Who Should I Start? Troy Franklin or Emeka Egbuka

Tuesday, November 25, 9:47 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin is having a breakout season in his second year out of Oregon. He leads the team with 81 targets and 46 catches on his way to 509 yards and a team-high five receiving touchdowns. The 9-2 Broncos come out of their bye week with a Sunday Night Football matchup against the Commanders in Week 13, and then they face the Raicers in Week 14. Both of those teams have been top-five matchups for receivers, making Franklin a great scoop and start option if you need to add a WR3 or flex play from the waiver wires. His great matchup against the Raiders in Week 14 also makes him a strong option if you have starting receivers who are part of the last round of bye weeks and can use him as a ready replacement.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 12 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Egbuka has been battling an illness this week, but it's not serious enough to hold him out of this contest. The rookie wideout has slowed down in the second half after his epic beginning to the year. Egbuka has been held to 50 receiving yards or less in three of his last five games. The hope is that he'll rebound in what should be a high-scoring affair against the Rams this weekend. Egbuka has too much upside to keep out of fantasy lineups right now. However, he's probably not anything more than a WR2 at the moment
