Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin saw another dropoff in snap share during the 20-13 win against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17. After posting an uptrend in snaps with 50% in Week 15 and 64% in Week 16, Franklin was only on the field for 38% of snaps in Week 17 despite not having to compete with rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant (concussion) for snaps. Franklin still caught all four of his targets for a modest 17 yards and no touchdowns. The Broncos will host the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 18, and Franklin will seemingly remain a volatile option until otherwise noted.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin travels to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17 for a Christmas game matchup. Franklin has been thrown back into a relevant role after trending downward for two straight games following the Week 12 bye, after recording a 64% offensive snap share in Week 16. Rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant will also be out for Week 17 with a concussion that was suffered in the final minute of the Week 16 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, which relegates the competition for snaps. After putting up 84 yards on four catches in the Week 11 matchup against the Chiefs, RotoBaller has Franklin ranked as the WR33 overall for Week 17.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin gets a bump in snap share during the 34-20 loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16. Ending the day with five targets for four catches and 66 yards with zero touchdowns, the most notable piece is that Franklin found himself on the field for 64% of the Broncos' offensive snaps. After seeing snap percentages of 53%, 26%, and 50% in each of the three games since the Week 12 bye, this is an encouraging sign that he could be more involved for the rest of the season. Rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant suffered a concussion in the final minutes of this game and likely won't be available for the Week 17 Thursday Night Football matchup with the Chiefs, potentially projecting more opportunities for Franklin in that game.
Dec 22, 2025 12:24 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin is aiming to stay efficient against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16. After booming again in Week 15 with six of six targets caught for 85 yards and a touchdown, adding one carry for three yards, Franklin could potentially cede snaps to the return of rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant. However, it will be a surprise if Sean Payton decides to keep Franklin out of the scheme, as he has been a key part of the Broncos' 11-game win streak. With the Jaguars' defense being stronger against the run than it is against the pass, it's likely that the passing attack will be a focal point to keep the win streak alive. With offensive snap counts in the last three games since the bye of 53%, 26%, and 50%, Franklin enters Week 16 as RotoBaller's WR51 overall for the week.
Dec 20, 2025 2:17 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin was one of the biggest surprises of Week 15, going for six catches, 85 yards, and a touchdown in a victory against Green Bay, though changes could be coming. Franklin's increase in targets was correlated to the absence of fellow wide receiver Pat Bryant (hamstring), who was unavailable last week but practiced in full on Wednesday and looks likely to return for Week 16 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Franklin is a top-30 PPR receiver on the season, but he's been a boom-or-bust player throughout. He has three top-10 finishes among receivers, but five outside the top 50. Against a Jags' defense that ranks 20th against fantasy receivers, Franklin has a quality matchup, but remains a volatile option prone to big swings in production.

Denver Broncos second-year wide receiver Troy Franklin went quiet in Weeks 13 and 14, with rookie wideout Pat Bryant (hamstring) taking on a bigger role in the passing attack. Franklin resurfaced in Sunday's 34-26 win over the visiting Green Bay Packers, though, with Bryant sidelined with a hamstring injury. Although he played only 50% of the offensive snaps, the 22-year-old from Oregon caught all six of his targets for 85 yards and his sixth touchdown of the year. In the previous two games, Franklin had just five catches (seven targets) for 32 yards and no scores. With Bryant out in Week 15, Franklin finished second on the team in catches, targets, and receiving yards. His touchdown was a beautiful 23-yard hookup with quarterback Bo Nix to end the third quarter. Franklin's Week 16 fantasy value will largely hinge on whether Bryant can return to face the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin provided an efficient day in the Week 15 34-26 win over the Green Bay Packers. With Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant (hamstring) out this week, Franklin was able to reestablish himself as a force in the offense with six catches on six targets for 85 yards and a touchdown. The catches and yardage were second best on the team, trailing only Courtland Sutton. After seeing a dip in production and all-around involvement since the Broncos' bye week, this could be the game he needed to pry his way back onto the field. Keep an eye on Bryant's availability for Week 16, but Franklin could be a WR2 again against the Jacksonville Jaguars after this efficient performance.
