• Broncos' Troy Franklin: Nabs long catch

  8H ago • By RotoWire

  Franklin recorded four receptions on five targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Jaguars. Franklin retained a solid role in the Denver offense despite the return of Pat Bryant (head), tying for third on the team in targets. He produced little for much of the game, though he ended with a solid yardage total thanks to a long 48-yard touchdown grab early in the fourth quarter. Franklin has re-emerged in the Broncos' offense, recording 10 catches for 151 yards combined across the last two games. He should continue to see added opportunity if Bryant is forced to miss Denver's Week 17 matchup Thursday.

• Broncos' Troy Franklin: Returns to prominent role

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Franklin recorded six receptions on six targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers. Franklin had been phased out of the Denver offense in the last two games, combining to earn only seven targets. However, he reemerged due to Pat Bryant (hamstring) being sidelined, finishing second on the team in yards, receptions and targets. Franklin had a trio of catches that went for at least 15 yards, the most important of which was a 23-yard touchdown grab to end the third quarter. He made the case to remain a key part of Denver's offense moving forward, though his role is uncertain heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Jaguars -- particularly if Bryant can return to the field.

• Broncos' Troy Franklin: WRs to Sit

  11D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Franklin is struggling coming into Week 15 against the Packers, and he's a questionable Fantasy option even in three-receiver leagues. In his past two outings against Washington and Las Vegas, which are favorable matchups, Franklin has combined for just five catches for 33 yards and no touchdowns on seven targets. He's losing playing time to Pat Bryant, and Franklin still has to contend with Courtland Sutton as well. Prior to Week 13, Franklin had scored at least 12.4 PPR points in four of his previous five games, so he could bounce back at any time. But the Packers have only allowed seven receivers to score more than 12 PPR points this season and just one in their past four games. Sutton is worth trusting as a low-end No. 2 Fantasy option, but Franklin will likely have another down game in Week 15.

• Broncos' Troy Franklin: Remains muted in Week 14

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Franklin was held to three receptions on four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Raiders. Franklin continued starting opposite Courtland Sutton (6-62-0), but the former appears to have fallen out of favor after finishing in a tie with Pat Bryant (4-32-0) for third in team targets. The 22-year-old Franklin is averaging 2.5 receptions and 11.0 yards in the two games coming out of Denver's Week 12 bye. Franklin's volatility on a week-to-week basis makes the wideout hard to trust outside of deeper fantasy formats against the Packers next Sunday.

• Broncos' Troy Franklin: Cools off on SNF

  21D ago • By RotoWire

  Franklin had two receptions on three targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 27-26 overtime win over the Commanders. Franklin cooled off considerably after seemingly taking over the No. 1 WR role for the Broncos in recent weeks. Courtland Sutton reclaimed that honor with a clean 5-62-1 receiving line that dwarfed Franklin's production on the national stage. The latter is still producing a strong sophomore campaign with 48 receptions for 530 yards and five touchdowns across 12 contests, but it hasn't been a smooth ride getting there. Franklin has been held under 40 receiving yards in half of his appearances this season, making him a volatile starting option with plenty of upside against the Raiders in Week 14.
