Reaches 100 yards
Sutton recorded seven receptions on 10 targets for 113 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers.
Analysis: The Broncos have spread targets around for much of the season, but Sutton was the key pass catcher in Sunday's win. He led the team with 10 targets, his fourth time hitting that mark this season. Sutton delivered several splash plays with that opportunity, including gains of 42 and 26 yards as well as a 14-yard touchdown reception. That helped him top 100 receiving yards for the first time since Week 3 while falling only five yards short of his season high.

Leading receiver on 10 targets
Sutton corralled six of 10 targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over Las Vegas.
Analysis: The Broncos nicked and cut the Raiders' defense with a bunch of underneath routes Sunday, resulting in Sutton leading the team in targets, receptions and yardage on modest totals. The 29-year-old has been a steady fantasy option with per-game averages of 4.3 receptions and 59.5 yards to go along with five touchdowns across 13 starts. Sutton should continue providing a high floor for fantasy managers when the Broncos host the Packers next Sunday.

Nabs fifth TD grab
Sutton finished with five receptions on six targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-26 overtime win over Washington on Sunday Night Football.
Analysis: Sutton put it all together for his best receiving line since Week 4, when he finished with five receptions for 81 yards and a touchdown against the Bengals. The 29-year-old had registered just one touchdown grab over his previous seven appearances, so fantasy managers were delighted to see the wideout secure Bo Nix's lone touchdown pass in the primetime win. It was also a positive sign to see the veteran starter usurp Troy Franklin (2-21-0) in production after the inverse had held true in…read more

Four grabs in Week 11 win
Sutton caught four of eight targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 22-19 win over Kansas City.
Analysis: The veteran matched Troy Franklin in receptions and targets, but it was the second-year wideout who paced Denver with 84 receiving yards. Sutton has become the 1B to Franklin's 1A in the Broncos' passing game, and over the last six games Sutton has posted a 19-284-1 line on 37 targets compared to Franklin's 25-278-4 line on 49 targets.

Three catches in Week 10 win
Sutton secured three of four targets for 24 yards in the Broncos' 10-7 win over the Raiders on Thursday night.
Analysis: Sutton put together another quiet performance, finishing with his third sub-30-yard performance in the last five games. The veteran wideout also has four or fewer catches in four of the last five games, a stark departure from the first five games of the season, when he posted a 26-365-3 receiving line on 37 targets. Sutton should have a good chance of reverting to a higher-volume role in Week 11, however, as the Chiefs pay a visit for a critical divisional showdown on Sunday, Nov. 16.

Hauls in TD in Houston
Sutton caught just one of six targets for a 30-yard touchdown in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Texans.
Analysis: The Texans' secondary did a good job of blanketing Sutton most of the afternoon, but he was able to beat Derek Stingley down the sideline for a TD late in the second quarter. Sutton snapped a four-game scoring drought with the catch, but it's the third time in nine contests he's been held to only one grab, leaving him with a 38-566-4 line on 62 targets for the season. The veteran wideout should be much more productive against a more vulnerable defense in a Week 10 home tilt against the Raiders.

Modest line as youngsters shine
Sutton finished with four receptions on six targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 44-24 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Sutton took a back seat to Denver's younger receiving options Sunday, watching Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant and RJ Harvey collect all of Bo Nix's touchdown passes in the blowout win. The veteran starter still produced adequate receiving totals despite failing to reach the end zone, duplicating the 67.0 yards/game average he posted over his previous seven appearances. Fantasy managers are hoping Sutton can return to the end zone against the Texans in Week 9 after he scored all three of his…read more

Leading receiver on 10 targets
Sutton finished with six receptions on 10 targets for 87 yards in Sunday's 33-32 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Sutton got back on track after being held to just 17 receiving yards against the Jets in London last week. The 29-year-old helped play the role of hero when he corralled a 22-yard pass from QB Bo Nix on the penultimate play before a game-winning field goal from kicker Wil Lutz. Sutton has been providing WR2 production for fantasy managers with a 33-469-3 receiving line through seven weeks. Consider the physical wideout a plus play for next Sunday's tilt against a porous Dallas pass defense.

