Troy Franklin News
Saturday, October 10, 9:54 AM
Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin could be in line for more playing time Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers after Pat Bryant (ankle) landed on injured reserve. The problem is that Franklin has already been getting snaps without seeing much of the football. He played 30 offensive snaps against San Francisco last week, more than Bryant or Marvin Mims Jr., but wasn't targeted once. Franklin has only two catches for 48 yards on four targets through Week 4, a sharp drop from last season's 65 receptions for 709 yards and six touchdowns. Sean Payton taking back the play-calling duties adds another wrinkle to Denver's offense, and the Chargers will be without Donte Jackson (hamstring) and Derwin James (hamstring) in their secondary. Neither development changes the fact that Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton remain ahead of Franklin for receiving work. RotoBaller has him at WR66 in its updated Week 5 rankings. Until the targets start coming, Franklin belongs on fantasy benches even in most deeper leagues.

Jaylin Lane News
Tuesday, October 6, 3:12 PM
The Washington Commanders officially placed second-year wide receiver Jaylin Lane (ankle) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Tuesday, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. Lane suffered a season-ending ankle injury in London's loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday and had to be carted off the field. The injury came on a kickoff return in Week 4. The 24-year-old fractured and dislocated his left ankle and will need surgery. The former fourth-rounder in 2025 from Virginia Tech caught 16 of his 32 targets for 225 yards and no touchdowns in 15 games (four starts) in D.C. in his first year in the NFL, and he had just two catches for 25 yards for the Commanders in his first four games this year before getting hurt on Sunday. Lane was not on the fantasy football radar to begin with in single-year leagues in 2026. Now that he is out for the rest of the year, receiver Dyami Brown is expected to take over the team's primary kick-return duties on special teams.
