Is Courtland Sutton Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton entered the season as one of the players that fantasy managers were very excited about because of the perceived upgrade at quarterback. The hope was he could be a potential top-12 receiver, which unfortunately has not panned out.

We knew he'd be splitting time with Jerry Jeudy, but we didn't anticipate how poor the play of Russell Wilson would be, along with the offense as a whole. The Broncos are averaging 13.8 points per game, which is the fewest in the NFL. They're also ranked 28th in offensive DVOA, according to Fantasy Outsiders.

Since Jeudy and K.J. Hamler went down to injury a few weeks ago, Sutton has re-emerged because of the volume he was getting. However, he left Sunday's game against the Ravens with an injury, which leaves fantasy managers wondering about their wideout. Is Sutton injured or healthy? Let's dive in.

Courtland Sutton Injury Updates for Fantasy Football

As mentioned above, Sutton sustained a hamstring injury during the game. Adding further insult to the fantasy managers that have stuck with him, he did not record a single reception before exiting, resulting in zero fantasy points.

The report here lists him as questionable to return, however, he never did make it back onto the field.

Courtland Sutton Injury News

On Monday we received another update from head coach Nathaniel Hackett, stating he is considered day-to-day.

We have learned this season that day-to-day often means the player will miss that week, sometimes multiple weeks, which could be the case for Sutton.

Is Courtland Sutton Injured or Playing in Week 14?

It's difficult to decide at this point in the week, but it sounds like there's a real chance Sutton will miss Week 14. Additionally, given the return of Jeudy, the poor play of the offense, and the upcoming matchup with the Chiefs, it might be best to leave him on your bench this week anyway. Fantasy managers will need to monitor practice and news reports this week to get more clarity, but it would be wise to have an alternative option.

Furthermore, knowing that this is playoff crunch time for many of us, he is someone to consider cutting if you are in need of a roster spot to win your week and cannot place him in an IR spot.
