Sutton is coming off three straight seasons with 12+ PPR points per game and 16+ games played, but his 2025 campaign (74-1,017-7 on 124 targets) was a mild disappointment on the heels of a huge finish to 2024. While still worth starting in most fantasy leagues last year, Sutton wasn't a true difference-maker, ranking 20th among WRs with 12.8 PPR points per game (down from 14.3 ppg in 2024). Now entering his age-30/31 season, Sutton faces increased target competition after Denver traded for WR Jaylen Waddle in March. The Broncos also have strong depth at wide receiver, with Pat Bryant, Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims expected to compete for the third and fourth spots. Sutton still profiles as the top red-zone threat, and thus a beneficiary if Sean Payton's vision for the offense works out. The concern for fantasy, besides age-related decline, is that Payton's vision for his 2026 offense entails fewer targets for Sutton outside of the red zone.
