2023 Fantasy Outlook
Sutton turns 28 in October, at which point he'll be more than three years removed from the ACL tear he suffered Week 1 of 2020. His two seasons since then have been major disappointments, with the 2018 second-round pick turning in 776 and 829 receiving yards while scoring only two TDs both years. He's never caught 60 percent of his targets in a season, even in 2019 when he had 1,112 yards, though it's arguably excusable given that he's always dealt with poor QB play and never had an aDOT below 11.6. While Sutton isn't a burner, his 4.54 40 time was more than sufficient at 6-3, 218, and he landed top 5 among WRs at the 2018 combine in the short shuttle (4.11 sec.), three-cone drill (6.57 seconds) and broad jump (124 inches). He might have lost some of the speed and agility after his injury, and last year's lack of production with Russell Wilson at QB seems more concerning after the Denver offense improved somewhat toward end of the season with the help of a huge finish from fellow WR Jerry Jeudy — Jeudy finished with nine fewer targets than Sutton but 143 more yards and four more TDs (both played 15 games). Sutton has even been mentioned as a trade candidate, with Tim Patrick coming back from last summer's ACL tear and the Broncos using a second-round pick on Oklahoma WR Marvin Mims to give new coach Sean Payton a speedy deep threat.

Busy day in blowout loss
Sutton brought in eight of 11 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 70-20 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also lost two fumbles.
ANALYSIS
Sutton led the Broncos in receptions, receiving yards and targets on a day when Denver simply had no chance of keeping up with a juggernaut of a Dolphins offense. The veteran wideout's performance was one of the few positives for head coach Sean Payton's squad, although his two fumbles did lead to Miami touchdowns, albeit when the game was essentially out of reach. Sutton partly atoned with a 12-yard scoring grab and also set new season highs across the stat sheet. The 27-year-old has looked like a smooth fit in Payton's system thus far, and his fantasy prospects are bright going into a favorable Week 4 road matchup against the Bears.

With veteran breakout candidates all falling flat, a pair of NFC North tight ends are rapidly emerging as the league's new stars at the position.

The Dolphins rightfully get most of the headlines this week, but De'Von Achane might not be the only emerging rookie star in a high-flying AFC offense.

Christian Kirk should maintain momentum against a Houston defense without two of its top three corners, including their slot defender.

Jerry Donabedian looks at the best matchups of Week 3, including Ravens RB Gus Edwards likely taking on a larger role just in time for a home game against a vulnerable Indianapolis defense.

2020
2019
2018
Sutton initially traveled the expected path for a second-round pick, topping 700 yards as a rookie (2018) and 1,100 in his second season. Things got off track with an ACL tear Week 1 of
Year 3, and while he made it back last year to play 17 games, his receiving output was minimal. Sutton actually got off to a nice start with 471 yards and two TDs through six weeks, only to go
the rest of the year without scoring a touchdown nor reaching 70 yards in a game. Those first six weeks accounted for 54 percent of Sutton's total targets and 61 percent of his yards. And while ugly QB play helps explain the poor efficiency, it's harder to excuse Sutton's 19.0 percent target share, a massive dip compared to his 2019 breakout (25.8 percent). Sure, the Broncos had a deep group of pass catchers, but there was no dominant force among the bunch and Jerry Jeudy missed seven games. The hope now in Denver is for either Sutton, Jeudy or both to become a true No. 1 WR, with the help of new franchise QB Russell Wilson and coach Nathaniel Hackett (former Packers OC). There's competition for targets between Sutton, Jeudy and 2020 second-round pick KJ Hamler after Tim Patrick suffered a torn ACL early in training camp, but the addition of Wilson gives Sutton a nice chance to rebound and perhaps even exist simultaneously with Jeudy as a fantasy asset.
