Who Should I Start? Troy Franklin or Malik Washington

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.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington found the end zone for the second time in the last three weeks on Sunday against the Bills, and he caught multiple passes for the eighth week in a row. He has a good matchup against the Commanders this week, but his yardage totals have been underwhelming in the Dolphins' conservative passing scheme. While Washington has 30 catches, he only has 192 yards this year, and last week, he only had nine yards on his two catches. He saved his fantasy week with a touchdown against the Bills, but this week he's the No. 52 wide receiver in RotoBaller's rankings, even against the Commanders, who give up the third-most fantasy points to receivers. The Dolphins haven't given him many chances for big plays, although his volume of targets and catches does make him a deep league option to monitor.
