunday
Sutton notched one catch on four targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 21-17 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Despite leading Broncos wide receivers in snap share (95 percent), Sutton extending his quiet stretch to three games, a span in which he's compiled a 6-50-0 line on 16 targets. Russell Wilson hasn't stopped looking Sutton's way, but connections have been few and far between after the wideout put together a 29-417-1 line on 46 targets through the first five contests of the campaign. With a bye on tap this week, Sutton and Wilson will turn their focus to a Week 10 road matchup with the Titans,…read more

Can't get going
Sutton recorded three receptions on nine targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 16-9 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Sutton saw plenty of opportunity with Brett Rypien under center, but the pair struggled to get on the same page. He was also covered closely for much of the game by Sauce Gardner -- including on a shot in the end zone that could have tied the game late in the fourth quarter. Sutton has seen at least seven targets in all but one of seven games this season and had produced relatively consistently until the last two contests, when he's combined to post only 37 yards.

Lacks opportunity in loss
Sutton recorded two receptions on three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Sutton entered the contest having seen a minimum of seven targets in every game this season, but he didn't come close in Monday's loss. Unsurprisingly, he also posted season-low marks in receptions and yards in a generally poor performance. While it's likely a safe bet that Sutton will bounce back in Week 7 against the Jets, the current state of Denver's offense makes it difficult to rely upon any player to consistently produce.

Solid numbers in loss
Sutton secured five of 11 targets for 74 yards in the Broncos' 12-9 overtime loss to the Colts on Thursday night.
Analysis: Sutton's reception, receiving yardage and target totals led the Broncos on the night, but what would have been his most critical catch, a would-be game-winning touchdown grab in overtime on fourth down, didn't materialize. Sutton has demonstrated plenty of early chemistry with Russell Wilson, however, having drawn 47 targets through five games and parlaying them into a 29-417-1 line.

Gets into end zone against Raiders
Sutton caught five of seven targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-23 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: The wide receiver got the Broncos on the board in the first quarter with a five-yard TD grab, his first score of the season. Sutton's 52 yards were his lowest total in four games, however, and his seven targets tied for fewest as well. With Russell Wilson growing more comfortable in the offense and Javonte Williams (knee) potentially set to miss time, Sutton could have a much bigger role in Week 5 against the Colts.

Leads team with 97 yards
Sutton finished with nine receptions (10 targets) for 97 yards in Sunday's 11-10 win over San Francisco.
Analysis: This was an ugly offensive game for Denver, and Sutton was one of the few players to have a notable fantasy day. Fellow starting wideout Jerry Jeudy (ribs) wasn't at full strength, so Sutton saw heavy usage for the second week in a row. The 26-year-old has put together a strong start to the season, accruing 20 receptions (28 targets) and 291 yards through three games. Sutton could increase his stock further if Russell Wilson can find his large-framed wideout in the end zone for the first time…read more

Sutton caught seven of 11 targets for 122 yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Texans. He added one rush for five yards.
Analysis: Sutton's 11 targets and seven catches led the Broncos in both categories. The connection developed this offseason between Sutton and Russell Wilson was on full display Sunday. Unfortunately, Denver's offense struggled through most of the contest, as was the case in Week 1. The veteran wideout could have had a bigger day for fantasy purposes had he kept his foot inbounds on a two-yard touchdown grab in the first quarter that was ultimately overturned. Nonetheless, Sutton's volume was a promising…read more

Four catches in Wilson's debut
Sutton caught four of seven targets for 72 yards in Monday's 17-16 loss to Seattle.
Analysis: Sutton had just one catch for 30 yards on two targets as the Broncos took a 17-13 deficit into the locker room, but he was more involved in the second half as Russell Wilson started to look downfield more often. Both Sutton and Jerry Jeudy caught four of seven targets, but running back Javonte Williams saw the most volume in the passing game with 11 catches for 65 yards on 12 targets.

Not in line to play Saturday
Sutton isn't expected to play in Saturday's preseason contest against the Vikings, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Both Sutton and Jerry Jeudy weren't in uniform ahead of Saturday's 9:00 p.m. ET kickoff, meaning KJ Hamler (knee), who is in line to get his first game action since Week 3 last season, and Montrell Washington should serve as Denver's top options at wide receiver in preseason Week 3. Sutton thus will turn his focus to a Week 1 matchup against new quarterback Russell Wilson's old team, the Seahawks, on Monday, Sept. 12.

