Courtland Sutton at LAC — Searching for Spark in Division Clash

Sutton remains Denver's starting perimeter wideout opposite Jaylen Waddle, but he is enduring a tough start with just nine catches for 86 yards through four games. With slot receiver Pat Bryant placed on injured reserve, Bo Nix could consolidate targets among his perimeter veterans against the Chargers.

Despite seeing 13 targets over his last two games, Sutton's lack of production has cratered his fantasy start rate down to 24%. Our weekly projection anticipates a modest line of 3.1 receptions for 43 receiving yards, totaling 9.1 fantasy points. He profiles as a volatile flex option who is tough to trust until Denver's passing attack finds consistency.
