In a week in which it seemed almost everyone got injured, the Broncos were perhaps hit the hardest. Drew Lock will be sidelined for at least 2 weeks, but even worse, emerging star Courtland Sutton, who made his season debut this Sunday, had his season come to an end almost as soon as it started:

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (knee) tore his ACL in the Week 2 loss to the Steelers and will miss the rest of the 2020 season, according to a source. It’s a brutal injury for Sutton and the Broncos just as he returned to action after missing the season-opening loss to the Titans with a shoulder injury. Denver also lost quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) for a few weeks, so it’ll be Jeff Driskel under center moving forward throwing to rookies Jerry Jeudy and K.J. Hamler, Tim Patrick and tight end Noah Fant, who has become the best fantasy asset on this team through two weeks. Sutton was in play as a strong WR2 this year after a breakout 2019 performance.

It’s a tough blow for fantasy players everywhere, as Sutton was coming off the board in the early fifth round as the WR23. While he underwhelmed at the end of the year after Lock took over, he was still a strong candidate to make a jump along with the excitingly youthful Broncos offense. Now, the Broncos will turn to the young core of Jerry Jeudy, Noah Fant, and K.J. Hamler to replace this production.