Tight end Albert Okwuegbunam is one of the more notable players suited up for the game, and this could be his second straight week seeing action while most starters are held out.

Sutton (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Ellie Kinney of The Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: With the 26-year-old moving past the minor shoulder issue, he can now resume building his on-field chemistry with new franchise quarterback Russell Wilson. With Tim Patrick (knee) set the miss the coming season, Sutton and Jerry Jeudy profile as the Broncos' clear-cut top options at wide receiver, with their fantasy prospects bolstered by the likelihood that they'll see steady volume and benefit from the upgrade Wilson presents at quarterback.

Needs to step up in 2022
Sutton could take on a heightened role in the Denver passing game in 2022 after fellow wideout Tim Patrick suffered a season-ending knee injury Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Sutton already profiled as Denver's No. 1 wideout entering 2022 after he finished last season with 58 catches for 776 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games, but the loss of Patrick leaves even more target volume to go around.

Restructures deal with Denver
The Broncos converted $10.5 million of Sutton's contract into a signing bonus Sunday to create $7.875 million in salary cap room, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Sutton inked a four-year, $60.8 million extension with the Broncos in November, and it didn't take long for the team to rework the deal in order to create some cap space. The 26-year-old caught 58 of 98 targets for 776 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games last season, and his outlook for 2022 is on the rise because Denver will have a major upgrade at quarterback following the acquisition of Russell Wilson.

The 26-year-old finishes with 58 catches for 776 yards and just two touchdowns, with shaky quarterback play likely being a significant factor in his disappointing numbers after he inked a four-year, $60.8 million contract extension in November.

Three grabs against Bolts
Sutton caught three of five targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 34-13 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: With Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick both unable to clear the COVID-19 protocols in time to suit up Sunday, Sutton was the Broncos' top wideout and put together his best yardage total since Week 7. The team's passing game could be at full strength, including the return of Teddy Bridgewater (concussion), in Week 18 against Kansas City however, which would likely limit Sutton's upside.

Sutton caught four of five targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: Sutton continues to be plagued by an ineffective passing game, though his 33 yards in Sunday's contest were good for his highest total in the last seven weeks. The 26-year-old wideout is having an extremely disappointing fantasy season, having found the end zone just twice all season while averaging just under 47 yards per game. Sutton will try to get back on track in Week 17 against a Chargers defense giving up the fourth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season.

Can't produce with seven targets
Sutton recorded two receptions on seven targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Sutton led the team with seven targets, but he managed to finish only fourth on the team in both yards and receptions. Notably, he was targeted only twice in the second half with Drew Lock the primary quarterback after Teddy Bridgewater exited with a concussion. Regardless of who is under center in Denver, Sutton has been a large disappointment across the last seven games as he hasn't recorded more than two receptions or topped 40 yards in that span.

Analysis: The Broncos had what seemed to be a great matchup for their passing game against a vulnerable Washington secondary, but Sutton -- or any other Denver receiver -- wasn't able to take advantage. It's the third time this season the fourth-year wideout's been held to 40 yards or less, but Sutton may need to be a lot more productive in a Week 9 clash with the Cowboys.

Able to play, then dominates
Sutton (ankle) racked up seven receptions (11 targets) for 120 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Sutton was questionable heading into Sunday's matchup after suffering an ankle injury during Friday's practice. The fantasy managers who kept him in the lineup were undoubtedly pleased with the results. It was Sutton's first score of the season, which is more of a byproduct of Denver's conservative offense rather than a knock on the wideout himself. Sutton will attempt to repeat the success from this strong outing when the Broncos take on the Raiders in Week 6.

Sutton (hip) is set to practice fully Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: The wideout's reps were limited Wednesday after he apparently picked up the hip injury coming out of last week's win over Jacksonville, but the return to full practice should clear the way for Sutton to suit up Sunday against the Jets. With Jerry Jeudy (ankle) ruled out ahead of Week 2 before being moved to injured reserve, Sutton operated as the clear top target in the Denver passing game in the team's win over Jacksonville, logging nine receptions for 159 yards on 12 targets.

Limited with hip injury
Sutton was a limited practice participant Wednesday with a hip injury, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: Sutton is coming off a monster game one week after fellow Broncos wideout Jerry Jeudy suffered a high-ankle sprain. The 6-foot-4 wideout caught nine of 12 targets for 159 yards last week, seeing a league-high 249 air yards in Denver's blowout of the Jaguars. While he may have gotten banged up in the process, Sutton's participation Wednesday -- even on a limited basis -- suggests he's on track to play Sunday against the Jets.

