The Denver Broncos play the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 14. The first time around, the former downed the latter 10-7. Wide receiver Troy Franklin scored a touchdown — and looked like the Broncos’ No. 1 wide receiver. He’s in play again in Week 14. Let’s see who else we should start on the Broncos.

Bo Nix

The Raiders’ defense is No. 16 in passing yards allowed per game, but this is about Nix. He’s attempted 35-plus passes in three of his past five games. In those games, Nix has just three touchdowns, though. That said, he has totaled 300-plus scrimmage yards in two of those three games. Nix is waiting to explode.

RJ Harvey

The Raiders’ defense has allowed 115-plus rushing yards in three of their past five matchups, including five touchdowns. Harvey, meanwhile, has totaled 30 touches in two games sans fellow running back J.K. Dobbins — 14 touches in Week 11 and 16 touches in Week 13. Harvey is a flex — with RB2 upside — with a 15-touch floor. The efficiency hasn’t been there (yet), but Broncos head coach Sean Payton said that had “nothing to do with the runner.”

Troy Franklin

Franklin played on a season-low 52.9% of the offensive snaps after playing on 65% of the snaps heading into Week 13. In Week 14, he plays the Las Vegas Raiders again. The first time around, Franklin totaled five receptions on nine targets for 40 yards and a touchdown. He is No. 46 in PFSN’s WR Impact Score. And the Broncos’ offense is No. 14 in PFSN’s Offense Impact Score as well. So, leave fellow wide receiver Courtland Sutton on the bench. We jumped the gun.

Secret Sleepers: Add These Players in Week 14
Benton Strange

Strange is the George Kittle bye-week replacement. He has at least four targets in both games since returning from injury — and at least 13.5 fantasy points. Now, Strange faces off against the Indianapolis Colts, allowing the fourth-most fantasy points to tight ends. In fact, the Colts have allowed at least 65-plus yards and six receptions to tight ends in four of their past five outings.

This is all about the matchup. The Vikings’ defense has allowed at least 110 rushing yards in five of their past six matchups, including seven touchdowns. In fact, the Vikings’ defense has allowed a running back to score a touchdown in six straight games. Rodriguez Jr. meanwhile, has totaled at least 11 touches in back-to-back games — and 9.5 fantasy points. He is the Christian McCaffrey bye-week replacement.

Darnell Mooney

Mooney is the Tetairoa McMilan bye-week replacement. We all know fellow wide receiver Drake London is out, but that’s not why Mooney is in play in Week 14. The latter has at least five targets in three of the past five games. Mooney is an all-or-nothing flex play because the Seattle Seahawks’ defense has allowed a touchdown to a wide receiver in three of their past five games as well. How lucky do you feel?
