Should You Start or Sit Sutton in Week 10?
Courtland Sutton was locked up for much of Week 9 by Derek Stingley and this Houston defense, but all it takes is one.
He beat Stingley on a go route, a spot where the Pro Bowl corner seemed to believe that he had help over the top, and converted a 30-yard pass into a TD.
The play resulted in Sutton’s first TD since September, and I fear that the inconsistencies are here to stay.
- Week 4: 9.2-yard aDOT
- Week 5: 10.5-yard aDOT
- Week 6: 11.7-yard aDOT
- Week 7: 12.4-yard aDOT
- Week 8: 16.0-yard aDOT
- Week 9: 22.0-yard aDOT
The Raiders allow the 10th-most yards per deep pass attempt this season, making it possible that Sutton rips off a chunk gain, but they also own the sixth-lowest touchdown rate on such throws.
The worry here is more long-term than Week 10. I expect Bo Nix to be comfortable in this spot, and that makes his WR1 a viable low-end WR2 in the fantasy world. But against a defense like the Chiefs (Denver faces Kansas City next week and heads to Arrowhead in Week 17), the low floor certainly becomes a concern.
