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

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Receives endorsement from teammate
TEAtlanta Falcons
August 13, 2022
Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts thinks that Franks is "going to flourish" as he makes the transition from quarterback to tight end this preseason, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Franks has worked almost exclusively at tight end during training camp, and he caught one pass for five yards during the Falcons' preseason opener Friday night. Pitts also referenced his former collegiate teammate's athleticism and football IQ as factors that will make him a successful pass catcher in the NFL. Franks reportedly bulked up and worked on his route running this offseason while switching positions, though he'll have to continue to prove his ability if he wants to secure a spot at tight end on Atlanta's final 53-man roster.

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.
