BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3
ANALYSIS: Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton comes into this week's game against the Cleveland Browns in a bit of an odd position. He's scored a touchdown in five consecutive games, but he hasn't really been racking up the receiving yardage all year, as he's averaging 49.9 receiving yards per game. That's 5.4 yards per game fewer than last season despite the fact that he's scored four times as many touchdowns in 2023.
This week, Sutton also has a really tough matchup. The Browns have allowed fewer fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers than any other team has.
In fact, the Browns have allowed just nine touchdown passes all season, making them one of two teams to allow fewer than one passing score per game. They only allow 143.7 passing yards per game; second place in that stat is Kansas City, which allows 170.8.
Basically, this is an awful matchup for the entire Broncos passing attack. Sutton's got upside based on his red zone usage, but there's a good chance that his touchdown streak ends on Sunday. If that's the case and he has to rely on yardage to maintain fantasy value, it might be a long day for Sutton's fantasy managers.