Explodes for 159 yards
Sutton recorded nine receptions on 12 targets for 159 yards in Sunday's Week 2 win over Jacksonville.
Analysis: Sutton was the clear leader among the Broncos' receiving corps, commanding a target on 12 of the team's 34 pass attempts. He delivered an explosive performance, highlighted by gains off 55, 33 and 16 yards. The only thing missing was a trip to the end zone. After limited production in Week 1, Sutton recorded his first 100-yard receiving game since Week 10 of the 2019 season.

Quiet in opening week
Sutton recorded one reception on three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's Week 1 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Sutton was on the field for a regular-season contest for the first time since Week 2 of the 2020 season. Perhaps understandably, he wasn't as involved as could typically be projected and managed his only reception partway through the second quarter. The Broncos should be in a positive game script for much of their Week 2 matchup against Jacksonville, so volume may not be on Sutton's side again even in the absence of Jerry Jeudy (ankle).

Showing notable progress
Coach Vic Fangio relayed that Sutton has taken a step forward in recent weeks regarding the rehab of the torn ACL he suffered early in the 2020 season, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Sutton's first game action in nearly a year came against the Rams in Denver's preseason finale. In that game, the wideout totaled 27 yards and a touchdown while also proving himself as a favorite target of Teddy Bridgewater. In describing the time since that contest, Fangio said, "I think the last two weeks, he's really turned the corner and he's looking more like himself." If Sutton is at full strength and not showing hesitation following his injury, the fourth-year wide receiver likely will…read more

Returns to field
Sutton logged two receptions on three targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason game against the Rams.
Analysis: Although Sutton progressed from individual to team drills early in training camp, this served as his first return to game action since Week 2 of the 2020 season. He quickly established himself as one of Teddy Bridgewater's favorite targets, as he recorded receptions of 19 and eight yards -- the latter of which went for a touchdown. The results of the contest were certainly encouraging, but most importantly it appears that Sutton will be ready to go for Week 1 of the regular season against the…read more

Ready for Saturday's game
Sutton (knee) remains on track to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Rams, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Sutton said it's the last step in his lengthy rehab process coming back from the ACL tear he suffered last September. He's been participating in team drills at training camp since late July, putting him on track for Week 1 all along. The biggest question at this point is whether Sutton or Jerry Jeudy will be QB Teddy Bridgewater's favorite target. Sutton says he "1,000 percent" ready to play without a snap count, but he did also acknowledge that it isn't his decision, per Aric DiLalla of the…read more

On track to play in preseason finale
Coach Vic Fangio relayed that Sutton (knee) is slated to play in Denver's preseason finale this coming Saturday against the Rams, Ryan O'Halloran of the Denver Post reports.
Analysis: With the 25-year-old bouncing back from an ACL tear that limited him to one game on 2020, we suspect that Sutton's anticipated lone preseason appearance won't be extensive. As Week 1 approaches, the 2018 second-rounder already is locked into a starting wideout job along with Jerry Jeudy, with the duo profiling as the favorites to lead the Broncos in targets this year, regardless of who starts at QB for the team.

Likely sitting Saturday
Sutton (knee) is likely to sit out Saturday's preseason game against Seattle, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Analysis: Sutton previously declared that he would play in one of Denver's two remaining preseason games, so he evidently plans to suit up for the third one. According to Klis, the Broncos would prefer to play Sutton on a grass field rather than Seattle's turf. The Broncos play at home against the Rams in their preseason finale, so Sutton might test out his knee in that setting.

Sutton (knee) said he will play in one of the Broncos' remaining two preseason games, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports. "We're still taking about it," Sutton said Thursday. "Figuring which one we want to do, but definitely going to play in one of them."
Analysis: Either way, Sutton is on track for Week 1 against the Giants. His one preseason appearance figures to be brief, with the 25-year-old coming back from an ACL tear and already locked in for a starting job. Sutton and Jerry Jeudy are the favorites to lead Denver in targets this year, but the team has plenty of other mouths to feed, including TE Noah Fant, WRs KJ Hamler and Tim Patrick and RBs Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams. The offensive line also looks solid, while Drew Lock and Teddy…read more

Analysis: It remains to be seen if that happens, but either way Sutton continues to progress, with the report adding that coach Vic Fangio is looking for the wideout -- who's bouncing back from an ACL tear that limited him to one game in 2020 -- to take a big step forward in the next couple weeks. With that in mind, Sutton appears to be on track for Week 1 action against the Giants.

