2026 Outlook

Veteran WR1 for Denver facing target-share questions after the addition of Jaylen Waddle via trade. Sutton ranks WR68 in FantasyPros consensus, reflecting uncertainty about whether he remains the primary target or becomes co-star alongside Waddle. In Sean Payton's scheme, competition from Waddle (an efficient separator) may limit Sutton's ceiling compared to recent seasons. However, Denver's top-10 passing offense should provide consistent volume. Best case: Sutton maintains WR2 status and benefits from Waddle drawing safety coverage. Worst case: target share drops significantly and Sutton slips to WR3 range (per Fantasy guide to offseason signings: Broncos add to WR room, trade for Waddle). The Broncos' addition of veteran edge rusher Von Miller could strengthen team defense, creating better game script for offensive production (per Von Miller wants to play in 2026, has 'lobbied' Broncos HC Sean Payton).

Role / Depth Chart

Veteran WR1 for Broncos; expected to share target load with Jaylen Waddle following the March 2026 trade acquisition.

Injury Status

Healthy entering 2026.
