Courtland Sutton Has Difficult Matchup Ahead

Courtland Sutton Has Difficult Matchup Ahead

one year ago

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has exceeded expectations through the first four weeks of the 2023 season, checking in as the WR18 in half-PPR scoring with three touchdowns in four games played. He leads the team in receptions (20) and targets (28), is second in receiving yards (216) and is tied for the lead in touchdowns (three). Sutton has been quarterback Russell Wilson's go-to guy through the air, and they've both benefitted from an increase in offensive production under new head coach Sean Payton. Sutton could see a lot of shutdown cornerback Sauce Gardner in a Week 5 matchup against the New York Jets, though. The Jets D has also allowed 19.8 half-PPR points per game to receivers (second-fewest) so far this year, so fantasy managers may want to temper expectations for Sutton this Sunday.