Returning to form
As training camp progresses, Sutton (knee) "appears to be regaining his Pro-Bowl form of two seasons ago," according to Kyle Newman of The Denver Post.
Analysis: Sutton is returning from an ACL tear that limited him to one game in 2020. While the 2018 second-rounder's reps have been managed by the team as he works his way back, offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur notes that Sutton has made "steady progress, and now you're seeing him make plays." It remains to be seen if/when Sutton, who logged 1,112 yards on 72 catches with six TDs in 2019, will see any preseason game action, as is hoped, but once he's fully up to speed the 25-year old is in line to lead…read more

Analysis: The activity is a tangible step forward after he was limited to individual drills during the offseason program.

Sutton (knee) said Tuesday that he feels "close to 100 percent" and is scheduled to play in one of Denver's three preseason games, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Sutton says he wants to play in all three games, while the Broncos plan to limit him to one (presumably brief) appearance. He was a partial participant in spring practices and may now be limited to begin training camp, but the 25-year-old wideout seems confident he'll bounce back from his ACL tear in time to play in an August exhibition.

Analysis: Sutton said in May that he was on track for training camp, and Broncos head coach Vic Fangio backed that sentiment up in mid-June, when he said the wideout wasn't likely to be placed on the PUP list. Coming back from ACL and MCL tears suffered in Week 2 last season, Sutton will be about 11 months removed from surgery when the Broncos kick off their 2021 campaign Sept. 12 at the Giants.

Should avoid preseason PUP list
Coach Vic Fango indicated Tuesday that he doesn't anticipate Sutton (knee) beginning training camp on the PUP list, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Sutton sustained ACL and MCL tears last September but was already running routes in early March, and he stated in mid-May that he was hoping to be ready for training camp. It certainly sounds like he's on a path to make that a reality. He and Jerry Jeudy figure to give the Broncos a dangerous 1-2 punch at wide receiver as Sutton looks to return to his 2019 level of production, when he posted 72 catches for 1,112 yards and six touchdowns on 125 targets.

As long as the 25-year-old is able to continue avoiding any setbacks, he should be cleared for practice by the time training camp rolls around, and it's possible that he could get limited work in during the offseason program.

The Broncos placed Sutton (knee) on injured reserve Monday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: Such a move was expected after Sutton sustained ACL and MCL tears in his left knee during Sunday's loss to the Steelers. The loss was a double whammy to the Broncos offense after Drew Lock picked up a rotator/labral issue in his right shoulder in the same game.

Done for the year with ACL tear
Sutton suffered a torn ACL and MCL during Sunday's loss to the Steelers and will miss the rest of the 2020 season, Brandon Krisztal of KOA Colorado reports.

The third-year wideout missed Week 1 due to a shoulder injury, so his 2020 campaign will come to a premature end after just three catches for 66 yards in a single game.

Analysis: Sutton will undergo an MRI to confirm the severity of his injury Monday, though Rapoport notes that the possibility of him missing the entire season is currently in play. The third-year pro also had been dealing with a shoulder issue prior to injuring his knee Sunday.

Analysis: Fortunately for those considering Sutton in Week 2 lineups, the Broncos kick off at 1:00 ET on Sunday.

Sutton sat out the season opener after suffering an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder last week, but he may be able to return for Week 2.

Acquires supporting cast in draft
The Broncos doubled-up on wide receiver during the first two rounds of the draft, adding Jerry Jeudy of Alabama and KJ Hamler of Penn State to complement Sutton, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Analysis: Sutton took a huge step in Year 2, flashing the ability to outmuscle defenders for the deep ball and make contested catch-and-runs like a true WR1. He struggled a bit, however, following the trade of Emmanuel Sanders, which enabled defenses to double- and triple-team him regularly with no established options opposite him. Though his targets per game were nearly identical before and after the Sanders trade, Sutton averaged 80.6 yards on 5.1 catches per game with Sanders on the roster as compared…read more

Shows WR1 ability in 2019
Sutton caught 72 of 124 targets for 1,112 yards and six touchdowns in 2019. He added 38 yards passing and 17 yards rushing on three carries.
Analysis: Sutton continued his climb to a true WR1 with an impressive sophomore campaign, improving across statistical categories. Concerning, however, was the fact that his numbers, much like the end of 2018, fell off in the absence of Emmanuel Sanders.

