From the article

Franklin is (sorta) in play for Week 10 only if Jaylen Waddle (concussion) is held out. Franklin, meanwhile, has the tenth highest prayer yards rate (unconverted air yards) in the NFL this season. He leads the Denver offense with an average depth of target of nearly 14 yards.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Franklin's deep target profile and Waddle injury create Week 10 upside.

Franklin is in play for Week 10 only if Jaylen Waddle (concussion) is held out. The Broncos have eased off run-first tendencies, now 3 percent over their expected pass rate over the past three weeks (up from 3 percent below in Weeks 1-6), with weekly team air yards rising from 222 in Weeks 1-6 to 265 in Weeks 7-9. Franklin has the tenth highest prayer yards rate in the NFL this season and leads the Denver offense with an average depth of target of nearly 14 yards. If Bo Nix completes long passes, Franklin or Courtland Sutton will likely be the recipients.
