Expectations shouldn't be too lofty for Sutton even after his 2023 season when he scored 10 touchdowns. That's because Sutton failed to average even six targets per game in Denver's conservative offense and figures to be limited again in his opportunities in 2024. It doesn't help that Sutton missed offseason workouts over a contract dispute, nor is it a positive that he'll catch passes from a rookie -- even one that comes with a lot of collegiate experience like Bo Nix. Here's the reality: Sutton hasn't popped for over 12 PPR points per game since 2019, and even then it was 13.9. Unless Sutton's situation changes, think of him as a low-end No. 3 Fantasy receiver at best worth grabbing in the middle rounds.
Following along with what was a team-wide theme, Sutton fell short of expectations again in 2023, marking three consecutive seasons he has failed to crack the positional top 30 in fantasy points despite pacing the Broncos in both routes run and targets. Though his career-best 10 touchdowns were a bright spot, advanced measures deemed it a fortunate total. And since he entered the season with just 14 TDs in 65 career games, it was quite a surprise. Sutton enters his age-29 season working with his ninth different quarterback, and one probably a step down talent-wise from Russell Wilson. Still, the offseason trade of Jerry Jeudy opens up some targets and paves the way for Sutton to be the Broncos' receiving alpha dog. He's best drafted as a WR3 with potential receptions upside.
