Troy Franklin had 8-10 targets every game in a five-week stretch mid-season last year for the Broncos under Sean Payton's scheme, but the experiment failed and Courtland Sutton returned to the primary receiving role. This context illustrates Payton's willingness to experiment with yards-after-catch receivers but also shows the volatility of role assignments.NegativeDepth ChartAug 17, 2026
Franklin was the next man up at wide receiver after Sutton and Bryant, though the Broncos were also without Marvin Mims (leg) in this game.NegativeUsageAug 17, 2026
WR Troy Franklin got plenty of playing time early on for the Broncos, though the source notes not much point evaluating that without Jaylen Waddle around.NegativeRoleAug 11, 2026
Franklin is referenced as a comparable player for Pat Bryant's projected role in the Broncos' offense. McKechnie notes that if Bryant projects to get the type of route and snap share that Troy Franklin had a year ago, there's a path for Bryant to be a useful best ball pick.NegativeDepth ChartJul 27, 2026
Provides strong depth at wide receiver and is likely competing with Pat Bryant for the No. 3 WR role this summer; even if he plays well in real life, it's unclear whether he'll get enough snaps to matter for fantasy.NegativeRoleJul 23, 2026
Franklin is competing with Pat Bryant for limited WR3 snaps in Denver's crowded offense. The source notes that Franklin has vertical and YAC strengths, while Bryant excels over the middle and on contested catches. If Franklin convincingly outplays Bryant, he could have subtle upside in an offense that figures to throw often, though coach Sean Payton may platoon the two. Waddle's durability concerns and Denver's strong field position add to potential opportunity.
