Troy Franklin

Troy Franklin is also back on the fantasy radar. 4-66 with a beautiful 48-yard catch on six targets.
Franklin was back to relevance without Bryant in Week 15 going six for 85 and 1 TD on six targets.
Pat Bryant took a brutal hit late in the fourth quarter that forced him to be carted off the field on a stretcher.
If Bryant misses another week, Franklin can be a WR3/FLEX play.
He's scored five TDs in the last nine games—8-plus targets in five of nine, and four games with more than 40 receiving yards.

Troy Franklin secured all four of his targets for only 17 yards in Thursday's win over the Chiefs.

Fantasy Impact

Franklin has been frustratingly difficult to project throughout the season for fantasy managers. The second-year receiver did make four grabs Thursday, but his longest gain went for just six yards. This comes on the heels of a combined 10 receptions for 151 yards and a touchdown over the previous two weeks. Franklin will go up against the Chargers' sixth-ranked pass defense in Week 18.
