Courtland Sutton Week 7 Outlook - Chiefs at Broncos

It may not have been a massive game, but Sutton extended his seven-plus target streak to six games with Flacco last week. He's consistently being targeted, which is ultimately the best-case scenario out of a player you're relying on for WR3 production most of the time. The Chiefs cornerbacks did a solid job keeping Deandre Hopkins in check last week, though Sutton is used quite a bit differently, as his 11.5 air yards per target easily trumps Hopkins' measly 9.5 air yards per target. We did see Will Fuller get behind the Chiefs defense on multiple occasions but ultimately dropped three should-be touchdowns. Sutton will see Charvarius Ward much of the game, a cornerback who put his name on the map towards the end of last year and has continued playing well for much of 2019. He's seen 33 targets in coverage this year, allowing 19 receptions for 253 yards and one touchdown. He allowed 7/123/0 of that in Week 1 against the Jaguars but has been pretty lights out since that time. Sutton is someone you want to keep plugging in as a WR3 with the volume he's getting, though the matchup isn't as great as we might've hoped.
