Courtland Sutton Fantasy

The Denver Broncos converted $10.5 million of wide receiver Courtland Sutton's contract into a signing bonus, creating $7.875 million in salary cap space for the 2022 season. The Broncos have cleared nearly $12.5 million salary cap space for this year over the last two days. They also restructured fellow wideout Tim Patrick's deal on Saturday. Sutton and the Broncos agreed to a four-year, $60.8 million contract extension last November. The 26-year-old stayed healthy in 2021, but became an afterthought in the offense when Jerry Jeudy returned around midseason from an ankle sprain. In 17 games, Sutton had 58 receptions for 776 yards and only two touchdowns. But with quarterback Russell Wilson now in town, fantasy managers will be expecting a bounce-back season from Sutton in 2022.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton continued his second-half fall in the Week 18 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday when he caught just one of three targets for 13 yards. Sutton was looking good early in the season, considering he missed most of last year with a torn ACL, but once Jerry Jeudy returned from a high ankle sprain in Week 8, Sutton's season took a nosedive. In the first seven games, he had 38 catches for 539 yards and two touchdowns on 58 targets. In the final 10 games, Sutton caught 20 of 40 targets for 237 yards and no touchdowns. It's a disturbing trend that must be considered heading into 2022. Jeudy and Patrick aren't going anywhere, so unless the Broncos make a notable upgrade at quarterback this offseason, Sutton won't be particularly attractive as a WR3, at best.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton was the unquestioned No. 1 receiver in last week's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers with both Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick on the COVID-19 list. Sutton responded with one of his best games in a while, but it was still rather disappointing from a fantasy perspective, as he hauled in three of his five targets for 60 yards. The 26-year-old hasn't found the end zone since Week 6 and has produced 19 receptions for 224 yards and no TDs on 37 targets in his last nine games. Quarterback Drew Lock seems to like throwing to Sutton a bit more than Teddy Bridgewater did, but with Jeudy and Patrick back in the fold this Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs, Sutton will become less attractive again as a WR4/flex.
