Courtland Sutton A Touchdown-Dependent WR4/Flex Against Bucs

Courtland Sutton A Touchdown-Dependent WR4/Flex Against Bucs

2 months ago

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton comes into the Week 3 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers looking for his first score of the year after finding the end zone a career-high 10 times in 2023. Through two games in 2024, Sutton has a weak 31.3% catch rate while working with rookie quarterback Bo Nix, catching only five of his 16 targets for 64 yard while seeing Josh Reynolds lead the team in receiving yards. It doesn't help Sutton's cause this weekend that rookie Devaughn Vele (ribs), who caught all eight of his targets in the Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, is returning after a one-game absence. The 28-year-old finished fifth on the team in targets last Sunday against Pittsburgh and caught just one pass for 26 yards. It's still early, but Sutton doesn't appear to have great chemistry right now with the struggling Nix.
