Courtland Sutton

Sutton brought in five of six targets for 50 yards in the Broncos' 34-27 loss to the Chargers on Thursday night.

Sutton's game was about as non-descript as it gets; especially from what should be the top option in the passing attack. The wideout had a long gain of 18 yards, and while there was just one target that wasn't completed, far too many of the receptions were of the short-yardage variety. Sutton will be in the WR2 conversation against the Bengals in Week 17.

Sutton had next to no chemistry with Bo Nix, who had three interceptions, including one when targeting Sutton in the first half. He salvaged his statistical day with a fourth quarter touchdown -- one of three from Nix. Sutton, far and away the Broncos' No. 1 wideout, now has at least nine targets in five straight games. No other Denver pass catcher had more than four targets against the Colts. Sutton, who had 53 yards and a touchdown in Week 6 against the Chargers, will be a high-floor WR2 option in Week 16 against LA.

Nix had one of his most uneven performances of the past couple months. He airmailed a couple passes for interceptions and was not on the same page with No. 1 wideout Courtland Sutton, who eventually caught one of Nix's three scores on the day. Nix also connected with tight ends Adam Trautman andNate Adkins for touchdowns. With multiple touchdown tosses in four of his past five games, Nix has become a reliable option in 12-team formats. He'll be a top-15 play in Week 16 against the Chargers. Nix had 216 yards and two TDs in Week 6 against LA, along with 61 yards on the ground.
