Proven Veteran Consistency Keeps Denver Target in the Solid WR3 Conversation

Sutton remains a cornerstone of the Denver passing game under Sean Payton, even after the arrival of dynamic playmaker Jaylen Waddle. While Sutton has publicly embraced Waddle's addition, saying he welcomes sharing targets to win games, the presence of another high-volume receiver will impact his ceiling. Still, as a primary starter, he is slated for plenty of steady looks.

Our models project Sutton to secure 62 receptions for 853 yards and six touchdowns. Coming off consecutive 1,000-yard campaigns, these numbers represent a slight regression in projected volume but reflect a highly efficient role in an offense led by young quarterback Bo Nix.

His ADP has stabilized near pick 74 after brief early-June volatility, making him an appealing value target in PPR drafts. Fantasy managers are starting him in 75% of leagues, solidifying his status as a dependable WR3.

Outlook Christian Watson

Massive Contract Extension and Vacated Targets Set the Stage for a Career-Defining Season in Green Bay

Watson enters 2026 with huge expectations after signing a massive four-year extension. With Romeo Doubs departing, Watson is positioned as Jordan Love's primary perimeter threat alongside Jayden Reed in a highly potent offense. Our projections slate Watson for 103 targets, which would easily mark a career high.

When healthy, Watson's efficiency is undeniable. After returning from injury in late 2025, he dominated the deep-passing game, leading the league in deep receptions and yards over that stretch. Watson has publicly targeted a season with 1,100 yards and double-digit touchdowns, goals that are well within reach if his injury issues remain in the past.

His draft stock reflects this massive ceiling. In May, managers could grab him with an ADP in the 80s. Following his extension, his ADP climbed steadily to 63 overall. At this cost, we project him as an outstanding mid-round value with WR1 upside in PPR formats.
