Courtland Sutton will turn 31 in October. He “leads” a receiving corps loaded with up-and-coming talent, as well as the newly arrived Jaylen Waddle. Sutton has been the alpha for several years, commanding sizable target shares. That’s probably going to end. As last year’s WR22 in points per game, Sutton is expected to remain streamable, given his overall-78 / WR37 ADP.
But that’s closer to his ceiling than his floor. The days of Sutton as fantasy-relevant are winding down.
Despite massive fumbling issues and durability concerns, Rhamondre Stevenson owns a respectable overall-79 / RB29 ADP. That might make sense if he were the 1A running back, or even the co-leader in New England’s backfield. That’s not the case. TreVeyon Henderson is primed to push for workhorse status, leaving Stevenson as a fantasy liability . . . even when he’s healthy and not fumbling.
In Tennessee, Tony Pollard (overall-80 / RB30 ADP) is the presumed 1A for at least one more season. The 29-year-old probably will enter free agency after this year. In a prove-it campaign, one might assume he’ll outperform expectations. But if Tyjae Spears can stay healthy, and/or if rookie Nicholas Singleton impresses in camp, the rebuilding Titans won’t be incentivized to center the ground game around Pollard.
This franchise will have more big decisions to make after this season; they’ll want to see more from Spears and Singleton than the market is anticipating.
