Courtland Sutton emerging as Denver's top WR?

| With Tim Patrick's season-ending knee injury, Courtland Sutton's and Jerry Jeudy's roles will only be more prominent, especially in the red zone. Russell Wilson has shown in training camp he's going to move the ball around to find the matchups he likes. But he's also shown in practices and the joint workouts with the Dallas Cowboys that when he really needs a completion or has been moved off his spot by the pass rush, he's going to look for Sutton.

FFToday's Take: Legwold notes that Jeudy is too good a route-runner to not be a factor, so it is not as if he will be an afterthought. Nevertheless, Sutton will be nearly two years removed from his ACL injury by Week 1. He will also be playing with the best quarterback he's ever had in Wilson. It is reasonable to believe he will top his career-best season of 72 catches, 1,112 yards and six touchdowns (all in 2019) if he can stay healthy this season.
