Courtland Sutton has secured his future with the Denver Broncos after signing a lucrative four-year, $92 million extension on Monday, which includes $41 million guaranteed. This significant deal alleviates any contract concerns for the talented receiver, making him a key player for fantasy football enthusiasts this season.
Sutton is expected to be a primary target under new head coach Sean Payton and quarterback Bo Nix. After posting impressive stats in the previous season, which included 81 receptions for 1,081 yards and eight touchdowns, Sutton is emerging as a reliable option, particularly in the fourth round of fantasy drafts. His performance improved notably towards the end of the season, where he averaged 18.2 PPR (points per reception) points in his last 10 games, suggesting he can sustain high-level production.
While Sutton may face competition for targets from newcomers like tight end Evan Engram and rookie Pat Bryant, as well as fellow receivers Marvin Mims, Devaughn Vele, and Troy Franklin, he remains the standout option within the Broncos’ receiving corps. With 18 touchdowns in just two seasons under Payton’s offense, Sutton’s role is solidified, reflecting the trust the organization has in him following his contract extension.
Fantasy players can feel optimistic about Sutton’s prospects this coming season. His current Average Draft Position (ADP) sits around the fifth round, but many believe he has the potential to exceed expectations and provide excellent value. As the season progresses, there is hope that Sutton’s production will not only continue but set a new standard for what he can achieve, making him a valuable asset to fantasy teams.