Struggles in tough matchup overseas
Sutton was held to one reception on three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 13-11 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Sutton traveled overseas to London for Sunday's international tilt, only to be greeted impolitely by Jets' CB Sauce Gardner once the game kicked off. The shutdown corner won his individual matchup against Sutton, holding Denver's No. 1 wideout to just one reception in the narrow victory. This was Sutton's second one-catch performance through six starts this season, which would be concerning if he hadn't posted WR1 numbers in his four other appearances. Sunday's dud can be written off as a bad…read more

Paces pass catchers in upset win
Sutton brought in eight of 10 targets for 99 yards in the Broncos' 21-17 win over the Eagles on Sunday.
Analysis: Sutton led the Broncos in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, recording a team-high 34-yard catch along the way. The veteran wideout fell just short of what would have been his second 100-yard game of the campaign, but he's now posted at least 81 receiving yards in three straight contests. Sutton figures to remain Bo Nix's top target when the Broncos travel to London to face the Jets in a Week 6 clash next Sunday.

Leading receiver on MNF
Sutton finished with five receptions (on six targets) for 81 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 28-3 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Sutton stayed hot with his second trip to the end zone in as many weeks while pacing the Broncos in receiving yards on Monday Night Football. The one-catch dud in Week 2 is proving to be an anomaly after the veteran wideout posted WR1 numbers in his three other starts this year. Expect Sutton to continue operating as QB Bo Nix's favorite target in a road matchup against the Eagles on Sunday.

Re-establishes himself as top WR
Sutton corralled six of eight targets for 118 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Sutton bounced back nicely from last week's one-catch dud, ripping off a 52-yard touchdown grab while posting his first 100-plus yard performance of the season. The 29-year-old re-established himself as Bo Nix's favorite option, finishing with four more targets than Marvin Mims and rookie Troy Franklin. Sutton will carry a healthy 13-185-2 receiving line into a Week 4 matchup against the Bengals on Monday Night Football.

Abysmal Week 2 showing
Sutton recorded one reception on four targets for six yards in Sunday's 29-28 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Bo Nix spread targets among the Denver pass catchers very evenly, with nine players targeted at least twice in the contest. While that was one factor in limiting Sutton's involvement, Troy Franklin also commanded nine targets to lead the team. It seems unlikely that Franklin will truly challenge Sutton for opportunities moving forward, but this was nevertheless a concerning performance for the latter.

Touchdown grab in Week 1
Sutton recorded six receptions on nine targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Sutton was unsurprisingly Bo Nix's favorite target and led the Broncos in targets, receptions and yards. Sutton accounted for the majority of his production on a leaping, contested 22-yard touchdown catch just before halftime. He chipped in two additional receptions that went for double-digit gains to get his 2025 campaign off to a solid start.

Impressive to close preseason
Sutton secured four of seven targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 28-19 preseason win over the Saints on Saturday afternoon.
Analysis: Sutton tied for the team lead in receptions and set the pace in receiving yards and targets on the afternoon as well. The first-team offense was supposed to be in on just 8-10 plays according to head coach Sean Payton's statements earlier in the week, but a lackluster opening drive likely drove Payton to keep the first unit out there for two additional possessions. Sutton put the extra opportunity to good use, rounding out his afternoon with a 19-yard scoring grab to close out the first unit's…read more

One grab against 49ers
Sutton caught one of three targets for two yards in Saturday's 30-9 preseason win over the 49ers.
Analysis: 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.

Signing four-year extension
Sutton and the Broncos agreed Monday to a four-year extension, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: 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.

Limiting reps during contract talks
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.
Analysis: 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…read more

Leading receiver in wild-card loss
Sutton caught five of nine targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 31-7 wild-card round loss to the Bills.
Analysis: 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…read more

Closes regular season well
Sutton recorded five receptions on seven targets for 98 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-0 win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: 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 recorded five receptions on nine targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: 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.