Dec 14, 2025 10:18 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin has been trending in the wrong direction since the bye week and will host a relentless Green Bay Packers defense in Week 15. Coming off his two consecutive lowest snap shares of the season at 53% in Week 13 and 26% in Week 14, it seems the Broncos have revamped the offense to feature other players in the past two weeks. After leading the team in targets on the season until Week 14, it's certainly a cause for concern with fantasy managers. However, Franklin will see an increased target share and snaps with Pat Bryant (hamstring) ruled out for Week 15. The Packers have the seventh-best pass defense, allowing 185.8 yards per game, and will likely give the Broncos' passing attack a run for their money in Week 15. Despite Bryant being out, Franklin is mainly an option in deep leagues and comes in as RotoBaller's WR41 overall in Week 15.
Dec 13, 2025 3:01 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin has operated as the team's No. 2 wide receiver opposite Courtland Sutton for the vast majority of the season. However, his role in the offense has decreased lately, beginning in Week 13 against the Washington Commanders. The second-year wideout played 37 offensive snaps in that game, his lowest all season at that time, but his 68.8% route share still aligned with his season average of 71.6%. Both marks plummeted in the Week 14 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, as his snaps were cut in half to just 19 and his route share dipped to a season-low 39.5%. Rookie third-rounder Pat Bryant has seemingly overtaken him as the No. 2 option opposite Sutton. After leading the Broncos in targets for most of the season, Franklin's role has been cut back due to his inconsistent hands and limitations as a run-blocker. He profiles as a low-ceiling flex option heading into Week 15 against a tough Green Bay Packers defense.
Dec 10, 2025 1:09 AM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin is having a breakout season in his second year out of Oregon. He leads the team with 81 targets and 46 catches on his way to 509 yards and a team-high five receiving touchdowns. The 9-2 Broncos come out of their bye week with a Sunday Night Football matchup against the Commanders in Week 13, and then they face the Raicers in Week 14. Both of those teams have been top-five matchups for receivers, making Franklin a great scoop and start option if you need to add a WR3 or flex play from the waiver wires. His great matchup against the Raiders in Week 14 also makes him a strong option if you have starting receivers who are part of the last round of bye weeks and can use him as a ready replacement.
Nov 25, 2025 9:47 AM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin has separated himself as the top target earner for the team in recent weeks. Franklin led the Broncos, tied for the team lead in targets, in their 22-19 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11 and led them with 84 receiving yards. The second-year wideout caught multiple long balls for 30+ yard gains, including a 32-yard catch on Denver's final drive to set up the game-winning field goal. Franklin has 34 targets over the last four weeks, tied for fourth most in the league and 12 more than teammate Courtland Sutton in that span. Franklin has established himself as a legitimate fantasy option and should continue to be productive in Week 13 against the Washington Commanders after their Week 12 bye.
Nov 18, 2025 4:43 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin caught his fourth touchdown in four weeks in Thursday's 10-7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He finished with five catches for 40 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's victory. Broncos head coach Sean Payton has consistently schemed Franklin into the offense as the season has progressed, and Franklin once again paced the team in targets with nine. The 22-year-old continued to have some disappointing plays, one in particular in which he earned a target that could've been a good chunk of yardage, which bounced off his chest to become an interception in the fourth quarter. After finishing with five catches for 40 yards and a touchdown, Franklin certainly rewarded those who trusted him enough as a WR3/ flex option in Week 10 lineups, and he will look to find the end zone again in next Sunday's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Nov 7, 2025 12:04 AM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin will strive to lead the team in targets for a third straight game against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10. Despite being on the field for fewer snaps throughout the season than teammate Courtland Sutton, Franklin has now surpassed Sutton for the time being with 21.05% of the offensive target share compared to Sutton's 20.39% target share. It's safe to say that Franklin is making a name for himself within the Broncos offense, and with head coach Sean Payton integrating him more into the playbook, we could see weekly upside from him. Franklin is RotoBaller's WR35 for the week and can be trusted as a strong WR3/ Flex option against the Raiders.
