The Denver Broncos head coach is pleased with what he's seeing from Troy Franklin.
has gone from a no-name rookie struggling for reps to the Broncos' most-targeted receiver over the past two games, leading some around the league to tap him as a fantasy must-have.
“I think there’s a confidence not only what he’s doing, but confidence in playing at this level," Payton said of Franklin. "You certainly see it week to week." "He’s someone that runs well," Payton continued on Franklin. "He knows how to separate. I think it’s part of being a young player, but particularly for him as a receiver, finding that role. He’s playing lot of ‘Z’ for us, sometimes in the slot, but I think he’s progressing pretty quickly.
