Stidham connected twice with Troy Franklin for Denver, first on a 27 yard TD and then a 17 yard strike late in the second, pushing the Broncos to a 24-7 halftime edge over Arizona. The quarterback finished the opening half 14 of 20 for 228 yards with two touchdowns, demonstrating accuracy and rhythm on both shorter and intermediate routes. Franklin showed big play ability in both catches, hinting at a budding chemistry that could unlock Denver’s aerial attack in fantasy lineups.

This two TD moment for Franklin and Stidham creates a clear fantasy storyline: a Broncos passing game that looks efficient and capable of producing volume targets, with Franklin emerging as a must-watch flex upside if the connection continues. If Denver sticks with this rhythm, Stidham and Franklin could become viable streamer options, while the rest of the offense will impact weekly projections as the season unfolds.
