Who Should I Start? Jahan Dotson or Troy Franklin

Friday, October 24, 10:53 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson will likely step up as second-in-command at his position this week with A.J. Brown sidelined. Typically, Jalen Hurts only gives his top two WRs and Dallas Goedert any notable amount of targets, so with DeVonta Smith sliding into the definitive No.1 slot, there's an opening for some new blood. Dotson has been the third-most productive WR this season for Philly, tallying 111 yards and seven catches on 12 targets. He will line up against the New York Giants on Sunday, who give up the third-most fantasy points to WRs this season. While other offensive weapons will likely take precedent, Dotson is an option for deeper leagues as an emergency FLEX.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin is beginning to build more chemistry with quarterback Bo Nix. Over the last two games, Franklin has seen 18 targets and hauled in nine receptions for 100-plus yards with three touchdowns. The 22-year-old posted a few decent games early in the season, but has really come alive as of late. The two-score effort on Sunday will make Franklin the top waiver priority in plenty of fantasy formats. The six-catch contest in Week 8 was the most for Franklin since Week 2. He has shown an ability to make plays and figures to be a viable flex option going forward.
