Scores vs. Gamecocks
Franklin gathered in 4 of 7 targets for 39 yards and one touchdown during Tuesday's 21-17 victory versus South Carolina.
ANALYSIS
Franklin scored his fourth touchdown of the season against South Carolina en route to Illinois' 10-win season. The wideout had an excellent bounce-back campaign after a down year with Ole Miss in 2023, reeling in 55 catches for 652 yards along with the four touchdowns this year. He'll have one season of eligibility remaining should he choose to use it.

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.
