Troy Franklin

Troy Franklin continues to hum along as the WR35 in fantasy points per game while ranking second in deep targets and eighth in red zone targets among wide receivers. The last time he faced this pass defense, he was the WR23 for the week, securing five of his nine targets with 40 receiving yards and a score. This week, he faces a Raiders' secondary that, since Week 9, has utilized single high at the third-highest rate (63.8%). Since Week 7, against single high, Franklin has had a team-leading 27% target share and 33.8% first-read share with 2.13 yards per route run. He should lead the way for Denver's passing attack this week. Since Week 9, the Raiders' secondary has allowed the eighth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

Troy Franklin caught three of four targets for 11 yards in the Broncos' 24-17 win over the Raiders.

Fantasy Impact

Franklin has 32 yards over the last two weeks and has seemingly taken a back seat to Pat Bryant. However, he tied Bryant in targets in this game, but the rookie edged him out in yardage. He will look to bounce back against Green Bay next week.
