Week 11 of the 2025 NFL season rolls on and the action will continue this afternoon with a big AFC West rivalry game featuring the Kansas City Chiefs visiting the Denver Broncos at 4:25 p.m. ET on CBS.
It wasn’t pretty, but the Broncos secured their seventh straight win in a 10-7 triumph over the Raiders last Thursday night and continues to maintain their spot atop the division standings. Wide receiver Troy Franklin was a central piece of that victory as he continued what has been a breakout second-year campaign for the team.
Below, we’ll go over Franklin’s outlook in fantasy football for Week 11.
Fantasy Football analysis: Broncos WR Troy Franklin
Franklin caught five of nine targets for 40 yards and the team’s only touchdown in last Thursday’s victory over the Raiders. That now marks five touchdowns on the year for the second-year pass catcher from Oregon and he enters Week 11 as a top-25 fantasy receiver in all scoring formats. He actually leads the Broncos in targets with an average of 7.3 per game, so it appears that the chemistry between him and Bo Nix has carried over from Eugene to the Mile High City.
Today’s matchup does present an obstacle as he’ll be matched up against one of the best pass defenses in the entire league. The Chiefs are the only defense that has yet to give up 1,000 yards to opposing wide receivers this season and are yielding just 14.7 fantasy points per game to wideouts. We’ll see if he can break through for a big outing this afternoon.
Start or sit in Week 11?
Start. This is a tough matchup for Franklin but given the amount of targets he acquires on a weekly basis, I trust him to break through for another solid fantasy effort this afternoon. He could inch closer to being a top-20 fantasy wideout, so keep starting him if you have him on your roster.
