2023 Fantasy Outlook
Franks started his career as a quarterback but made the transition to tight end last offseason. The undrafted product out of Arkansas didn't secure either of his targets across 11 appearances in 2022 and failed to carve out a role when Kyle Pitts was sidelined, totaling just 51 offensive snaps. A full offseason as a tight end should bode well for Franks' development, but he's still on the roster bubble heading into a contract year. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Franks operated as the backup quarterback to Matt Ryan last year when Josh Rosen was a healthy scratch several times during the second half of the season. Marcus Mariota is expected to be the Falcons' starting quarterback to begin the 2022 campaign, and rookie Desmond Ridder will be the primary backup, which leaves Franks as the third-stringer. However, Franks was working as a tight end during the Falcons' offseason workouts. It's unclear if the move to tight end was permanent or not, but it's unlikely the Arkansas product will be able to find consistent playing time at either position.
An undrafted free agent out of Arkansas, the athletic prospect will try to claim a roster spot as the No. 3 QB behind Matt Ryan and AJ McCarron.
