Sutton had double-digit touchdowns for the first time in his career last season, scoring 10 times. That boosted his fantasy production because of the rest of his numbers weren't great. Sutton was just 35th overall in fantasy receiver scoring despite all the scores. He did not have a single 100-yard receiving game and finished with fewer than 800-receiving yards. Sutton has fewer than 830 yards each of the last three seasons. With the Broncos having struggles in the passing game, Sutton just hasn't produced as expected. He gets another new quarterback to work with this season, but remains a big part of the passing game. Sutton has a great combination of size and speed. He does a good job of making the catch above the defenders. He is a tall, strong target. He lacks a little polish, but has made strides since entering the league.
FANTASY OUTLOOK: Sutton is a tough fantasy player to gauge. The potential is certainly there for a huge season, but his work the last few years is a concern. He is not a sure thing. Take him as a No. 3 fantasy receiver and hope for a breakout season. He can get around 70 receptions for 900 yards and seven touchdowns.
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton finished 2022 with his best campaign since his 1,000-yard season in 2019, but he only managed to score two times for the second straight season. In his second year working with Russell Wilson in 2023, Sutton had fewer catches (59) and receiving yards (772) in 16 games (14 starts), but he more than made up for it by being Wilson's go-to target in the red zone and finishing with a career-high 10 touchdowns. It was the best the 28-year-old has looked since tearing his ACL in 2020. Jerry Jeudy is now gone, making Sutton the unquestioned WR1 in Denver, but he'll be working with a new QB in 2024 and is likely to be hit hard with regression in the TD department. Even with his 10 scores in 2023, Sutton finished as the WR30 in half-PPR leagues. Sutton is going to need more targets to offset the inevitable TD regression, but even more targets may not make him a trustworthy WR3/flex on a weekly basis in offense with more question marks than answers.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton led the team with 35 receiving yards on two catches (three targets) in the team's 34-30 win over the hosting Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday in the preseason opener. Sutton had a catch apiece from quarterback Jarrett Stidham and rookie first-rounder Bo Nix. Coming off a career-best 10-touchdown season in 2023, Sutton is Denver's clear No. 1 wideout, especially with Jerry Jeudy no longer in town. The 28-year-old former second-round pick in 2018 out of SMU shouldn't lack for target volume in 2024, but he's due some serious touchdown regression and will be at the mercy of how efficient the Broncos' offense is under either Stidham or the rookie Nix. Sutton will have more fantasy upside as a WR4/flex if Nix is able to win the starting gig under center to begin the regular season.
From RotoBaller
The Denver Broncos added $1.5 million in incentives on Thursday to wide receiver Courtland Sutton's contract for the 2024 season. Sutton still has two years left on his current deal. The 28-year-old was set to make $13.6 million this year and $14 million in 2025 and was a potential training camp holdout candidate, but he has reported this week and now has added incentives to be productive for the Broncos. Not only will Sutton be losing quarterback Russell Wilson, who he had developed considerable chemistry with, but he'll now be taking passes from either Jarrett Stidham or rookie Bo Nix in 2024. Volume shouldn't be the problem as Denver's unquestioned top pass-catcher, but efficiency probably will be, as well as some serious touchdown regression after he put up a career-high 10 scores. Sutton profiles as a low-upside WR4/flex in 2024.
From RotoBaller
Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton agreed to a restructured contract that can pay him up to $15.2 million in 2024, including $1.5 million in new incentives, according to sources Thursday, July 25.
Fantasy Spin: Sutton should be viewed as a WR3 option in drafts given the shaky offense and questionable options at quarterback.
From TheHuddle
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton will report to the team for the start of training camp. Sutton staged a holdout this spring, but his absence won't extend into camp. His contract doesn't expire until 2025. The 28-year-old wideout hauled in a career-high 10 touchdown passes in 16 games for the Broncos last year, good for a ridiculous 16.9% rate over his 59 receptions (90 targets), so regression in the scoring column is certainly due. Still, Sutton is Denver's clear-cut alpha target for whoever is under center this fall following Jerry Jeudy's offseason departure, and he should be treated as a volume-based WR3 in drafts this summer.
From RotoBaller
Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton intends to report to the start of training camp despite his desire to receive a contract extension, according to comments from head coach Sean Payton on Tuesday, July 23.
