BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: Getting goose-egged by a healthy wide receiver in a blowout win is one of the biggest red flags you can get from a player. Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton did just that in Week 7. There's little reason to have confidence in him overall.
Despite this, he'll play against the Carolina Panthers in Week 8, who have one of the worst overall defenses in the NFL. It wouldn't be surprising to see him make a few splash plays. But the potential for getting blanked seems just as imminent. His quarterback, Bo Nix, didn't even throw it to him in their last contest.

Maybe at some point this QB and WR will establish a better connection, but the rookie signal-caller hasn't been a good passer this season. He has averaged just 178 passing yards per game and has five passing touchdowns to five interceptions. He also has a lot of things he needs to clean up before he can become a reliable thrower for his players.
Outside of very deep leagues, this isn't a player you should have in your lineups. If you're a sicko, you can read this great breakdown from PFF on why Sutton should at least expect a few more targets this week. But if the connection isn't there with Nix, and it sure seems like it isn't, it's not worth taking a chance on him as a starter in your leagues.
