News: 5 days agoSutton finished with five receptions on six targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-26 overtime win over Washington.

Spin: Sutton put it all together for his best receiving line since Week 4 of the regular season when he finished with five receptions for 81 yards and a touchdown against the Bengals. The 29-year-old had registered just one touchdown grab over his previous seven appearances, so fantasy managers were delighted to see the wideout secure Bo Nix's lone touchdown pass in the primetime win. It was also a positive sign to see the veteran starter usurp Troy Franklin (2-21-0) in production after the inverse had held true in recent weeks. With a 50-711-5 receiving line across 12 starts, Sutton is providing enough value to stick in most fantasy lineups for a soft matchup against the Raiders next Sunday.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Sutton is entering his eighth NFL season fresh off a career year in which he finished 17th or better among WRs in snaps, routes, targets, catches, TDs and fantasy points. Sutton ranked top 3 in both air yards and end zone targets and he's now finished in the top 10 in end zone targets three seasons in a row. Sutton has yet to finish a season in the top 25 in fantasy PPG, but he's emerged as the clear top target (25% target share last season) for a Broncos offense that is much improved with Bo Nix under center. Sutton, 29, is a solid WR3 option.
