3 months agoDenver Broncos wide receiver
Troy Franklin (ankle) was able to get through a full practice session on Tuesday. Franklin popped up on the injury report to begin the week, but the fact he was a full participant on Tuesday suggests that he'll be fine for the Week 17 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Franklin hauled in two of his three targets for 25 yards during last week's loss. The rookie wideout hasn't finished with more than two receptions in a single game since Week 7. That being said, Franklin won't be an ideal streaming option for Saturday's game against the Bengals.

Troy Franklin found paydirt for the second time in his career in the 38-6 beatdown of the visiting Atlanta Falcons on Sunday in Week 11 action, catching both of his targets on the day for 15 yards and the score. Franklin was one of four pass-catchers for the Broncos to haul in touchdown passes against a soft Falcons secondary to help the team get back over .500 at 6-5. His touchdown was his first since the Week 5 loss to the Chargers. The 21-year-old rookie out of Oregon has plenty of chemistry with quarterback
Bo Nix from their time together in college, but Franklin, who is rostered in only 1% of Yahoo leagues, just isn't seeing enough volume to be a weekly starting option for fantasy managers. Franklin has only gone over two receptions once in 10 games and still hasn't eclipsed 50 receiving yards in 2024.

5 months agoAfter leading the team in receiving in the Week 8 victory over the New Orleans Saints, Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver
Troy Franklin was barely heard from in the 41-10 blowout loss to the hosting Baltimore Ravens on Sunday in Week 9, catching one of his four targets for a 19-yard pickup. He has had more opportunities in the Broncos' passing attack since
Josh Reynolds (finger) landed on Injured Reserve, but it's led to only nine receptions on 15 targets for 106 yards and a touchdowns in four games. Rookie QB
Bo Nix has spread the ball around quite effectively in recent weeks, and it's clear that it's impossible to trust any receiver beyond
Courtland Sutton in fantasy in this offense. The 21-year-old Franklin has a 14-135-1 line in his first eight NFL games and won't be a recommended fantasy play in Week 10 versus the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs on the road.

Troy Franklin caught 1-of-2 targets for six yards in Sunday's 28-14 win over the Carolina Panthers, adding three yards on his lone carry. It appeared that the rookie wideouts usage was trending up over the last few weeks, and Sunday's outing against Carolina was an excellent spot for a breakout game against one of the league's worst defenses. However, WR1
Courtland Sutton totaled 100 yards on his eight receptions, and tight end
Adam Trautman had a surprising performance as the team's second-leading receiver (4/85/1). Fantasy managers likely weren't relying on Franklin -- still, it would have been encouraging to see him more involved in the game plan. The Broncos will square off against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 9, so perhaps the Oregon product sees more work in a more competitive matchup.
