Courtland Sutton fantasy football insight from Hayden Winks - PPR Rankings

Sutton has been an underrated player and fantasy asset since his ACL tear, but it's now time to re-set expectations after the Broncos had an outlier healthy season and then since traded a 1st-rounder-plus for Jaylen Waddle. Sutton should remain a big target and TD threat, but Waddle is coming for Sutton's 21% target share and WR19 expected fantasy points. Waddle is more talented underneath and way down the field, and coach Sean Payton specializes in designing touches for his best players in them. That pivot from being No. 1 to No. 2 can't be overstated with Payton because he will still manufacture some touches for players like Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin, and RJ Harvey, all while running a fairly balanced offense. Sutton is also approaching the decline period of his NFL career, and Bo Nix is still coming back from another ankle surgery. The Broncos are 21st in projected points in the betting markets right now after being 15th last year. It's easy to see how he's slightly disappointing at ADP (WR38), and I don't see him burying faders for as long as Waddle is healthy. Sutton is a fine WR4 in half PPR best ball and worse than that in full PPR. The threat to Sutton's snaps is now going to be last year's 3rd-round pick, Mr. Pat Bryant.
