Outlook Josh Downs
Primed for a Expanded Slot Role and Solid Value in PPR Drafts
Josh Downs enters his fourth professional season positioned firmly as the team's primary slot receiver on the offensive depth chart. Following consecutive campaigns with over 700 receiving yards, our models project him for 73 catches and 759 receiving yards, solidifying his role as a reliable chain-mover in 1.0 PPR formats.
His draft market trajectory has shown notable stability with an ADP hovering around the 113 range after experiencing some earlier volatility in June. This steady market pricing makes him an attractive middle-round target for managers seeking high-floor depth.
While questions at the quarterback position create some uncertainty for the early-season passing ceiling, Downs' anticipated target volume keeps him safely anchored as a dependable depth option with steady weekly involvement.

Outlook Courtland Sutton
Reliable WR2 Value Steal Anchored by Stable Role
Courtland Sutton enters the 2026 season firmly entrenched as the leading outside receiver in Denver's offense, holding down a secure starting role on the depth chart. Looking at our internal projections, we anticipate another steady campaign with around 62 receptions for 853 yards and 6 touchdowns. Despite the offseason addition of Jaylen Waddle, Sutton has publicly expressed his willingness to share targets in pursuit of winning, and his veteran presence remains vital to the passing attack.
In the draft market, Sutton's ADP has held remarkably stable at pick 74 over the past month, maintaining a mid-round cost that presents an appealing value in 1.0 PPR formats. With a nearly universal rostered rate and over 75 percent starting frequency among fantasy managers, he is viewed as a reliable weekly option. Our models suggest his current draft price does not fully capture his consistent floor as a primary aerial weapon.
Risk remains tied to the overall offensive ceiling and touchdown regression, but Sutton's durability and established chemistry within the scheme make him a dependable roster anchor. Fantasy managers looking for a high-floor WR2 or strong flex option will find his current ADP to be an advantageous spot to solidify their receiving corps.
