Who Should I Start? Troy Franklin or Tory Horton

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.

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Tory Horton (groin, shin) has been ruled out for a big Week 11 divisional contest this Sunday against the hosting Los Angeles Rams and will miss a second straight game, according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. Just when Horton seemed to be coming on strong for the Seahawks offense in his first year -- he had four catches for 48 yards and two touchdowns in his last game on Nov. 2 against the Washington Commanders -- he gets hurt. When the 22-year-old does return to action, he'll be contending with newcomer Rashid Shaheed for targets. Veteran Cooper Kupp is also back from his injury. Horton has caught only 13 passes for 161 yards on 22 targets in his eight games played, but he's managed to find the end zone five times. Head coach Mike Macdonald said Seattle could put Horton on Injured Reserve, which would require him to miss at least four games.
