News: 3 days agoSutton brought in six of nine targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 16-14 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

Spin: Sutton led the Broncos in receptions, receiving yards and targets while also recording his third touchdown catch of the season on an impressive 32-yard grab just past the midway point of the second quarter. Sutton now has at least Sunday's 70-yard tally in three consecutive games overall, a span during which he's also drawn 30 total targets. The veteran receiver should continue playing a key role during a Week 11 home matchup against an inconsistent Falcons secondary.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Following along with what was a team-wide theme, Sutton fell short of expectations again in 2023, marking three consecutive seasons he has failed to crack the positional top 30 in fantasy points despite pacing the Broncos in both routes run and targets. Though his career-best 10 touchdowns were a bright spot, advanced measures deemed it a fortunate total. And since he entered the season with just 14 TDs in 65 career games, it was quite a surprise. Sutton enters his age-29 season working with his ninth different quarterback, and one probably a step down talent-wise from Russell Wilson. Still, the offseason trade of Jerry Jeudy opens up some targets and paves the way for Sutton to be the Broncos' receiving alpha dog. He's best drafted as a WR3 with potential receptions upside.
