Waddle's arrival expected to drastically reduce Franklin's snap count and target share.
Troy FranklinDEN
In his second season (2025), Franklin was a big part of Denver's passing plans with 104 targets, 65 receptions, 709 yards, and 6 touchdowns—all ranking second on the Broncos behind only Sutton. Nearly half of his catches resulted in first downs. However, with Jaylen Waddle's acquisition, Franklin's involvement is expected to drop drastically. He lined up at wideout 670 times last year, but Waddle's presence will cut his snaps significantly. In 11 personnel packages, the team may prefer Pat Bryant due to his run-blocking ability, and Marvin Mims Jr. is considered superior at ball tracking downfield.
