News: 2 days agoSutton secured two of five targets for 11 yards in the Broncos' 31-10 loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.

Spin: Sutton, along with the rest of the Broncos offense, endured a miserable night, and the veteran receiver tied for the second-fewest receptions and third-fewest yards among Denver pass catchers to record at least one grab. Sutton also was the intended receiver on Bo Nix's early-game interception, making it an all-around throwaway season-opening performance. Sutton's first chance to atone comes in Denver's Week 2 home opener Sunday, which sees a talented Jaguars team come into the Mile High City.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: After producing one season with 1,000 yards and a top-20 fantasy finish during his first six NFL campaigns, Sutton has achieved both in each of the past two years. The 2018 second-round pick's target share actually dipped from 24% in 2024 to 21% in 2025, but he remained heavily involved near the goal line and has now ranked in the top 12 among receivers in TDs each of the last three seasons. In fact, Sutton has now finished in the top 10 at the position in end zone targets four years in a row, tying for third with 56 during the span. Sutton will remain one of Bo Nix's go-to targets, but now 30 years old and with added target competition in Jaylen Waddle, he's best valued as a fantasy WR3.
