Courtland Sutton

Although the Broncos endured some bad luck via the untimely Bo Nix injury, they took care of some key offseason matters early. Denver extended Courtland Sutton, Zach Allen and Nik Bonitto ahead of their contract years before agreeing on deals with Luke Wattenberg, Malcolm Roach and Wil Lutz in-season. This does not leave many notable […]

Mims hauled in a 52-yard pass from Jarrett Stidham in the first quarter that helped set up a six-yard touchdown catch by Courtland Sutton two plays later. Despite the big play, it was another forgettable season for Mims overall, who continues to see light work in his third season in the league under Sean Payton. Despite showing flashes when the opportunity arises, Mims' 276 routes run on the season, per PFF, were the fourth-most of any Broncos receiver this season, as were his 51 targets. A reliable option both on offense and special teams, Mims seems unlikely to offer much fantasy upside to his managers in 2026 after managing just 37-322-1 this season.

Sutton found the end zone for a six-yard score in the first quarter, which was the only points the Broncos could muster in Sunday's defeat. The veteran receiver turned in another solid season for the Broncos in 2025, leading the team with 74-1,017-7 on a team-high 124 targets. Sutton surpassed 60 yards in 10 of the 17 games he appeared in. Sutton has now missed just one regular-season game since 2023 and has enjoyed back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons under Sean Payton. He remains under contract with the Broncos through 2029 and will be 30 at the start of next season. He'll be primed for another strong season in 2026, much to the delight of both the Broncos and fantasy managers.

Sutton brought in three of five targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 10-7 loss to the Patriots in Sunday's AFC Championship Game.

Stidham's best play of the game came on the Broncos' second possession, when he caught the Patriots defense sleeping and aired out a 52-yard completion to Marvin Mims on a third-and-ten. Stidham would follow up that play two plays later with a six-yard touchdown pass to Courtland Sutton to give the Broncos their only points on the day. A controversial fumble on a backwards pass by Stidham late in the second quarter put the Patriots in prime position to score their only touchdown of the game, and a late-interception in the fourth quarter officially sealed the Broncos' fate. Stidham did what he could against a stout Patriots defense, but the added wrinkle of snowy elements in the second half further amplified his struggles. Sunday's game marked the first time since 2023 that Stidham attempted a pass in a meaningful NFL game. The veteran quarterback remains under contract through the 2026 season and is unlikely to go anywhere this offseason.
