Troy Franklin’s Week 6 Preview Broncos Face Off Against Jets
In Week 6, the Denver Broncos are set to face off against the New York Jets. Fantasy enthusiasts have their eyes on Troy Franklin, who is currently ranked as WR41 in terms of fantasy points per game.
Troy Franklin’s Performance
Franklin has delivered two standout performances this season, achieving placements within the top 36 (WR7 and WR36) for wide receiver finishes. He is also a key player to watch due to his effectiveness in the red zone. His impressive stats include three deep targets and a ranking of eighth-best among wide receivers for red zone targets.
Matchup Details Against the Jets
This week’s game against the Jets is anticipated to be favorable for Franklin. Courtland Sutton, another Broncos wide receiver, might face shadow coverage from Jets’ cornerback Sauce Gardner. This coverage can create an opportunity for Franklin to work against Brandon Stephens, who has allowed a 68.2% catch rate and a 129.9 passer rating, potentially benefiting Franklin’s performance.
Analyzing Franklin’s season so far:
- Target share: 17.6%
- Yards per route run: 1.62 (46.2 receiving yards per game)
- Route share: 73.7%
- First-read share: 18.5%
Defensive Trends
The New York Jets have predominantly utilized a single-high defense in 57.6-61.8% of their snaps over three of five games. Franklin has effectively adapted to this defensive tactic, increasing his yards per route run to 1.95 against single-high coverage.
Given these dynamics, Franklin is projected to have a strong showing as a flexible play in Week 6 for fantasy football participants. The Jets’ defense has shown vulnerability, allowing the 12th-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers, possibly paving the way for Franklin’s success.
