The Denver Broncos will host the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16. 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 Sutton Playing in Week 16?
Sutton is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Sutton in Week 16?
There have been waves.
Through the first month of the season, Courtland Sutton looked like the WR1 that we came into the season expecting him to be. As the season wore on, however, there was some Troy Franklin steam and, entering last week, Pat Bryant was the hot name on the rise for this Denver team that just doesn’t lose games any more.
We seem to be back on track with Sutton and that means you should feel fine in starting him.
Against the Packers, he and Bo Nix hooked up on a double move that was executed to perfection (42-yard gain) and he came through with a full extension 14-yard touchdown in the third quarter where the Broncos needed a spark in the worst way.
I understand that last week was Sutton’s first 100-yard game since September (heck, his first 70-yard effort since the middle of October), but with a target share north of 27% in consecutive games, I think we have a clear answer as to who sits atop Nix’s priority list.
