Broncos WR Courtland Sutton (ankle) is questionable for Week 5 according to Ari Meirov of Pro Football Focus.

Not great news on a Friday! Tim Patrick would be Denver's top wideout should Sutton miss Week 5.

Sunday, Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton took it upon himself to mark the one-year anniversary of his most difficult athletic day with a living, breathing effort that was one of his best.

"He's back," Broncos coach Vic Fangio said. "He's back."

During the Broncos' 23-13 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday, Sutton had a career-best 159 receiving yards on nine catches.

A year ago, Sutton suffered a torn ACL in his left knee while attempting to make a tackle after a Jeff Driskel interception in the Broncos' Week 2 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The story said in Week 2 this year, Sutton worked the high-traffic areas in the middle of the field, made the tough catches in a crowd and added a 55-yard deep shot down the middle on the Broncos' first possession of the second half to help put the game away.

A league source confirmed the Broncos believe wideout Jerry Jeudy will be out 4-6 weeks after sustaining a high right ankle sprain in Sunday’s second half.

If the Broncos were to place Jeudy on injured reserve/eligible to return, he would miss, at minimum, the Broncos’ games against Jacksonville (Sunday), the New York Jets (Sept. 27) and Baltimore (Oct. 3), the story said. Minus Jeudy, the Broncos will lean on Sutton, Patrick and Hamler as their top three receivers. The Broncos said in the story those three WRs will get the bulk of the first team reps.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy suffered a high ankle sprain during Sunday’s 27-13 win over the New York Giants, coach Vic Fangio confirmed during his postgame press conference.

Jeudy might be sidelined for anywhere from several weeks to long as two months (or more), the story said. Jeudy had X-rays at the stadium on Sunday that came back negative, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. The former Alabama star is expected to undergo an MRI on Monday that might give more clarity on a recovery timeline for the receiver. With Sutton still on the mend, Hamler could see a boost in targets. Patrick could also benefit as well as TE Fant.

For me, Courtland Sutton is the No. 1 receiver until he proves he isn’t. Jerry Jeudy has made a couple splash plays in the preseason and that should carry over to the regular season if Sutton returns to form.

The Broncos have been cautious with Sutton’s work during training camp, but all indications are that he will be ready for full duty Sept. 12 at the New York Giants, about 51 weeks removed from his torn ACL, the story said. It's great news for Sutton and his fantasy owners. The author added Sutton has fought off rust but has also looked dynamic at times.

According to Nick Kosmider of The Athletic, Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has flashed since returning to the practice field.

Courtland Sutton has been making a number of exciting plays in training camp, so much so that Kosmider opined that Sutton is flashing his Pro Bowl form. It is great news that Sutton has started turning heads after a slow start to camp. Fantasy managers can now feel more confident that he is trending towards a full recovery and will still be the same receiving threat he was before the injury. Currently, our 36th ranked receiver, Sutton, has the tools to outperform his ADP as the 31st receiver off the board by a fair margin.

With Courtland Sutton out, Tim Patrick will see more targets alongside rookies Jerry Jeudy, K.J. Hamler and Tyrie Cleveland. Additionally, third-year pro DaeSean Hamilton and second-year pro Diontae Spencer, a former CFL star who is the Broncos’ punt returner, will also need to elevate. The depth in the receivers’ room has Patrick still feeling confident about the unit’s potential, even minus its injured Pro Bowler.

Even with a young, talented group of WRs, the story said the onus is on Patrick after spending his offseason training with Sutton and Hamilton in Miami and Atlanta, where Patrick sought to bring more refinement to his game. Patrick is a name to keep an eye on but probably isn't on a lot of radars this week, and, the QB situation isn't ideal as either Jeff Driskel or Blake Bortles will be under center until Drew Lock comes back.

Wide receiver Courtland Sutton suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers and will miss the remainder of the season. Sutton had missed the season opener with a right shoulder injury suffered Sept. 8 in practice and had been limited in practice in the days leading up to Sunday's game.

Additionally, Broncos quarterback Drew Lock will miss 3 to 5 weeks with a severe strain of the rotator cuff in his throwing shoulder, an injury he suffered in the first quarter Sunday.

Sutton missed Week 1 with a shoulder injury and the news wasn't looking good after he suffered a knee injury in Week 2. That news was confirmed today as Sutton will now miss the remainder of the season. Meanwhile, QB Lock will miss 3-5 weeks with Driskel taking over in that time. With Sutton out, Jeudy, Hamler, Patrick and Hamilton take over. They are certainly talented names, but will take a bit of a hit with Driskel at QB. Perhaps RB Melvin Gordon sees and increase in workload.

Wide receiver Courtland Sutton made his 2020 debut against the Steelers on Sunday after missing the opener with a shoulder injury, but he was limited to 31 snaps due to a knee injury.

Mike Klis of KUSA reports that the concern is that Sutton’s injury is a significant one.

He is going for an MRI on Monday for a better understanding of the injury and how long it might keep him out of action. We will update, but it looks like Sutton owners should be prepared for him to miss some time. The Broncos also lost QB Drew Lock, perhaps for multiple weeks, making a lot of their offense a much-less desired one in the fantasy world going forward.
