Troy Franklin

James Koh takes you through his snap share report from Week 13 with players whose stock is up or down.

Franklin had been on a fantasy tear before being slowed by the zone-heavy Washington defense, which limited the team's ability to attack aggressively downfield throughout the evening. It was the first game since Week 6 in which Franklin failed to see eight or more targets after emerging as a true downfield threat as the team's primary Z-type receiver. He will be in a good spot to see his volume return when the Broncos face the Cover-3-heavy Raiders in Week 14.

Franklin caught four of eight targets for 84 yards in Sunday's 22-19 win over the Kansas City.

Franklin and Courtland Sutton are essentially co-WR1s in this offense currently, and Franklin managed to reel in a big catch on an adjustment downfield late to clinch an (easier) game-winning field-goal attempt. He also set up Denver's only touchdown with a 35-yarder that Bo Nix rocketed to exactly the right spot. The Broncos haven't exactly run up the score on anybody besides the Cowboys this year, but Franklin enters the Broncos bye with at least eight targets in each of his last five games and has turned the corner from his early-season prayer yard usage and become a solid WR3.

He had an absolutely essential catch in this game of a low Bo Nix throw on third-and-long at the two-minute warning to keep the Broncos offense on the field. It's not like Courtland Sutton has been a major fantasy football problem this year. The targets are fine. He's scored in four-of-11 games. He's gone over 80 yards five times. But it feels like the Sutton/Troy Franklin alliance has shifted sharply towards Franklin in the last four games. Sutton hasn't cracked 67 yards since Week 7 and has just one touchdown to show for it. He'll be on the WR3 line coming out of Denver's Week 12 bye, but this has felt a little more tenuous than you'd hope lately as Denver has spread the ball around plenty and featured Franklin.
