When the Denver Broncos visit the Bengals in Cincinnati in Week 17, wide receiver Courtland Sutton will try to get back on the scoresheet in a game that has significant postseason ramifications for both teams.

The veteran wideout will be looking to help the Broncos beat Cincinnati in Week 17, as that would help Denver clinch its first postseason berth since 2015.

The 29-year-old receiver has been durable this season, as he is yet to miss any game for the Broncos. Barring any late injury setbacks in pregame warm-ups, he is expected to make his 16th appearance of the season on Saturday.

The Broncos have a relatively clean injury report going into the game, as only one player on the team is carrying an injury designation into Week 17. RB Tyler Badie is dealing with a back injury that saw him designated "questionable" for the game, even though he didn't miss any practice during the week.

Has Courtland Sutton been good this season?

As he continues to gel with rookie quarterback Bo Nix, Courtland Sutton has played some of his best football of the season in recent weeks. He has caught 29 passes from 42 targets for 359 yards and three scores in his last five games.

This season, Sutton has been above average overall, with great physical qualities and the ability to occasionally make big plays. But because of his inconsistent output and dependence on particular circumstances to perform well, he hasn't been regarded as one of the best receivers.

Sutton has caught 71 passes for 928 receiving yards and six touchdowns in 15 games this season.

How to watch Denver Broncos vs. Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17?

The game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Denver Broncos is one of three games scheduled for Saturday of the second to last week of the 2024 NFL regular season.

Ahead of the 2024 season, Denver was not thought to be a postseason contender, but under rookie quarterback Bo Nix, the team has become one of the NFL's biggest surprise packages. The Bengals, on the other hand, were predicted to contend in the AFC this season, but inconsistent defensive performances have left them outside the playoff picture in Week 17.

To remain in the running for the playoffs, the Bengals need to win on Saturday at Paycor Stadium. Meanwhile, a victory for the Broncos would guarantee them a spot in the postseason. If the club loses today but beats the Kansas City Chiefs, who have been guaranteed the No. 1 seed in the AFC, in Week 18, they will still qualify for the playoffs.
