Who Should I Start? Troy Franklin or Jaylin Lane

Tuesday, November 18, 4:43 PM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin has separated himself as the top target earner for the team in recent weeks. Franklin led the Broncos, tied for the team lead in targets, in their 22-19 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11 and led them with 84 receiving yards. The second-year wideout caught multiple long balls for 30+ yard gains, including a 32-yard catch on Denver's final drive to set up the game-winning field goal. Franklin has 34 targets over the last four weeks, tied for fourth most in the league and 12 more than teammate Courtland Sutton in that span. Franklin has established himself as a legitimate fantasy option and should continue to be productive in Week 13 against the Washington Commanders after their Week 12 bye.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jaylin Lane (hip) exited during the second quarter of Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Miami Dolphins. He is officially listed as questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had caught just one pass for 13 yards. Washington continues to be quite short-staffed at the wide receiver position, losing Lane in addition to the existing absences of Terry McLaurin (quad), Noah Brown (groin, knee), and Luke McCaffrey (shoulder). Robbie Chosen and Chris Moore will fill Lane's void alongside Deebo Samuel Sr.