Nov 5, 2025 7:33 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin had a modest game in his team's Week 9 win over the Houston Texans, recording four catches for 27 yards. However, Franklin led the team in targets (10) for the second straight week. Perhaps most notably, Franklin has now matched or exceeded the target volume of presumed Broncos WR1 Courtland Sutton in four consecutive games. Across nine games in 2025, Franklin has hauled in 37 catches for 385 yards and four touchdowns on 64 targets, two more targets than Sutton has seen (62) across the same number of games. In any fantasy leagues where Franklin is not already rostered, he's a priority waiver-wire target due to his emerging role in Denver heading into a favorable Week 10 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Nov 3, 2025 10:44 AM EST
Through eight games this season, Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin has recorded 33 catches for 358 yards and four touchdowns. The 22-year-old has played some of his best football of late, hauling in nine catches for 108 yards and three touchdowns on 18 targets over his last two games. Franklin appears to be emerging as the clear WR2 in Denver alongside Courtland Sutton. Franklin's target share could be even more solidified in Week 9 against the Houston Texans, as Broncos wideout Marvin Mims Jr. (concussion) will be sidelined due to a concussion. If there's a concern for Franklin's outlook in Week 9, it's the strength of the Houston defense. The Texans have allowed the third-fewest passing yards (1,375) and the fewest passing touchdowns (six) in the NFL through eight weeks. Still, Franklin profiles as a low-end WR3/flex option for fantasy managers in Week 9.
Nov 1, 2025 2:41 PM EST
Denver Broncos second-year wide receiver Troy Franklin has drawn real attention off the waiver wire in fantasy leagues over the last two weeks after catching nine of his 18 targets for 108 yards and three touchdowns in wins over the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants. Franklin's chemistry with quarterback Bo Nix from their days in college at Oregon is starting to manifest itself after a lackluster rookie campaign in 2024. Through eight weeks, the 22-year-old ranks second behind Courtland Sutton in receiving yards for Denver with 358, and he leads the Broncos with his four touchdowns. Franklin is now rostered in just under 50% of fantasy leagues on Yahoo, and with Marvin Mims Jr. now dealing with a concussion and questionable to play in Week 9 against the Houston Texans, he could find the end zone for a third straight week. Disclaimer: Since Franklin's last 89-yard performance in Week 2, he failed to eclipse 50 receiving yards in four of five games.
Oct 29, 2025 11:44 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin is beginning to build more chemistry with quarterback Bo Nix. Over the last two games, Franklin has seen 18 targets and hauled in nine receptions for 100-plus yards with three touchdowns. The 22-year-old posted a few decent games early in the season, but has really come alive as of late. The two-score effort on Sunday will make Franklin the top waiver priority in plenty of fantasy formats. The six-catch contest in Week 8 was the most for Franklin since Week 2. He has shown an ability to make plays and figures to be a viable flex option going forward.
Oct 27, 2025 9:26 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin falls to the third option for Broncos quarterback Bo Nix while facing the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 5. He caught three of five targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Eagles. Courtland Sutton and Evan Engram were first and second on the team with 10 and six targets. While Franklin has seemed to be on the field the second most out of any of the receiving group, the 22-year-old has been underwhelming for fantasy lineups since his explosive outing in Week 2. With Broncos head coach Sean Payton preferring taller wide receivers, this could be one of the primary reasons Franklin has been on the field more than anyone else. Still, he will need to capitalize on his opportunities more frequently before he can be trusted in fantasy lineups. Franklin is a boom or bust FLEX option in a plus matchup against the New York Jets in Week 6.
Oct 6, 2025 6:39 PM EST
After posting a dud in week 3 after a breakout game in Week 2, Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin led the team with eight targets in Monday's win over the Bengals. With the Philadelphia Eagles having a middle-of-the-pack pass defense (ranked 15th), Franklin can continue to be a focal point. At the same time, the Eagles are forced to focus on Courtland Sutton and Marvin Mims Jr. Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has seemingly favored Franklin as the WR2 on the offense, considering he has the same amount of targets as Sutton on the season. In what could be a defensive game for both sides, feel confident in starting Franklin as a WR3/ FLEX option as he comes in as RotoBaller's WR35 for Week 5.
Oct 4, 2025 7:26 AM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin has certainly taken a step forward during his second pro season, but he still isn't a very reliable fantasy option heading into Week 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Franklin broke out with eight catches and a touchdown in Week 2, but in his two other games, he averaged just three catches, 26 yards, and zero touchdowns. Without consistent production, the Oregon product ranks as a low-end WR4 and is a bit too risky to insert into lineups. That's especially true this week against the Cincinnati Bengals. While Cincinnati is limping right now with Joe Burrow (toe) sidelined, they've been solid against the pass, whether it's due to good defensive play or Cincinnati's opponents routinely running the ball with a sizable lead. The Bengals have allowed the 13th-fewest receiving yards and fifth-fewest touchdowns to wide receivers in 2025. Franklin can be left on the bench in most leagues.
