Troy Franklin Expected to See Increased Volume with Bryant Out

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin is expected to see an increased role in Week 17 with Pat Bryant (concussion) ruled out. When Bryant missed Week 15, Franklin ran 62% of routes, out-targeting Lil'Jordan Humphrey 6 to 4 and out-gaining him 85 to 42 yards, making him the better fantasy bet. However, his playing time has been underwhelming since the Week 12 bye, so caution is advised despite the increased opportunity.
