Sutton brought in six of nine targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 16-14 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
Analysis
Sutton led the Broncos in receptions, receiving yards and targets while also recording his third touchdown catch of the season on an impressive 32-yard grab just past the midway point of the second quarter. Sutton now has at least Sunday's 70-yard tally in three consecutive games overall, a span during which he's also drawn 30 total targets. The veteran receiver should continue playing a key role during a Week 11 home matchup against an inconsistent Falcons secondary.
Sutton caught seven of 10 targets for 122 yards and threw a two-yard touchdown to Bo Nix in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis
The veteran wideout produced the Broncos' only TD of the afternoon, just not in the way anyone likely expected. Sutton has erupted for back-to-back 100-yard performances, posting a combined 15-222-0 line on 21 targets, and he'll try to get back into the end zone himself for the first time since Week 6 in next Sunday's road tilt against Kansas City.
Sutton caught eight of 11 passes for 100 yards in Sunday's 28-14 win over the Panthers.
Analysis
In rookie quarterback Bo Nix's best performance yet, Sutton broke out for his first 100-yard game of the campaign and a season high in receptions. Nix may have made it a point of emphasis to get the ball to Sutton after the fifth-year wideout went without a target the week before against the Saints, but given the results, he isn't likely to be forgotten about again. Sutton could be in line for big numbers again Week 9 against a Ravens secondary that has struggled all year and just got torched for a 7-99-2 line by the unheralded Cedric Tillman and a 5-79-0 line by former Bronco Jerry Jeudy.
Sutton did not draw a target during the Broncos' 33-10 win over the Saints on Thursday night.
Analysis
The Broncos' No. 1 wideout was shockingly uninvolved in a game during which his team enjoyed a solid amount of offensive success, although Sutton did draw a target late in the first quarter that didn't end up in the box score due to the Saints' defensive holding penalty on the play. Given he'd drawn an impressive 47 targets from Bo Nix over the first six games, Thursday can safely be chalked up as an outlier for Sutton, who'll be well-positioned for a bounce-back performance during a Week 8 home matchup against the Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 27.
Sutton finished with four receptions (six targets) for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis
Sutton made his mark on this contest when he fully extended to catch a 37-pass from Bo Nix for a highlight-reel touchdown. It was the 28-year-old Sutton's second touchdown through six games after the veteran snagged 10 scores in 2023. Denver's offense is starting to show some life as Nix continues to develop under center, giving Sutton modest fantasy appeal against the Saints in Week 7 on Thursday Night Football.
Sutton recorded two receptions on five targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 34-18 win over the Raiders.
Analysis
Sutton led the Broncos' wide receivers in targets, though Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin were used heavily as pass catchers and diminished Sutton's volume. His most impactful contribution was a 24-yard reception midway through the fourth quarter to set up a touchdown to Josh Reynolds on the next play. Sutton has had reliable targets early this season, but he has yet to reach 70 yards in a game.
Sutton caught three passes for 60 yards and one touchdown on nine targets against the Jets on Sunday.
Analysis
Between the brutal matchup and the rain, Sutton's inefficiency was understandable. There's also additional optimism to be gleaned from the fact Sutton's score was the only one of the game, and as rookie signal-caller Bo Nix gains more experience, it's certainly possible he begins to more consistently unleash Sutton's considerable talents. Sutton has a more favorable matchup awaiting in a Week 5 divisional clash against the Raiders.
Sutton brought in seven of 11 targets for 68 yards in the Broncos' 26-7 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis
Sutton led the Broncos in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, with the first two totals also serving as season highs. The veteran wideout had unsurprisingly seen his numbers drop while working with rookie signal-caller Bo Nix over the latter's first two career games, but the 12th overall pick's improved performance Sunday encouragingly lifted Sutton up the most of any Denver pass catcher. The duo will aim to carry over the momentum into a Week 4 road matchup against the Jets.
Sutton recorded one reception on four targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis
Sutton was an afterthought in Sunday's defeat, as he finished fifth on the team in targets. His lone reception came midway through the third quarter on a deep pass down the sideline. Positively, he was also targeted in the end zone, but Bo Nix's pass was picked off. It's been a concerning start to the season for Sutton as he has only five receptions and 64 yards on 16 targets through two contests.
