Should You Start or Sit Courtland Sutton in Week 13?
This Bo Nix experience has been fun for fantasy managers, and it’s been an even more enjoyable run for Courtland Sutton, the proud owner of three top-six finishes at the position over the past month.
Everything has been encouraging in terms of his profile lately, and that includes a season-high in slot usage a week ago (33.9% of his routes), a development that could give him a strong floor to complement a ceiling that we’ve had access to lately.
But could it all come crashing down this week?
The Browns are not the intimidating matchup that we expected them to be three months ago, but even in a disappointing season, they sit atop the league in pressure rate (43% of opponent dropbacks). Nix has been great, but like most rookies, when you apply pressure, the game tends to move faster than can be processed confidently.
Broncos’ passing success in Weeks 6-12, 2024:
- Nix when not pressured: Fourth in passer rating (better than Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert)
- Nix when pressured: 23rd in passer rating (worse than Cooper Rush)
I bet the Broncos’ team total to go under 24.5 points when the lines first dropped this week with that thought in mind, and that has me lower on all members of this offense than consensus. That doesn’t mean I’m benching this alpha receiver, but it does mean I have him as a low-end WR2 while I’ve seen others putting him in the WR1 conversation.
