Start: DEN WR Troy Franklin vs. LV CB Kyu Blu Kelly
Franklin landed on my “Hate” list last week, but he landed on the “Love” list this week. Franklin has seen a total of 28 targets over the last three games, which is the eighth most in the NFL over the last three weeks. The former Oregon Duck has a juicy matchup against a Raiders secondary that is giving up nearly 225 passing yards a game. Plug Franklin somewhere into your lineup if you have him.
Bench: MIA WR Jaylen Waddle vs. BUF CB Christian Benford
Waddle has put up some good stat lines the past two weeks, but this week could be a struggle for him. Buffalo has owned the Dolphins in recent years, and they have the NFL’s second-best pass defense, surrendering just under 170 passing yards a game. Waddle had just five catches for 39 yards against the Bills earlier this season, but he did have a touchdown, salvaging his fantasy value a bit for that game. It is hard to trust Tua and his decision-making against great defenses this season.
