Troy Franklin Emerges as Key Broncos Receiver, Dominates Targets with Blowup Week 8 Performance

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin is heating up just as the fantasy football playoffs loom, headlining the list of best waiver wire additions for Week 9. Known for his high-ceiling potential, Franklin delivered a significant blowup performance in Week 8, recording an 8/89/2 line against the Cowboys. During this game, he commanded 30% of the Broncos' targets and 38% of their air yards. Currently ranked as the WR22 on the year, Franklin has solidified his role as the clear No. 2 option in the Denver offense, potentially challenging Courtland Sutton for 1B status, making him a must-roster and start in most fantasy formats despite a tough upcoming matchup against the Texans.