Sutton brought in five of six targets for 50 yards in the Broncos' 34-27 loss to the Chargers on Thursday 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.

Salvages fantasy line with late TD
Sutton caught three of nine targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Colts.
Analysis: 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.

Analysis: 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.

Goes for two scores Sunday
Sutton grabbed eight receptions (on 10 targets) for 97 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 29-19 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: 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.
Analysis: 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 now has at least Sunday's 70-yard tally in three consecutive games overall, a span during which he's also drawn 30 total targets.

Analysis: 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.

Analysis: 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.

Analysis: 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.

Analysis: Sutton led the Broncos' wide receivers in targets, though Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin were used heavily as pass catchers and diminished Sutton's volume. His most impactful contribution was a 24-yard reception midway through the fourth quarter to set up a touchdown to Josh Reynolds on the next play.

Scores game's only touchdown
Sutton caught three passes for 60 yards and one touchdown on nine targets against the Jets on Sunday.
Analysis: Between the brutal matchup and the rain, Sutton's inefficiency was understandable. There's also additional optimism to be gleaned from the fact Sutton's score was the only one of the game, and as rookie signal-caller Bo Nix gains more experience, it's certainly possible he begins to more consistently unleash Sutton's considerable talents. Sutton has a more favorable matchup awaiting in a Week 5 divisional clash against the Raiders.

Sutton had four receptions off of 12 targets for 38 yards in Sunday's Week 1 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Bo Nix's start to his career in Denver did not go well as a passer (no touchdowns and two picks), and Sutton fell victim to the effects of the rookie rollercoaster to kick off the regular season. The veteran wideout has the skills to produce big fantasy totals, but he will require improved quarterback play to do so. Those invested in Sutton should not lose faith in the wideout ahead of next Sunday's tilt against New England.

Significant role on tap in 2024
Sutton is set to be the Broncos' unquestioned No. 1 wide receiver for the 2024 campaign and has made improvements to his game this offseason, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Entering the 2024 season, Sutton is on track to operate as Denver's top receiver while serving as a reliable target for rookie quarterback Bo Nix. According to Kosmider, the veteran pass catcher often "looked like Nix's security blanket at times during training camp."

Analysis: There had been some speculation that Sutton's contract status could impact his training camp participation, but it appears as though Denver's top wide receiver will join his teammates once practices commence.

To attend minicamp
Sutton said Thursday he will attend Denver's mandatory minicamp after having skipped voluntary OTAs, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: Sutton trained privately and away from the team during OTAs, but he'll be present for the start of mandatory offseason activities next week. The wideout still appears to desire a new contract, as only $2 million is guaranteed of the roughly $27.6 million remaining on his current deal, which ties him with the Broncos for the next two season. Following the trade of Jerry Jeudy to the Browns earlier this offseason, Sutton is positioned as the clear top target for whoever starts at QB this season,…read more

No concern about OTA absence
Broncos GM George Paton suggested Thursday that he isn't worried about Sutton's absence from voluntary offseason workouts, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports. "It's 100 percent voluntary," Paton said. "It's the first week of the offseason program. I've talked to Courtland. He's in a good place, and I'll just leave it at that."
Analysis: Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported Tuesday that Sutton's absence from voluntary OTAs is related to wanting a new contract. The wideout has two years and approximately $27.6 million remaining on his current deal, with only $2 million of that guaranteed. It's not the type of situation with especially high risk for a holdout, and Sutton looks to be especially important for Denver's offense after the team traded WR Jerry Jeudy to Cleveland in the offseason. It's not yet clear who will start…read more

