Absolute best case scenario is that Sutton becomes something like Mike Evans, but Evans is also on pace to being a HOF'er, so it's not something I'm counting on. Evans isn't an elite route runner, but has improved significantly and is a reliable possession receiver and deep threat.
Mike Evans? No. These are completely different players. Evans is an amazing deep threat, but has next to no YAC ability.
Sutton is emerging as a deep threat, but is already one of the most elusive WRs after the catch in the NFL.
YAC last season:
Sutton - 352 in 16 games (4.9 YAC/R)
Evans - 256 in 13 games (3.8 YAC/R)
More or less, if Sutton's career value/perception to an offense and the NFL is Mike Evans, I think that's his best case scenario. I do not think he has the mold of a player who's going to be a high volume route separator. That's never been his game and it doesn't have to be for him to be good.
However, it is Jerry Jeudy's game and if that game translates, he's going to get a lot of targets long-term.