Fantasy Spin: It has been an eventful offseason for Sutton, but it appears as if he will enter the preseason where he was at the end of the last season: as the Broncos' unquestioned top receiver. The biggest difference this year is that he is unlikely to benefit from the same kind of trust throws that Russell Wilson afforded him at times in 2023. Expect a mostly conservative offense led by either Jarrett Stidham or rookie first-round pick Bo Nix, which figures to make Sutton more of a hit-or-miss WR3 option in fantasy most weeks.
From TheHuddle
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton refused to comment on whether he plans to attend training camp, according to Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com. Sutton, who is still seeking a contract extension but remains in a "stalemate" with the Broncos, admitted he considered skipping minicamp. He remains optimistic about getting an extension signed before training camp begins. "We'll see what happens,'' Sutton said. "We've got a month to be able to get things situated and hopefully things get situated. ... This is where I want to be, this is home, this is where I want to hoist the Lombardi trophy, this is where I want to retire.'' The 28-year-old is coming off a relatively modest 2024 campaign in which he caught 59 passes for 772 yards but did record a career-high 10 touchdowns. With Jerry Jeudy shipped off to Cleveland, Sutton is in line to operate as Denver's No. 1 wide receiver. However, a quarterback room featuring Bo Nix, Jarrett Stidham, and Zach Wilson leaves a lot to be desired. Inconsistent quarterback play could keep Sutton in the WR3 tier for fantasy football this year.
From RotoBaller
Even though Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton showed up for mandatory minicamp this week after being absent at voluntary organized team activities, he hinted that he could hold out of training camp next month as he seeks a long-term contract extension. He's entering the third year of a four-year, $60.8 million extension that he signed back in 2021. Sutton has a $13 million salary in 2024 with only $2 million guaranteed. The 28-year-old wants a bigger contract after scoring a career-high 10 touchdowns in 2023. "You know we'll see, we'll see what happens," Sutton said when asked if he'll show up for training camp if his contract negotiations remain at a stalemate. Sutton will be the unquestioned WR1 in Denver now that Jerry Jeudy is gone, but the QB situation isn't ideal, and he will be facing major regression in the TD department in 2024.
From RotoBaller
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (ankle) said he had ankle surgery this offseason in Florida. On another topic, Sutton said his representatives and the team are discussing a contract extension, but they are in a "stalemate." This explains why the 28-year-old pass-catcher hasn't been present for organized team activities this offseason. Sutton is feeling good, though, and should be ready for training camp next month and the start of the 2024 regular season. Contract-wise, he still has two years left on his deal, but only $2 million in guarantees. Sutton tore his ACL in 2020 and hasn't been able to come close to his 2019 Pro Bowl form, when he produced a career-high 1,112 receiving yards. He did have a career-high 10 touchdowns in 16 games for the Broncos last year, but fantasy managers should expect a lot of regression with quarterback Russell Wilson no longer in town.
From RotoBaller
Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton said he wants to stay with the Broncos for his entire career but is not ruling out the possibility of holding out of training camp depending on his contract situation.
Fantasy Spin: Sutton skipped the voluntary workouts because of his contract, so fantasy players will need to monitor the situation leading up to training camp. He will be a starter if he remains with the Broncos but may not be a strong fantasy option.
From TheHuddle
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton was a no-show at voluntary workouts as he continues to seek a new contract. During an appearance on the DNVR Broncos Podcast, however, Sutton said that he will be reporting to mandatory minicamp. If he skipped minicamp as well, he was facing a fine of up to $100k. After Jerry Jeudy's departure, Sutton is the defacto number one receiver and he shouldn't have an issue commanding targets in this offense. The biggest question mark is playing with a rookie quarterback in Bo Nix, so fantasy managers may see Sutton take a step back in fantasy production.
From RotoBaller
Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton skipped voluntary organized team activities in May but told reporters on Thursday, June 6, that he will be present for mandatory minicamp next week.
Fantasy Spin: Sutton is expected to begin the season as the clear top receiver in Denver. However, head coach Sean Payton has talked up Marvin Mims enough this spring for fantasy managers to believe he can take that title from Sutton sooner rather than later. Regardless, Sutton should be - at worst - a serviceable WR4 with WR3 upside most weeks.
From TheHuddle
Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton has been absent from the offseason workouts because he is looking for a new contract, but head coach Sean Payton said he expects Sutton to report for the mandatory minicamp next week.