Not at voluntary OTAs
Sutton (ankle) wants a new contract and hasn't reported to voluntary OTAs, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Sutton has two seasons remaining on a four-year, $60 million extension, scheduled for a $13 million base salary in 2024 ($2 million guaranteed) and then $13.5 million in 2025 (no guarantees). He scored a career-high 10 touchdowns in 16 games last season, though 90 targets were his fewest since 2020 -- the year he suffered an ACL tear Week 1 -- and he still hasn't come close to matching his career-high 1,112 yards from 2019. The 28-year-old won't necessarily hold out from mandatory team…read more

Catches one pass in loss
Sutton played 28 snaps on offense and caught one of four targets for two yards in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Raiders before departing with an ankle injury.
Analysis: Though the ankle injury spelled an early end to his final appearance of the season, the veteran wideout will presumably be fully healthy for Denver's offseason program. Sutton finished the 2023 campaign with team highs in both catches (59) and receiving yards (772) while also scoring a career-high 10 touchdowns in 16 appearances. The 28-year-old operated as the team's No. 1 receiver and a focal point of their passing game, leading Denver with 90 targets and 48.3 receiving yards per game.…read more

Cleared to play in season finale
Sutton (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Analysis: Sutton's lack of injury designation suggests he has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. He missed the Week 17 win over the Chargers and was limited in practice Wednesday but upgraded to full participation Thursday and Friday. Sutton caught 10 touchdown passes from Russell Wilson in 15 games prior to getting injured, but he'll have Jarrett Stidham as his quarterback for the season finale with Wilson benched.

Returns to limited practice
Sutton (concussion) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Sutton didn't practice at all last week before being ruled out ahead of Broncos' Week 17 win over the Chargers. The wideout's return to a limited session Wednesday has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's season finale against the Raiders, but with Denver eliminated from playoff contention, the team has little incentive to play Sutton this weekend if there's any doubt about his status as game day approaches.

Ruled out for Week 17
Coach Sean Payton said Friday that Sutton (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Chargers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Sutton departed in the first half of this past Sunday's loss to the Patriots and eventually was diagnosed with a concussion. He proceeded to miss practice both Wednesday and Thursday before the Broncos made a decision on his availability for Week 17. With Sutton sitting out Sunday, the Broncos' receiving corps should be paced by Jerry Jeudy, with Brandon Johnson, Lil'Jordan Humphrey and potentially Marvin Mims (hamstring) mixing in behind him.

Sutton (concussion) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Sutton thus has one more chance to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. If he's unable to gain clearance to play this weekend, Jerry Jeudy, Marvin Mims (hamstring), Brandon Johnson and Lil'Jordan Humphrey would profile as quarterback Jarrett Stidham's top targets at receiver in Week 17.

Not able to practice
Sutton (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Ryan McFadden of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: Sutton's absence was to be expected less than 72 hours after he suffered a concussion in the first half of Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Patriots. If he clears the five-step concussion protocol ahead of this weekend's game against the Chargers, Sutton will be on the receiving end of passes from Jarrett Stidham rather than Russell Wilson, who has been moved to the bench for Denver's final two games of the season.

Head coach Sean Payton confirmed after Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Patriots that Sutton is in concussion protocol, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Sutton was forced out early in the first half and didn't return, finishing the contest with zero catches on one target over just nine snaps. The wideout will now have six days to potentially clear the five-step protocol ahead of the Broncos' Week 17 game Dec. 31 versus the Chargers.

Records 71 yards
Sutton recorded five receptions on six targets for 71 yards in Saturday's 42-17 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Sutton has been productive primarily by reaching the end zone this season. While he failed to do so Saturday, he led the team in receptions and tallied four catches that went for double-digit gains. Sutton's performance marked the fourth time he's topped 70 yards this season but for only the second time in six games since Denver's Week 9 bye.

Seventh TD in last eight games
Sutton caught three of four targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-7 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Most of Sutton's production came on a sensational 46-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter, which he made with one hand despite being interfered with. It was the 10th touchdown catch of the season for Denver's top receiver, who has scored in seven of his last eight games. Sutton will look to build on his recent success in Saturday's Week 15 matchup with the Lions.

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.

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.

