Who Should I Start? Jerry Jeudy or Troy Franklin

Saturday, October 4, 10:24 AM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy will take on the Minnesota Vikings in London in Week 5. Jeudy has been quiet to start the season, catching 13 passes for 182 scoreless yards through four games. He is unlikely to break out against a Vikings defense that is allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts this season, especially with quarterback Dillon Gabriel making his NFL debut. Jeudy is best treated as a WR4 heading into Week 5, although the absence of Cedric Tillman (hamstring) might push a bit more work onto Jeudy's plate.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin falls to the third option for Broncos quarterback Bo Nix while facing the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 5. He caught three of five targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Eagles. Courtland Sutton and Evan Engram were first and second on the team with 10 and six targets. While Franklin has seemed to be on the field the second most out of any of the receiving group, the 22-year-old has been underwhelming for fantasy lineups since his explosive outing in Week 2. With Broncos head coach Sean Payton preferring taller wide receivers, this could be one of the primary reasons Franklin has been on the field more than anyone else. Still, he will need to capitalize on his opportunities more frequently before he can be trusted in fantasy lineups. Franklin is a boom or bust FLEX option in a plus matchup against the New York Jets in Week 6.
