//THREAD\\\\ Courtland Sutton —
Finishing as WR19 in PPR in 2019 (fppg 13.9), there were big expectations for Sutton going into a full season with Drew Lock in 2020. Sutton’s season unfortunately ended in Week 2.
How does his dynasty future look?

9/20/20 - Left ACL/MCLAt the end of the play, you can see Sutton grasping at his left knee. It was later revealed that Sutton suffered the multi-ligamentous season-ending injury. There was no word on meniscus involvement, but very rarely is there no meniscal damage..
..in multi-ligament injuries. If there was meniscus damage, it was likely small & did not require a repair.
This study showed that ACL/MCL returned to play (RTP) at 70.8%.
RTP at PRIOR level of play was 43.5%, compared to meniscus involvement (18.5%). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6204640/

RTP at PRIOR level of play was 43.5%, compared to meniscus involvement (18.5%). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6204640/
The mean time for RTP for ACL/MCL was 305.1 +/- 58.9 days. 76% of the athletes tested were ready for Week 1 the next season.
The estimated # of days from Sutton’s injury (9/20/20) to projected Week 1 is 358 days.
I expect him to play without complication.

•Reinjury Rate
This study showed ACL/MCL reinjury rate to be roughly 25% within the first 22 months post-op. However other studies have shown a lower rate at roughly 9%, both same side or contralateral (other side of prior ACL tear). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6931147/#!po=39.1892

Injury HistoryGiven this was Sutton’s first knee injury documented (no knee injuries found from college) & the general ability to return to play, I’m not overly concerned. He also had the AC joint sprain, but it only costed him one game.
He clears any injury concerns for me.

Sutton dominated 2019 targets, however he now has Jerry Jeudy to contend with, along with the rise of Noah Fant.
2019 DEN had 504 pass att
2020 DEN had 556 under Pat Shurmur as OC.
His offense can typically sustain one primary receiver.
Jerry Jeudy had 113 targets, ahead of..

...Noah Fant’s 93.
That being said Jeudy was undeniably inefficient & struggled with drops. He is not made to be an Alpha of an offense.
I do believe Sutton will retain that role. His upside might be capped by Drew Lock’s abilities, however.

Talent levelHis talent is undeniable. I can find many threads showcasing his skills as a WR. Check out this one by Michael Kist.
He should be able to still continue this level coming off of ACLR+MCL. https://twitter.com/michaelkistnfl/status/970889700675346432
Courtland Sutton - What to do in Dynasty•I am not concerned with Sutton from an injury standpoint over the next 2-3 years. His left knee is something to monitor, but he should bounce right back & lead this DEN offense.
I’d take him as a WR3 who can be started in...
..Plus matchups when Lock has little concern facing a particular defense. Sutton will still be a Red Zone & big play threat, & should lead DEN in targets. I’d be weary if I had to rely on him as my WR1 or WR2.
He seems to be cheap, so now is the time to go Buy.

Here’s another great thread on why Sutton is intriguing going into 2021
