Courtland Sutton Week 3 Outlook - 49ers at Broncos

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sat, Sep 24th 2022, 9:37am EDT

Sutton is doing Sutton things. As the in-game rapport with Wilson grows, it'll be beautiful. After two weeks, Sutton has a 26.1% target share and 40.4% air yard share (seventh-highest) while ranking second in deep targets among wideouts. Sutton is 22nd in yards per route run and 20th in yards per target. He'll match up with Emmanuel Moseley and Charvarius Ward this week on nearly 84% of his routes. Sutton is the tip of the spear for Wilson's success with deep shots this week. Moseley has allowed a 75% catch rate and a 90.6 passer rating. Ward has surrendered a 63.6% catch rate and 82.8 passer rating. In a game where the Broncos won't be able to run much, Sutton will be leaned on heavily. He's a WR1 despite the tough assignment.
