Troy Franklin fantasy outlook for Week 3

Troy Franklin was elected by the Denver Broncos in the NFL DRaft last year to pair with college teammate Bo Nix in their rookie seasons. The wide receiver failed to carve out much of a role in their offense, totaling just 28 receptions across 16 games.

His second season has been a much different story so far, including 12 receptions in just his first two games. This includes a breakout performance last week when he finished as the weekly WR8 in fantasy football. He will try to carry his momentum into a Week 3 matchup against a tough Los Angeles Chargers defense.

Quentin Johnston fantasy outlook for Week 3

Quentin Johnston has been fairly disappointing across his two seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers so far, finishing as the overall WR75 and WR37. He has been much more impressive to kick off year three, currently ranking as the overall WR5 as Week 3 approaches.

The wide receivers appears to have earned the trsut of Justin Herbert this year as he has been targeted seven times in each of their first two games. He has overcome the addition of Keenan Allen to their offense during the offseason and makes for an interesting fantasy football pick this week, especially with Ladd McConkey likely dealing with Patrick Surtain in coverage.

Quentin Johnston is the recommended wide receiver to use in Week 3 fantasy football lineups over Troy Franklin. The two rising talents will face off against each other when the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers meet in an improtant AFC West divisional clash.

Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool projects that Johnston will outscore Frankling by the narrowest of margins this week. Both of them have a similar fantasy outlook with a dangerously low floor, but Johnston has been more impressive so far this year, giving him a higher ceiling. This essentially makes him a better fantasy pick.
