Should You Start or Sit Sutton in Week 9?
Courtland Sutton finished last week’s shellacking of the Cowboys with 10.7 PPR points, a down game by his standards, but it could/should have been better.
He was called for OPI to wipe a touchdown off the board, and while I agree with the call, we sometimes see those calls missed.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, the next play, from the 24-yard line, was a frozen rope from Bo Nix that his WR1 mishandled. That’s a 9.4-point play and flips the narrative from semi-disappointment to a fifth top-20 finish in six weeks.
I’m perfectly fine counting on Sutton as my WR2. We know that there is some risk assumed in playing him (Nix can be up and down, not to mention this matchup), but with an end zone target in three straight and a deep reception in six straight, the reward outweighs the downside that you assume in investing in this offense.
