Courtland Sutton

Courtland Sutton caught 5-of-9 targets for 75 yards in the Broncos’ Wild Card loss to the Bills.

Four years removed from his 2020 torn ACL and getting the best quarterback play of his career from rookie Bo Nix, Sutton revived for his first 1,000-yard campaign since 2019, easily taking command of an undermanned receiver corps. Sutton’s 81 receptions were a new career high by nine, as he proved comfortable as more than just a sideline hand fighter. It was a long-overdue sight to see, but Sutton also benefited from an acute lack of target competition, including in the backfield. Soon to be on the wrong side of 30 and certain to face a tougher battle for looks, it’s tempting to label Sutton an early 2025 fade, though Nix should improve as a sophomore. Sutton ultimately feels like a safe WR3 who could still crack the top 24 as he heads into a contract year.
