Troy Franklin Rebounds with 85 Yards, Touchdown; Reclaims Prominent Role

Troy Franklin re-emerged as a key part of the Broncos' passing attack, catching all six of his targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in Denver's 34-26 win over the Packers. After being phased out in the previous two games, a hamstring injury to Pat Bryant opened the door for Franklin to step up. He finished second on the team in yards, receptions, and targets, including a 23-yard touchdown grab. While his role for Week 16 remains uncertain if Bryant returns, Franklin made a strong case to maintain a prominent offensive role.
