Courtland Sutton vs Elic Ayomanor: Who Should You Start?
Two wide receivers who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Courtland Sutton (Denver Broncos) finished the 2025 season averaging 10.7 fantasy points per game in 17 games. Elic Ayomanor (Tennessee Titans) came in at 6.0 PPG over 16 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Courtland Sutton carries a 4.7-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Target volume is the story here. Courtland Sutton saw 124 targets in 2025, while Elic Ayomanor drew 89. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Courtland Sutton, even in weeks where Elic Ayomanor posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
Courtland Sutton has his bye in Week 14, and Elic Ayomanor rests in Week 5. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at wide receiver for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
