Courtland Sutton (DEN) Prayer Yards Rate: 73 percent... Sutton for some reason leads the Broncos in pass routes this year and has 233 air yards... Sutton has 17 first read targets through four games while Waddle has 20. It's a 1A/1B situation... If or when those Nix throws start turning into real yards, Sutton could have some real value in 12-team leagues.

Positive signalBreakout

Sutton's 73% prayer yards rate and route leadership offer value if Nix improves.

Courtland Sutton has a 73 percent prayer yards rate, among the highest in the NFL, but represents a positive regression candidate; he leads the Broncos in pass routes this year with 233 air yards and 17 first read targets in a 1A/1B situation with Jaylen Waddle (263 air yards, 20 first read targets). Bo Nix is the fifth most inaccurate passer in the NFL and ranks 29th in adjusted yards per attempt, but if or when those Nix throws start turning into real yards, Sutton could have real value in 12-team leagues.
