Week 1 vs. Las Vegas Raiders
Courtland Sutton is poised to lead the Broncos' pass catching group in Week 1 with Jerry Jeudy seemingly doubtful due to his hamstring injury. Sutton is coming off a disappointing 2022 season, but just about everyone involved with Denver's offense last year was disappointing and the injuries to Jeudy and Tim Patrick leave the Broncos with few legitimate receiving options behind Sutton and rookie Marvin Mims. Sutton gets the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 1, who were a bad defense last season and especially struggled against the pass. Sutton is looking at a healthy target share in a good matchup this Sunday, so there is room for a starter-worthy performance here if the new-look Broncos bounce back under Sean Payton right off the bat. Sutton has a limited ceiling due the offense he works in, but the opportunity should be there for him to be considered as a flex option against the Raiders.
