Courtland Sutton remains Bo Nix's top target for Broncos in 2026
Summary

As the Denver Broncos prepare for the 2026 NFL season, wide receiver Courtland Sutton has emerged as the preferred target for quarterback Bo Nix. Sutton, entering his ninth season, has seen his role expand since Nix joined the team in 2024, receiving significantly more targets than other receivers. He has recorded 1,000-plus receiving yards in both 2024 and 2025, solidifying his position in franchise history. The addition of wide receiver Jaylen Waddle is expected to further enhance Sutton's opportunities by drawing coverage away from him. The Broncos view Sutton as a likely candidate for the 53-man roster, due to his importance in the team's offensive strategy.