Sutton had two receptions on three targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-9 win over Kansas City.

The good news for fantasy GMs is that both players were able to cash in touchdowns despite seeing fewer targets than usual.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

He tore his ACL early in the 2020 season, then scored only two touchdowns in each of the 2021 and 2022 campaigns.

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.

Optimistic about playing Sunday

""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.

Analysis: Sutton, who last suited up Week 13, didn't practice last week, but if the wideout is able to take the field in the coming days, it's possible that he could return to the lineup this weekend. Prior to his injury, Sutton had put together a 52-688-1 line on 89 targets through 12 contests.

Not slated to play Sunday
Sutton (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Cardinals, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com and Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post report.
Analysis: The same goes for Kendall Hinton (hamstring), which sets the stage for Jerry Jeudy to lead the Broncos' Week 15 wideout corps, with Brandon Johnson, Jalen Virgil, Montrell Washington and Freddie Swain also in the mix to catch passes this weekend from QB Brett Rypien, who will be filling in for Russell Wilson (concussion).

Still not practicing
Sutton (hamstring) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Before giving Sutton a designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, the Broncos will wait and see if the receiver can log any reps during their final Week 15 practice Friday. However, with Sutton having sat out last week's loss to the Chiefs and not practicing in any fashion yet this week, his chances of suiting up versus Arizona don't seem promising. In addition to Sutton, the Broncos could be down another key receiver in Kendall Hinton, who also sat out for the second day in a row…read more

Missing another practice
Sutton (hamstring) isn't practicing Wednesday, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Analysis: Sutton missed Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Chiefs, during which Jerry Jeudy stepped up to score a trio of touchdowns. Quarterback Russell Wilson suffered a concussion during the contest and isn't practicing Wednesday, but he may have better odds than Sutton of suiting up in this Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Sutton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: With Sutton unavailable, Kendall Hinton and Brandon Johnson are candidates to log added snaps for the Broncos this weekend alongside Jerry Jeudy (ankle), who profiles as the team's top wideout. Sutton will now target a potential return to action Week 15 against the Cardinals.

Sutton (hamstring) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Ellie Kinney of the Broncos' official site reports.

Unlikely to play this week
Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett said Sutton (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday and is "not looking good" for Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Sutton didn't play in the second half of Sunday's 10-9 loss to Baltimore, leaving Jerry Jeudy, Kendall Hinton and Brandon Johnson as Denver's top three wide receivers. Jeudy played limited snaps his first game back from an ankle injury, but he now looks like the favorite to lead Denver in targets Sunday against the Chiefs with Sutton expected to sit out.

Deemed day-to-day by Hackett
Coach Nathaniel Hackett termed Sutton (hamstring) "day-to-day" Monday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Sutton exited Sunday's 10-9 loss at Baltimore with a hamstring injury, leaving him without a catch on his only target on a 43 percent share of snaps. On Monday, Mike Klis of 9 News Denver reported that Sutton was slated for an MRI and could be in danger of missing multiple games. While the results of the exam aren't yet known, Hackett's comment seems to indicate Sutton avoided the worst-case scenario.

Could face multi-game absence
Sutton is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday, and the Broncos have some concern that he could miss multiple games after exiting the team's Week 13 loss to the Ravens with a hamstring injury, Mike Klis of 9 News Denver reports.
Analysis: Not only did Sutton disappoint fantasy managers by going without a reception across his 23 snaps on offense in Sunday's 10-9 loss to Baltimore, he looks as though he could be at risk of missing time during the fantasy playoffs on account of the hamstring issue that sidelined him for the entire second half of the contest.

Sutton is questionable to return Sunday against the Ravens due to a hamstring injury.

Good to go Sunday
Sutton (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Sutton was added to the Broncos' injury report with a questionable designation after an illness prevented him from practicing Friday. The 27-year-old showed good progress when he was re-evaluated Saturday, however, and he's now been cleared to take the field Sunday. Expect Sutton to step back into his usual starting role for the Broncos, though he could get some more competition for targets with fellow wideout Jerry Jeudy (ankle) making his return from a two-game absence.

