Explodes for 159 yards Sutton recorded nine receptions on 12 targets for 159 yards in Sunday's Week 2 win over Jacksonville.
Impact Sutton was the clear leader among the Broncos' receiving corps, commanding a target on 12 of the team's 34 pass attempts. He delivered an explosive performance, highlighted by gains off 55, 33 and 16 yards. The only thing missing was a trip to the end zone. After limited production in Week 1, Sutton recorded his first 100-yard receiving game since Week 10 of the 2019 season.

Quiet in opening week Sutton recorded one reception on three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's Week 1 win over the Giants.
Impact Sutton was on the field for a regular-season contest for the first time since Week 2 of the 2020 season. Perhaps understandably, he wasn't as involved as could typically be projected and managed his only reception partway through the second quarter. The Broncos should be in a positive game script for much of their Week 2 matchup against Jacksonville, so volume may not be on Sutton's side again even in the absence of Jerry Jeudy (ankle).

Jerry Jeudy Injury Update Provides Massive Boost to Courtland Sutton and KJ Hamler Fantasy Outlook Jerry Jeudy's injury update is huge for Courtland Sutton and KJ Hamler's outlooks in fantasy football

Showing notable progress Coach Vic Fangio relayed that Sutton has taken a step forward in recent weeks regarding the rehab of the torn ACL he suffered early in the 2020 season, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos'...
Impact Sutton's first game action in nearly a year came against the Rams in Denver's preseason finale. In that game, the wideout totaled 27 yards and a touchdown while also proving himself as a favorite target of Teddy Bridgewater. In describing the time since that contest, Fangio said, "I think the last two weeks, he's really turned the corner and he's looking more like himself." If Sutton is at full strength and not showing hesitation following his injury, the fourth-year wide receiver likely will be one of the favorites to lead the team in targets this season along with Jerry Jeudy. The 6-foot-4, 216-pound Sutton has both the size and speed that make him very tough for opposing defenders to cover. Sutton may have convinced the coaching staff that he's ready to start the season strong, and he'll look to prove that on the field when the Broncos visit the Giants in Week 1.

Returns to field Sutton logged two receptions on three targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason game against the Rams.
Impact Although Sutton progressed from individual to team drills early in training camp, this served as his first return to game action since Week 2 of the 2020 season. He quickly established himself as one of Teddy Bridgewater's favorite targets, as he recorded receptions of 19 and eight yards -- the latter of which went for a touchdown. The results of the contest were certainly encouraging, but most importantly it appears that Sutton will be ready to go for Week 1 of the regular season against the Giants thanks to his work in the final preseason contest. Sutton may be on a snap count early in the campaign, though there has been no formal decision in that regard.