Fantasy Spin: Fantasy players can monitor the situation to see if Sutton will be on the field next week or if he will hold out until training camp. He will be the main receiver for the Broncos if he remains with the team and can be a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver in fantasy leagues.
From TheHuddle
Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton is seeking a contract worth about $15-$16 million annually, according to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler.
Fantasy Spin: Sutton had a 90-772-10 season last year and came in as the WR35 in PPR leagues. He'll be the top option to throw to in Denver, but there isn't a lot of upside there as a low-end WR3.
From TheHuddle
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton is not present for voluntary organized team activities this week as he seeks a new contract. "There isn't any concern. Here's why," head coach Sean Payton said. "That will sort itself out." General manager George Paton previously said the team wasn't worried about Sutton's absence from voluntary workouts. The 28-year-old has two years and around $27.6 million remaining on his current deal, with just $2 million guaranteed. The former second-rounder in 2018 out of SMU will be the clear No. 1 wideout in Denver in 2024 after catching 59 passes for 772 yards and a career-high 10 touchdowns in 16 games in 2023. The competition for targets won't be a problem, especially with Jerry Jeudy now gone, but Denver's QB situation and Sutton's likely touchdown regression are what fantasy managers will be worried about.
From RotoBaller
Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton was not present for the voluntary workout Thursday, May 23.
Fantasy Spin: Sutton has been skipping the offseason workouts but likely will return to the team for their mandatory minicamp in a few weeks. He likely will be the main option in the passing game for the Broncos in 2024 and could be a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver in fantasy leagues.
From TheHuddle
The Denver Broncos continued voluntary offseason workouts on Monday. However, the team remains without wide receiver Courtland Sutton, who continues to work out at his residence in Florida. The veteran has two years left on a four-year, $60 million extension, but has made it clear he wants a raise. He also requested a trade, although the team is apparently not looking to move him. Of course, there will be updates on the situation moving ahead. Yet, it won't be as much of a concern until the summer when Denver begins training camp. With that said, several teams will monitor things, especially with Sutton coming off a massive year, which included a career-high 10 touchdowns. But if he stays with the Broncos, his fantasy outlook is directly related to how Bo Nix and Zach Wilson look heading into the 2024-25 campaign.
From RotoBaller
Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton is not participating in the voluntary workouts this offseason.
Fantasy Spin: The Broncos have said they will not be trading Sutton, so he will be the main receiver for the team in 2024. He should see a good amount of targets each game and can be a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver in fantasy leagues.
From TheHuddle
The Los Angeles Rams and Pittsburgh Steelers expressed interest in trading for Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton before and during the 2024 NFL Draft, according to a source.
Fantasy Spin: Ultimately, Denver decided to keep Sutton because the organization believes that he and QB Bo Nix can become a new version of QB Drew Brees and WR Michael Thomas, both of whom played for current Broncos head coach Sean Payton when he was with the New Orleans Saints. Sutton had 10 touchdowns last season and can be viewed as a solid WR3 option in most fantasy leagues.
From TheHuddle
The Denver Broncos have been contacted by several NFL teams regarding the availability of WR Courtland Sutton, according to multiple sources. However, they have no plans to trade him, even though he has been skipping voluntary workouts because of his contract situation.
Fantasy Spin: Sutton is slated to earn a base salary of $13 million for the 2024 season, with $2 million of guaranteed money, and is looking for a contract adjustment based on his role as a team leader amid a period of instability at the quarterback position. Despite the less-than-ideal situation from a fantasy standpoint, he still managed to reach the end zone 10 times last season and can be viewed as a serviceable WR3 in most leagues.
From TheHuddle
The Denver Broncos don't sound too concerned with wide receiver Courtland Sutton missing the start of the team's voluntary offseason workouts earlier this week. "It's 100 percent voluntary. It's the first week of the offseason program. Sean has talked to Courtland; I've talked to Courtland. He's in a good place, and I'll just leave it at that," general manager George Paton said. Sutton reportedly didn't show up because he wants a new contract, especially after scoring a career-high 10 touchdowns in 2023. The 28-year-old has two years left on his current deal, but only $2 million is guaranteed. We have a ways to go before this comes an official holdout, but fantasy managers should expect plenty of regression in the TD department. Sutton should see plenty of targets with Jerry Jeudy now gone, but the QB situation in Denver is one of the worst in the league.
