Fantasy Football Player Notes

Courtland Sutton is the WR24 in fantasy points per game with 14 deep targets and ten red zone targets. He had a nice bounce-back game last week as the WR16, which was his first top 24 finish in weekly scoring since Week 7. This week, he faces a Raiders' secondary that, since Week 9, has utilized single high at the third-highest rate (63.8%). Since Week 7, against single high, Sutton has ranked second on the team with a 19.1% target share, second in yards per route run with 2.60, and second in first-read share with 22.1%. Sutton should have another strong game against a Raiders' secondary that, since Week 9, has allowed the eighth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

Troy Franklin continues to hum along as the WR35 in fantasy points per game while ranking second in deep targets and eighth in red zone targets among wide receivers. The last time he faced this pass defense, he was the WR23 for the week, securing five of his nine targets with 40 receiving yards and a score. This week, he faces a Raiders' secondary that, since Week 9, has utilized single high at the third-highest rate (63.8%). Since Week 7, against single high, Franklin has had a team-leading 27% target share and 33.8% first-read share with 2.13 yards per route run. He should lead the way for Denver's passing attack this week. Since Week 9, the Raiders' secondary has allowed the eighth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