Optimism for Sunday
Sutton, who is listed as questionable with an illness, progressed well Saturday and is trending toward playing Sunday against the Ravens, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Analysis: The Broncos didn't change the injury status of their star wide receiver and also promoted wide receiver Brandon Johnson to the active roster, but Sutton still appears to have progressed to a point where he'll available for Sunday's contest.

Questionable due to illness
Coach Nathaniel Hackett said Sutton is questionable for Sunday's game in Baltimore due to an illness, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Unfortunately, Denver's offense struggled through most of the contest, as was the case in Week 1.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Five grabs in Week 7 loss
Sutton secured all five targets for 68 yards in the Broncos' 17-14 loss to the Browns on Thursday night.
Analysis: The star wideout tied with Noah Fant for second on the team in receptions, and his yardage total, fueled by a team-high 31-yard grab, easily paced either club on the night. Sutton did see a notable drop from the 14 targets he'd logged Week 6 against the Raiders, but it wasn't unexpected on a night when Teddy Bridgewater only put up 33 attempts and targeted nine different players. Sutton will look to bounce back with a bump in his overall numbers against the vulnerable Washington secondary in a…read more

Draws 14 targets
Sutton caught eight receptions for 94 yards and one touchdown on 14 targets against Las Vegas on Sunday.
Analysis: It wasn't the most efficient effort for Sutton (57.1 percent catch rate, 6.7 yards per target), but the fact that Teddy Bridgewater looked Sutton's way on 28.6 percent of Denver's pass attempts is a testament to his workhorse-level talent at receiver. Other than a three-target game in Week 1, Sutton has drawn heavy usage in 2021, and he heads into his seventh game with 471 yards and two touchdowns to his credit. Sutton has been impressive in his return from his 2020 knee injury, to the point…read more

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.

Suits up Sunday
Sutton (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Analysis: Sutton suffered a sprained ankle during practice Friday, but he'll give it a go Sunday, which is a big boost for a Denver pass-catching corps that is minus WRs Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and KJ Hamler (knee) along with TE Albert Okwuegbunam (hamstring), who are all on IR. As long as his ankle holds up, Sutton and Tim Patrick should head the team's wideout corps in Week 5, with tight end Noah Fant also slated to be a key target for QB Teddy Bridgewater.

Sunday status up in air
Sutton, who is listed as a questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, suffered a sprained ankle during practice Friday that isn't considered overly serious, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Analysis: Klis notes that Sutton will make the trip to Pittsburgh with his teammates, but the receiver's gameday status will hinge on how he feels Sunday morning. Fortunately for those considering the Broncos' top wideout in fantasy lineups, the team kicks off at 1 p.m. ET this week among the early wave of games.

Sutton rolled his ankle in practice Friday and will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: We'll track Sutton's status as Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff approaches, but if he's unable to suit up this weekend, Tim Patrick would profile as Denver's top wideout in Week 5, with Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and KJ Hamler (knee) both on IR. Also in the team's wideout mix are Kendall Hinton, David Moore and Diontae Spencer (chest/questionable).

Quiet in loss
Sutton caught three of eight targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: It was a rough day at the office for Sutton and the Broncos as the team struggled to get much going on offense, especially once Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) left the game. Sutton's eight targets were the second highest of any Denver pass catcher, however. Despite the lackluster fantasy day, the wideout remains the focal point of a passing attack that has been depleted by injuries so far in 2021. The 6-foot-4, 216-pounder will look to get back on track in Week 5 when the Broncos visit the…read more

Limited in blowout win
Sutton recorded five receptions on five targets for 37 yards in Sunday's Week 3 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Sutton couldn't follow up his impressive Week 2 performance, though that was largely because of game script. Teddy Bridgewater attempted only 25 passes as the Broncos led comfortably for much of the game. Sutton did the majority of his work in short areas of the field, as his longest catch of the day went for 14 yards and served as his only reception that went for 10 or more yards. Despite the down performance, Sutton continues to play a major role in the offense, and he could see more…read more

Full practice on tap
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."

