From the episode

Troy Franklin, you know, he can operate as more of like a vertical receiver as opposed to a Pat Bryant. And does that, like, give Cortland Sutton more of the intermediate stuff and then Waddell the short stuff?

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Franklin's vertical WR3 role would preserve Sutton's intermediate opportunities vs. Bryant's intermediate profile.

Matt Harmon identifies Troy Franklin as a potential wide receiver three for the Broncos who operates as a vertical receiver. In contrast to Pat Bryant's intermediate route tree, Franklin's vertical role would allow Cortland Sutton to maintain more intermediate opportunities and Jalen Waddell to focus on short-area touches. Franklin's specific route profile is relevant to how the Broncos' target distribution shapes up among their top receivers.
