The Courtland Sutton Thread

Not sure if Fields or Lance would be much of an improvement (if at all) over Lock. At least in terms of FF/statistically.

This is an insane take.

Fields would be a massive improvement, in both contexts - and especially as a standalone fantasy piece. You are talking about Drew Lock: by many, many metrics one of the worst QB's in the league. Fields would be a must-have for late round QB fliers in 1QB redraft, and the QB2 with a bullet in Superflex rookie drafts. Zero question.

Don't forget: a 4.44 40-yard at 6"3 227 lbs would arguably make Fields the RB1 of this class athletically. Only RG3 has measured faster (4.41). He is the most likely of any of these QB's to take off and run, Lamar style. QB's that can rush on 3rd down to keep their offenses on the field is the new meta, and staying on the field in a game creates more opportunities (ie attempts) for the rest of the offense to score. A rising tide lifts all ships.

Now you're telling me that he would have (one of) the best pass-catching corps in the league, plus a capable pass catching RB in Melvin Gordon? You're spelling out spiked weeks for Fields, my friend. He would be a fantasy rock-star.

I do get a kick out of “fastest timed 40 since RG3”.

1. Everyone is running “faster” because there is no combine.

2. Elite Running QBs don’t run the 40 — Lamar/Kyler are both faster.

Fields looks very quick and athletic but I don't buy 4.4. he's not that much faster than Lance or Wilson for that matter

I don't really care about his 40 time. I already know he's fast enough as a QB for read options and designed runs. This lifts his floor.

Frame counters have his time as a 4.50

I definitely enjoyed choosing that wording carefully, so you're welcome. I definitely agree that Lamar and Kyler are both faster. The point being that he'll be in that sort of class of QB, though.

Because regardless, we're still talking about a dude with RB1 measurables playing QB. I'd be excited about him in Denver if it eventuated... his accuracy would be a huge upgrade over Lock. That offense would really boom with Fields, I feel.

Back from ACL injury early in last season, only 3 targets and 1 catch for 14 yards.

Does he suck or is there something else going on? Getting weary of waiting on him.

[Shcritters]

Well, if he doesn't re-assert himself in the next 4-6 weeks while Jeudy's out it'll be about time to start writing him off. Patrick and Hamler are good, but he's supposed to be better than both of them.

It was game 1 from a major injury against a bad team when they have tons of weapons. Last thing you want to do is panic. He's a solid WR2 (in time) or a high end WR3.

After checking the usage rates, he led all DEN WRs with an 80% snap share.

Going to chalk this up to DEN having a plethora of weapons, Teddy throwing to the open man, and James Bradberry (the #2 cover corner in 2020) shadowing him.

Teddy B sucks. He ruined DJM now he’s going to ruin Sutton

Ahhhh, Now we know why that sloth can't beat out Dalton.

On a side note, Sutton at least has a chance with Jeudy out but he isn't a great route runner and Teddy will find a way to go elsewhere.

[StripesOfKC]

Still better than Jeudy as he has always been

Wish I still owned a share or two

Congrats to those who got him at the ridiculous prices he was going this offseason (for an early 2nd like some scrub)
