Broncos' Troy Franklin: Returns to prominent role
Troy 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: Remains muted in Week 14
Troy 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
Troy 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 Denver 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.

Broncos' Troy Franklin: Leading receiver in big win
Troy Franklin caught four of eight targets for 84 yards in Sunday's 22-19 win over the Kansas City.The second-year wideout tied Courtland Sutton in receptions and targets, but it was Franklin who led the Denver Broncos in receiving yards, including a 32-yard gain in the final minute of the fourth quarter that set up Wil Lutz for the game-winning field goal. Franklin's chemistry with Bo Nix continues to shine, and over the last five games he's delivered a 22-259-4 line on 45 targets, compared to Sutton's 18-267-1 line on 34 targets during the same period.

Broncos' Troy Franklin: Gets into end zone Thursday
Troy Franklin brought in five of nine targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in the Denver Broncos' 10-7 win over the Raiders on Thursday night.Franklin was the only Broncos player to get into the end zone Thursday, making a tough seven-yard touchdown grab late in the first half. The second-year wideout also led Denver in receptions and targets, and his recent ascension in the passing offense has been impossible to ignore -- Franklin has 37 targets over the last four games alone. The Oregon product should be busy again in Week 11, as the Chiefs pay the Broncos a visit on Sunday, Nov. 16 for a critical divisional showdown.

Broncos' Troy Franklin: Does little with big target volume
Troy Franklin caught four of 10 targets for 27 yards and lost four rushing yards on two carries in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Texans. He added a two-point conversion.The second-year wideout was Bo Nix's top option on the day in terms of targets, but Franklin had trouble getting open against a stingy Houston secondary. It's the second time in the last three weeks Franklin's gotten double-digit looks from his college teammate Nix, and on the season he's put together a 37-385-4 line on 64 targets, making him more of a 1B alongside Courtland Sutton than the Denver Broncos' No. 2 receiver. Franklin should find more room to operate in Week 10 against the Raiders.

Broncos' Troy Franklin: Leading receiver with two TDs
Troy Franklin had six receptions on eight targets for 89 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's 44-24 win over the Cowboys.Franklin matched his previous season highs in receptions (eight) and yards (89) set back in Week 2, but he usurped that fantasy score by hitting pay dirt twice in Week 8. The second-year wideout finished below 20 receiving yards in three out of the five contests in between his standout performances, highlighting his volatility as a fantasy asset on a week-to-week basis. Managers should be wary of Franklin's downside before starting him ahead of more-proven options in a tough matchup against the Texans next Sunday.

Broncos' Troy Franklin: Hits paydirt against Giants
Troy Franklin caught three of 10 targets for 19 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 33-32 win over the Giants.Franklin finished the contest tied for the team lead in targets with fellow wideout Courtland Sutton, with the 10 targets being a season high for the 22-year-old. Despite the increased involvement, Franklin struggled to connect with quarterback Bo Nix, and his touchdown early in the fourth quarter was actually a tipped pass intended for Sutton that Franklin was able secure in the back of the end zone. The Oregon product has been mostly underwhelming as a fantasy option for the past month, but his role as Denver's No. 2 wide receiver has earned him 46 targets through seven games. As long as he continues to see that kind of volume, Franklin will at least be a viable option for fantasy managers dealing with bye weeks. Next up for the Denver Broncos is a home matchup against the Cowboys and their struggling pass defense.

Broncos' Troy Franklin: Fumble erases low output Sunday
Troy Franklin brought in three of four targets for 19 yards and a lost fumble while taking one carry for two yards in Sunday's 13-11 win over the Jets.Franklin's day in London got off to a rubbish start when he coughed up the first fumble of his career on his first reception of the contest. The silver lining for fantasy managers was that the wideout remained involved offensively following the turnover, receiving three more touches in the narrow win. Franklin has shown flashes of upside early in his sophomore campaign, but Sunday's dud is an example of the inconsistency he can exhibit. The 22-year-old's value is likely limited to deeper formats in next Sunday's tilt against the Giants.

Broncos' Troy Franklin: Modest numbers in Week 5 win
Troy Franklin secured three of five targets for 35 yards in the Denver Broncos' 21-17 win over the Eagles on Sunday. He also recorded a two-point conversion catch.Franklin was a distant second in receiving yards to Courtland Sutton on the afternoon, and he tied for third in targets while recording a two-point conversion following Evan Engram's fourth-quarter touchdown grab. Franklin, Bo Nix's former Oregon teammate, has no fewer than four and as many as nine targets over Denver's first five games, but he's posted 44 receiving yards or fewer in three of those contests. Franklin will likely remain a relatively middling fantasy option in a Week 6 matchup against the Jets in London.
