Courtland Sutton earns PFF Offensive Player of the Week honors after preseason debut

In the Broncos' preseason clash with the Atlanta Falcons, wide receiver Courtland Sutton recorded three receptions for 60 yards, the highest yardage among offensive players and a tie for most catches. His efforts secured him Pro Football Focus' Offensive Player of the Week award and a nod from one outlet as a Week 1 preseason winner. Sutton's play contributed to Denver's opening score, featuring a jump ball that was recovered at the Falcons' one-yard line, and he also delivered a one-handed catch that resulted in a first down.

Broncos head coach Sean Payton highlighted Sutton's consistency and his ability to create a larger target area for the quarterback. Former NFL player Pat McAfee and former teammate Darius Butler echoed the praise, noting the catch as a standout moment. Despite sharing targets with new teammate Jaylen Waddle, Sutton remains a trusted option for the Broncos' passing game.
