Finds end zone in loss
Franklin notched five receptions (on 11 targets) for 71 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 25-17 defeat versus Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Franklin found the end zone on a 21-yard pass from quarterback Luke Altmyer in the third quarter, giving the Fighting Illini a 17-16 lead at the time. The senior receiver has now recorded back-to-back games with 11 targets and over 70 receiving yards, indicating that his role within the Illinois passing attack appears to be increasing down the stretch of the 2024 season. Franklin will hope to continue his positive momentum in a home battle against Michigan State following this week's bye.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Even at a smaller school like UTSA, Franklin's production over the last three years is quick to jump out. He's led the team in receiving production in each of his first three years, and now he heads into his senior season with a fifth-year quarterback (Frank Harris) fresh off a 27-touchdown season. Franklin has always been good, but 2022 could be the best version yet, even after a junior season that saw him catch 81 receptions for 1,027 yards and 12 touchdowns on 125 targets.
