The Denver Broncos will visit the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17. 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 17?
Sutton is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Broncos’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Sutton in Week 17?
It took some time, but I feel good about Sutton being the WR1 on this offense (over 26% target share in three straight), and against a dead Chiefs team, that’s enough to get inside of my top 20 as this team chases the AFC’s top seed.
Week 11 snapped Sutton’s four-game scoring streak against the Chiefs. He’s never had much yardage upside in this spot despite the scoring success (two games since the pandemic with 60+ yards), but that could change against a defense that allowed Cam Ward to average 8.1 yards per pass last week.
There’s a ton of WR talent that will be on display during your Christmas festivities, and I fully expect Sutton to show well and potentially post his third straight top 15 finish.
