The Denver Broncos will host the Green Bay Packers in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Courtland Sutton.
Is Courtland Sutton Playing in Week 15?
Sutton is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Sutton in Week 15?
It’s been a rather unique season for Sutton. After a hot start, he was being pushed by Troy Franklin for WR1 duties on this team, but Denver seemed to shift priority at the bye, and last week, we saw Sutton post his second-highest targets share of the season (27.8%).
He was scripted into the plan (two catches for 22 yards on the first drive) and it was clear that the Raiders really didn’t have an answer for him. It was his sixth game with over 100 air yards, and if you catch Bo Nix on the right day, that gives him a top 15 ceiling.
That’s the catch.
It’s hard to feel good about the QB play consistently. He completed seven-of-11 passes when under pressure last week, and that was great, but what does it mean?
He was 13-of-38 in such spots the three weeks prior, with three of those off-target passes being intercepted, two in the first meeting with the Raiders (the same opponent he was efficient against over this past weekend).
I don’t trust it.
Sean Payton clearly wants Pat Bryant to be involved, and Denver is going to want to make this an ugly one-score game. I think we could see a shallow passing plan in an effort to protect Nix from himself, and if that’s the case, we know there’s a floor to fear (better than WR30 just twice since a productive Week 7).
Sutton is a low-end PPR flex for me this week. He’s someone you feel obligated, not excited, to play.
