Troy Franklin News
Thursday, April 30, 5:37 AM
Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin was one of the more hyped prospects coming out of Oregon and early in the pre-draft process heading into the 2024 NFL Draft. Most of that hype went by the wayside when he fell to the fourth round and Denver made him the 103rd overall pick, but he still had his believers in dynasty circles. After two inconsistent seasons, and with the Broncos continuing to add target competition, first by selecting Pat Bryant in the third round of the 2025 Draft and then by shipping out first and third-round picks for Jaylen Waddle, Franklin has fallen to WR73 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings. Franklin has shown sporadic flashes on his way to 992 career yards and eight touchdowns, but the wide receiver room in Denver has grown crowded, and with three capable running backs in J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey, and now fourth-round pick Jonah Coleman, consistent upside will be hard to come by in more of a complementary role.

Chimere Dike News
Monday, May 4, 7:36 AM
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike's dynasty value may be reduced after the team brought in elite competition via the NFL Draft. The Titans selected Carnell Tate fourth overall, in a move that completely reset the wide receiver pecking order in Tennessee. Tate will be the immediate No. 1 receiver, while offseason signing Wan'Dale Robinson slots into the No. 2 role. That leaves Dike, Elic Ayomanor, and Calvin Ridley all competing for the third spot on the depth chart. Even if Dike wins that job, he won't have a whole lot of fantasy appeal in a Cameron Ward-led offense that could continue to experience growing pains. At the same time, there's also a chance he falls to fifth on the depth chart. Sure, Dike was the WR50 last year with 48 catches, 423 yards, and four touchdowns, but he had fewer yards than Ayomanor and he has a far less established track record than Ridley. The dynasty outlook is bleak for Dike as long as he remains in Tennessee.
