Courtland Sutton vs Kayshon Boutte: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Courtland Sutton and Kayshon Boutte is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Denver Broncos wide receiver put up 10.7 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Kayshon Boutte of the New England Patriots averaged 7.7 in 14. A 3.0-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 3.0 points favors Courtland Sutton, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one wide receiver to the other.
Target volume is the story here. Courtland Sutton saw 124 targets in 2025, while Kayshon Boutte drew 46. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Courtland Sutton, even in weeks where Kayshon Boutte posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
Both share a Week 14 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking wide receivers this deep on your bench, plan your replacement wide receiver early.
