Troy Franklin Now Faces Even Stiffer Competition for Targets

Tuesday, March 17, 4:48 PM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin finished his second season behind only Courtland Sutton in terms of team targets, receptions, yards, and touchdowns, though he spent the final stretch of the season in a competition with rookie Pat Bryant for playing time and opportunities. With most of the raw statistics suggesting Bryant had overtaken him on the pecking order by the time the playoffs arrived, he was already in for a fight come the 2026 season. With the Broncos' addition of Jaylen Waddle via trade, Franklin could now see himself relegated to more of a situational role. At best, he will be competing with Bryant and Marvin Mims Jr., both capable downfield threats, for the primary work in three-receiver sets.

Roman Wilson a Cut Candidate for Dynasty Managers Facing Roster Decisions

Sunday, March 29, 10:11 AM

After injuries limited him to only five offensive snaps as a rookie, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson saw the field more in Year 2, but was still unable to take advantage of his limited opportunities, finishing 2026 with only two touchdowns and 166 yards on 12 receptions. A third-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Wilson has been a popular dynasty stash following a productive National Championship-winning senior season at Michigan, but having shown little to warrant the roster spot, he figures to be heavily dropped as dynasty managers clear space for the incoming rookie class. With the Steelers trading for Michael Pittman Jr. to pair with last season's prized acquisition, D.K. Metcalf, the Steelers now boast arguably their most potent receiving duo since Diontae Johnson and George Pickens, leaving Wilson fighting with a handful of capable pass-catching running backs and tight ends for any remaining targets. And with the quarterback position still unsettled heading into April, the quality of those sporadic looks will likely be incapable of sustaining fantasy relevance in the immediate future.
