As a non-elite X receiver, it's hard for him to dominate targets consistently, especially with Bo Nix's operating areas and Sean Payton's preference for using speed Z slot receivers like Waddle.NegativeValueJul 19, 2026
The ADP range he goes in is problematic; he has a higher floor than guys 10 positional spots after him but no higher ceiling, making him a pass in drafts.PositiveRoleJul 19, 2026
Courtland Sutton is expected to hold down the primary X receiver role in Denver's offense, with Jaylen Waddle moving to an off-ball position.NegativeProjectionJul 18, 2026

Sutton will be pushed into a more downfield role with Waddle's arrival, which isn't ideal for fantasy points, and he was already out-targeted by Troy Franklin in the red zone (9 to 5) from weeks 2-11.NegativeRoleJul 13, 2026
The addition of Jaylen Waddle will push Courtland Sutton into a more downfield role, shifting him away from being the focal point of Denver's offense as the team showed last year they were trying to move away from that structure.PositiveProjectionJul 12, 2026
Courtland Sutton had a career season in Bo Nix's rookie year, but Theo notes he's an older WR and the market may be overweighting his recent production.PositiveDepth ChartJul 12, 2026
Courtland Sutton is the established WR1 in Denver, but Derek Brown argues he's only held that role because there was no other elite receiver to step up alongside him, and Waddle changes that dynamic.PositiveRoleJul 11, 2026
Sutton's target share dropped significantly by 4% and his first-read rate was way down in 2024 versus 2025, indicating a diminished role in the offense.NegativeValueJul 11, 2026
Sutton is a fade at his current ADP cost; he should be going lower than where he is currently being drafted.NegativeBustJul 11, 2026
Sutton had his least efficient season in a long time at 1.53 yards per route run and showed red flags in efficiency metrics. The Broncos' acquisition of Jaylen Waddle signals they are moving away from Sutton as their primary receiver.NegativeProjectionJul 11, 2026
Sutton had a number of red flags last year efficiency-wise, with concerns about his role as the offense appeared to be tilting toward Troy Franklin as the potential number one receiver.NegativeRoleJul 5, 2026
Jacob Gibbs dismisses the take that Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle will produce similarly as "laughable," citing Waddle's youth, talent level, and the Broncos' Super Bowl aspirations. Gibbs notes that Bo Nix has struggled throwing downfield, ranked 34th out of 39 QBs in catchable ball rate on throws of 10+ air yards, which is problematic for Sutton's deep-ball upside. Waddle is expected to receive the manufactured touches and catch-and-run opportunities in Sean Payton's scheme, positioning him as the primary beneficiary of Denver's offensive efficiency improvements.NegativeRoleJul 4, 2026
Courtland Sutton remains a significant part of the Denver offense despite the acquisition of Jaylen Waddle. The second speaker expects Sutton to get the majority of targets in the red zone due to his contested catch ability, though Dave Klug believes Waddle will be the alpha in the offense. Sutton is described as a fine draft click at his current ADP.
