Courtland Sutton Has An Opportunity To Shine In Week 1
1 year agoMuch of Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton's Week 1 fantasy value against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders will depend on whether or not Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) is able to suit up. If Jeudy is out or limited in any way, Sutton figures to be quarterback Russell Wilson's go-to target, not just on 50-50 jump balls down the field against a suspect Raiders secondary. The 27-year-old former second-rounder had 64 catches on 109 targets for 829 yards and two touchdowns in 15 starts last year, but new head coach Sean Payton's offense should allow Sutton and the rest of the receivers to bounce back in 2023. If Jeudy cannot gain clearance to play this Sunday, Sutton will have clear WR2 upside to kick off the season.
