BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has struggled to produce both on the field and in fantasy football this season, but he showed a slight glimpse of turning things around last week when he caught seven of 11 targets for 68 total yards.
Any optimism that Sutton will build on that performance this week should be tempered as Sutton faces off against the New York Jets and star cornerback Sauce Gardner. Sutton already has a low 44.4 percent catch rate this season, so running routes against Gardner will only make his job harder.

On a more promising note, Sutton ranks eighth among wide receivers in air yards this season, as well as third in red zone targets and ninth in expected fantasy points per game. These metrics suggest that although he hasn't been dominant through the first three weeks, there are enough opportunities and volume to put him on the fantasy radar.
As a result, managers should only feel comfortable plugging Sutton into their lineups as a WR4 or perhaps low-end WR3/FLEX. We know that he's capable of producing major results (he scored 10 touchdowns last year), but he's been disappointing early this season, and a matchup against Gardner doesn't make his life any easier.
