Courtland Sutton, one of the Broncos' top two wide receivers in the new offense, was targeted 5 times and caught 2 passes for 11 yards in the season opener. Combined with Jaylen Waddle's 1 catch for 2 yards, the Broncos' top two receivers totaled just 3 catches for 13 yards, which the source characterizes as unacceptable for a newly revamped offense.

Combined with the other top receiver, the Broncos' top two wide receivers totaled just 3 catches for 13 yards in the new and improved offense, which the source characterizes as 'not what you want.'

Courtland Sutton, Denver's wide receiver, was held to just one reception for minimal yards (part of a combined 3-for-13 receiving line for Denver's top receivers) in Week 1 against the Chiefs secondary. The source emphasizes that despite Mansoor Delane missing most of the game, the Chiefs' defense, led by cornerbacks Nohl Williams and L'Jarius Sneed, effectively shut down Denver's receiving threats.

Sutton was right around 80% route share (79%) but combined with Jaylen Waddle for just 13 yards on 8 targets; he had a drop early in the game; the source notes 'it was ugly for Waddle and Sutton, but so was everything else for Denver's offense.'

Wide receiver Courtland Sutton was manned up by rookie cornerback Mansoor Delane on the opening drive, where Delane's elite coverage resulted in an interception. This represents a challenging matchup for Sutton against the Chiefs' emerging secondary.

The Broncos' big-play wideout combined with Jaylen Waddle for just 13 yards on three receptions in the loss to Kansas City, a stark underperformance on a night Denver had little room for error.

Also underutilized in Week 1 despite being a top-15 WR in prior two seasons. Tied with Waddle for lack of involvement; even after KC lost CB Mansoor Delane early in the game, Sutton didn't see increased targets. Community notes this suggests Davis Webb's game plan was fundamentally flawed, not just a defensive adjustment. Sutton's lack of involvement is seen as evidence that the entire passing attack was funneled through Pat Bryant and tight ends instead of the team's best receivers.

Courtland Sutton has been clutch every year and will have more opportunities on his side of the field with Jaylen Waddle's addition to the offense. Sutton's numbers will show improvement now that he is not the only WR1, as Waddle's presence makes him an easier target for Bo Nix.

Sutton should remain a big intermediate target and TD threat but Waddle is coming for Sutton's 21% target share and WR19 expected fantasy points from last season; enough dropbacks for both to have fantasy value in modest matchups. Chiefs are a real challenge under DC Steve Spagnuolo with more athleticism up front; Sutton faces sixth-overall pick Mansoor Delane and underrated CB2 Nohl Williams. In four games against Chiefs with Bo Nix, Sutton averaged 4.8-67-0.5 receiving but went scoreless on four receptions in last year's outings. He's a boom-bust WR3/4 option in deep leagues. Denver only 25th in projected points (20.5).
