Who Should I Start? Troy Franklin or Emeka Egbuka

Friday, September 19, 10:45 PM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin currently leads the team in catches (12), targets (15), and receiving yards (133). He had four grabs for 44 yards in the Week 1 win over the Titans. However, the 22-year-old turned up the volume in the Week 2 loss to the Indianapolis Colts by amassing eight receptions for 89 yards and one touchdown. Despite his production throughout the Broncos' first two contests, he's still not a threat to overthrow Courtland Sutton for the No. 1 spot on the depth chart, at least not as of right now. Denver will meet the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 3. While the Chargers defense could be a problem, Franklin can still be viewed as at least a flex option in most fantasy formats, especially since it appears he has a good thing going with former collegiate teammate and current Broncos quarterback Bo Nix.

When asked if Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie first-round wide receiver Emeka Egbuka is a potential Rookie of the Year candidate in 2025, head coach Todd Bowles said, "Right now, we don't even consider him a rookie." Egbuka was the talk of training camp this summer, and he's carried it over into the first regular-season games of his NFL career, catching 14 of his 21 targets for 181 yards and three touchdowns as the WR2 with Chris Godwin (ankle) still out. The Ohio State product had three touchdowns in his first two games and then set season highs in catches (six), targets (eight), and receiving yards (85) in the Week 3 win over the New York Jets on Sunday. Egbuka will have more competition for targets when Godwin returns (possibly in Week 4), but the rookie will remain a big part of the passing attack all year long. He has quickly become a must-start in all fantasy leagues.
