Courtland Sutton is the [Denver Broncos](https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/denver-broncos)' No. 1 wide receiver through seven games this season, but you wouldn't know it thanks to the slow start he's off to in Week 8 against the [Dallas Cowboys](https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/dallas-cowboys).
Sutton entered the game with 469 receiving yards and three touchdowns. His yardage output is 200 more than the next closest wideout, Troy Franklin.
However, Sutton is off to a lackluster beginning to the Week 8 contest against the Cowboys. Here's some insight into what's going on.
Is Courtland Sutton playing today?
----------------------------------
Yes, Sutton is active and in the lineup, he just hasn't been targeted yet.
Denver's offense is playing well, but Bo Nix hasn't targeted Sutton and instead has been throwing to Franklin, Pat Bryant and Evan Engram.
The Broncos have also broken some big runs over their three drives thus far, so that has further limited Sutton's opportunity to produce.
We'll see if he can get going on drive No. 4.
