DJ Moore vs Troy Franklin: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. DJ Moore finished the 2025 season at 8.5 PPG over 17 games with the Buffalo Bills, while Troy Franklin clocked in at 8.5 across 17 appearances for the Denver Broncos. A 0.0-point gap means any given week could go either way.
With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. DJ Moore turned 85 targets into 682 yards and 6 touchdowns, while Troy Franklin converted 104 looks into 709 yards and 6 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
One scheduling note: DJ Moore is off Week 12 and Troy Franklin Week 14. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in wide receiver for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