Comes alive in fourth quarter
Sutton caught four of 10 targets for 79 yards during Sunday's 23-3 loss in Kansas City.
Analysis: Sutton was bottled up for the bulk of Sunday's outing before catching a quick screen pass and cutting upfield for a 33-yard gain with the Broncos at their own goal line. Sutton had a nice two-touchdown game in rookie Drew Lock's debut but has just nine catches for 113 yards in the two games since. Part of that can be attributed to defenses keying on him, though Sutton also had a drop or two Sunday. Look for him to get back on track down the stretch as Denver takes on the league's 31st and…read more

Quiet in high-scoring win
Sutton caught five of seven targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 38-24 win over Houston.
Analysis: Sutton was surprisingly quiet on a day that saw rookie quarterback Drew Lock throw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns. On the bright side, Sutton was the only Denver player to see more than four targets, and it looks like Lock has the skills to get the ball to his No. 1 wide receiver consistently. Roll Sutton out with confidence against the Chiefs in Week 15.

Scores two TDs vs. Chargers
Sutton caught four of five targets for 74 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Sutton made a tremendous impact early in the game, connecting with Drew Lock for a pair of touchdowns to put his team ahead in the first quarter. The highlight of the day came on the first of the two, when he beat his defender to the outside and made the grab while diving into the end zone. Those who feared for Sutton's fantasy value with Lock at quarterback can breathe a sigh of relief for now, as the duo will enjoy a favorable matchup against the Texans next week.

Not on injury report
Sutton (ankle) doesn't appear on the Broncos' Week 13 injury report, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Sutton tweaked his ankle during Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Bills, a game in which he caught just one pass (on eight targets) for a season-low 27 yards. The issue was downplayed afterward, and his absence from Wednesday's injury report ensures that Sutton will be available Sunday against the Chargers. The Broncos' undisputed top pass catcher will look to prove that his Week 12 dud was an outlier, a reasonable exception regardless of who serves as the Broncos' quarterback this weekend.

Tweaks ankle Sunday
Sutton tweaked his ankle during Sunday's 20-3 loss at Buffalo, but coach Vic Fangio described the wide receiver as "fine" afterward, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Fangio's use of the term "tweaked" indicates Sutton aggravated a previous injury, which may be the lower-body issue that limited his reps at one Week 6 practice. As such, Sutton's activity level bears watching as he and the Broncos prepare for Sunday's divisional matchup with the Chargers.

Held to one catch
Sutton caught one of eight targets for a 27-yard gain during Sunday's 20-3 loss in Buffalo.
Analysis: Sutton snagged a 27-yard pass over the deep middle on a play-action pass during Denver's opening drive. He and Brandon Allen failed to connect on his next seven targets, as Tre'Davious White shadowed Sutton and Allen struggled to throw through the Buffalo wind. Sutton has the size and deep-play ability to win some 50-50 balls against top corners and even double coverage, but Allen's questionable ability to get the ball downfield down the stretch should concern Sutton's fantasy managers. In Week…read more

Does it all in loss
Sutton caught five of nine targets for 113 yards during Sunday's 27-23 loss in Minnesota. He added 10 rushing yards on two carries and completed a 38-yard pass.
Analysis: It was Courtland Sutton versus the Vikings in the first quarter as the sophomore brought down a 48-yard pass in double coverage and drew a 24-yard pass interference to set up Denver's first touchdown, before completing a 38-yard pass to Tim Patrick and having a nifty nine-yard run to set up a touchdown on the next drive. The Broncos continue to be middling under center, but Sutton looks like a legitimate stud on the outside. A tough matchup against Buffalo awaits Week 12, but Sunday's loss…read more

Spectacular TD grab in win
Sutton caught five of eight targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Browns. He also carried the ball once for seven yards.
Analysis: The second-year receiver opened the scoring in the first quarter with a fantastic 21-yard reception, leaping high over tight coverage from Denzel Ward to haul in Brandon Allen's first career TD pass. Sutton has now recorded at least 70 yards or a touchdown in seven straight games and in eight of nine this season, seeing between six and nine targets in every contest. However, his streak of remarkably steady fantasy production will be paused as the Broncos get their bye in Week 10.
