Who Should I Start? Devin Duvernay or Troy Franklin

Thursday, August 28, 7:14 PM

The Chicago Bears announced that they have re-signed wide receiver Devin Duvernay to their active roster one day after releasing him. A third-round pick in 2020, Duvernay spent the first four years of his career with the Baltimore Ravens before joining the Jacksonville Jaguars last season. The 27-year-old hasn't posed much of an offensive threat, having totaled 105 receptions, 977 yards, and five touchdowns in 72 games. Duvernay has stood out on special teams, on the other hand, with a pair of Pro Bowl nods as a return man. He'll mainly serve as a return specialist for the Bears while providing depth in a WR corps led by DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, Olamide Zaccheaus, and Luther Burden III.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin had a modest game in his team's Week 9 win over the Houston Texans, recording four catches for 27 yards. However, Franklin led the team in targets (10) for the second straight week. Perhaps most notably, Franklin has now matched or exceeded the target volume of presumed Broncos WR1 Courtland Sutton in four consecutive games. Across nine games in 2025, Franklin has hauled in 37 catches for 385 yards and four touchdowns on 64 targets, two more targets than Sutton has seen (62) across the same number of games. In any fantasy leagues where Franklin is not already rostered, he's a priority waiver-wire target due to his emerging role in Denver heading into a favorable Week 10 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
