News: 2 days agoSutton caught three of seven targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 30-26 win over the Rams.

Spin: Sutton led the team in receiving yards Sunday night while tying for the team lead in targets with RJ Harvey and Jaylen Waddle. This was a step in the right direction after Sutton mustered just 36 receiving yards over the previous two games combined. Between the offseason acquisition of Waddle and the change in play callers from Sean Payton to Davis Webb, Sutton has taken a step back early in the 2026 season after exceeding 1,000 receiving yards in each of the previous two regular seasons and catching 15 touchdown passes over that span. Sutton is still searching for his first TD of the campaign heading into a Week 4 road game against the 49ers.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: After producing one season with 1,000 yards and a top-20 fantasy finish during his first six NFL campaigns, Sutton has achieved both in each of the past two years. The 2018 second-round pick's target share actually dipped from 24% in 2024 to 21% in 2025, but he remained heavily involved near the goal line and has now ranked in the top 12 among receivers in TDs each of the last three seasons. In fact, Sutton has now finished in the top 10 at the position in end zone targets four years in a row, tying for third with 56 during the span. Sutton will remain one of Bo Nix's go-to targets, but now 30 years old and with added target competition in Jaylen Waddle, he's best valued as a fantasy WR3.
