2. Courtland Sutton logs 150 yards for second consecutive week

Courtland Sutton made his return in Week 1 after missing the majority of the 2020 season due to a torn ACL. Sutton was held relatively in check against the New York Giants, where he was held to just one reception for 14 yards. There was an expectation that Sutton would bounce back in a favorable matchup against the Jaguars, and did he ever.

Facing the Jaguars, Sutton hauled in nine receptions for 159 yards (both career-highs) on a staggering 12 targets from Bridgewater. Sutton was breaking away from Jaguars defenders, hence the heavy dose of targets.

Sutton’s next matchup is not exactly hard, considering D.J. Moore of the Pnathers thrived against the Jets. Considering Bridgewater has the likes of Noah Fant, Tim Patrick and K.J. Hamler at his disposal, it is not out of the realm of possibility that Sutton will be fed a lot against New York.

Another 15-yard performance looks to be in the cards for Sutton.