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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: 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.

Analysis: As Monday night's season opener against the Titans approaches, Sutton is considered day-to-day with a sprained AC joint in his shoulder. If Denver's top wideout is out or limited at all Week 1, added targets would be available for rookie starter Jerry Jeudy as well as returnees Tim Patrick and DaeSean Hamilton.

Sprained AC joint in shoulder
Sutton is considered day-to-day with a sprained AC joint in his shoulder, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Analysis: As Klis points out, it could have been worse, but now the Broncos' top wideout has to be considered questionable for Monday night's season opener against the Titans. If Sutton is out or limited at all in Week 1, added targets would be available for rookie starter Jerry Jeudy, along with Tim Patrick and DaeSean Hamilton.

MRI on shoulder scheduled
Sutton will undergo an MRI on the shoulder he injured during Thursday's practice, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Sutton was unable to finish Thursday's session after hurting himself while making a catch. The wideout's status must now be carefully monitored as Monday night's game against the Titans approaches. If Sutton is limited or out in Week 1, added looks would be available for rookie starter Jerry Jeudy, as well as Tim Patrick and DaeSean Hamilton.

Exits practice early
Sutton was forced out of practice early Thursday with an apparent shoulder injury, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Analysis: Per the report, the Broncos' top wideout "stayed down for moment" after making a catch in practice. He then "shook his right shoulder a little bit" before heading to the locker room with a trainer. Look for an update on Sutton's status no later than when the team's Thursday injury report is posted.

Poised to reprise key role
Nick Kosmider of The Athletic calls Sutton the "best player on the Broncos offense right now."
Analysis: Kosmider mentions this in the context of the attention being paid to promising first-rounder Jerry Jeudy, whose presence should help open things up for Sutton, who was targeted an average of 9.3 times over the course of his final three games in 2019. With an offseason that won't include any preseason action, Sutton's pre-existing chemistry with Drew Lock "figures to be something (the second-year signal-caller) will lean on heavily at the start of the season." Sutton logged a 72/1,112/6 stat…read more

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. In seven games with Sanders opposite him, Sutton averaged 5.1 catches on 7.7 targets per game for 80.6 yards and 0.4 touchdowns. In nine games without Sanders, Sutton averaged 4.0 catches on 7.8 targets per game for 60.9 yards and 0.3 touchdowns as pass…read more

Snags four passes in win
Sutton caught four of eight targets for 52 yards during Sunday's 16-15 win over the Raiders. He temporarily left the game with a head injury but returned, Brandon Krisztal of KOA Colorado reports.
Analysis: The Broncos weren't doing much on offense early in the contest when Sutton skied for a 19-yard reception between two defenders in the second quarter, kick-starting a field-goal drive. Sutton ended 2019 with 72 catches for 1,112 yards and six touchdowns. His full value is not reflected in the numbers as he drew 13 defensive penalties this season, second-best in the league, but he slowed down the stretch as teams endeavored to take him away with Denver lacking other established weapons. He was…read more

Analysis: Prior to his exit, Sutton hauled in four of his eight targets for 52 yards. In his absence, DaeSean Hamilton and Tim Patrick are next up for the Broncos' wideout targets.

Held in check by Lions
Sutton reeled in five of 10 targets for 41 receiving yards during Sunday's 27-17 win against Detroit.
Analysis: The second-year wideout from SMU has banked 10 targets in each of his past two outings after failing to exceed nine targets in any game between Weeks 1 and 14. Though Sutton has seen elevated involvement of late, his production has been down over the past three weeks with Drew Lock commanding the offense. Sutton racked up 74 yards and two touchdowns in their first mutual start Week 13 against the Chargers, but since then he has averaged just 51.3 receiving yards per game with zero scores. Prior…read more

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.
