Courtland Sutton has been on a touchdown spree, leading all wide receivers with seven touchdowns since Week 3 and maintaining a five-game scoring streak. The question arises: can the Cleveland Browns defense halt this touchdown streak, hurting Courtland Sutton fantasy football owners in Week 12? Will Sutton still contribute meaningful fantasy production even without finding the end zone?
Courtland Sutton Fantasy Football Outlook Week 12
Recent Courtland Sutton fantasy football performances have shown him to become touchdown-or-bust. Despite the impressive touchdown streak, there’s a cause for concern with three of his last five games yielding just four receptions or fewer. Additionally, while racking up touchdowns, he’s struggled to surpass 80 receiving yards in all those games, with three instances of being held under 54 receiving yards.
Analyzing the matchup against the Browns, if it wasn’t evident before, they have shown to be tough on wide receivers this season, ranking tied for the fourth-fewest touchdowns allowed. Coinciding with Sutton’s concerning trend of limited receiving yards, two of the last three touchdowns allowed by the Browns were to players held under 41 receiving yards. The Browns’ defense has proven tough, allowing the second-fewest points to the wide receiver position and holding wide receivers to under 12.3 PPR fantasy points in three consecutive games.
Considering these fantasy football trends, the challenging matchup against the Browns may prove too difficult for Sutton. The likelihood of his touchdown streak being snapped is high, making him a potential bust for the week. As seemingly all he does is go touchdown-or-bust, but has been favoring on the touchdown side these past few weeks.
