Who Should I Start? Troy Franklin or Tayvion Robinson

Thursday, June 12, 9:28 PM

Denver Broncos second-year wide receiver Troy Franklin has had a good offseason, has looked more explosive and added about five pounds, according to head coach Sean Payton. The Broncos took the Oregon product in the fourth round (102nd overall) in last year's draft to pair him with college teammate and quarterback Bo Nix. The slim pass-catcher's chemistry with Nix didn't really translate in Year 1 in the NFL, as he finished with 28 catches for 263 yards and two touchdowns on 53 targets over 16 regular-season games (six starts). The No. 2 role behind Courtland Sutton is up for grabs in Denver, with Franklin competing with Marvin Mims Jr., Devaughn Vele and rookie Pat Bryant for a bigger role in 2025. The addition of pass-catching tight end Evan Engram won't help. Franklin is worth keeping an eye on in training camp, but for now, he's outside of RotoBaller's top-100 fantasy receivers.

The Baltimore Ravens released wide receiver Tayvion Robinson, the organization announced on X on Wednesday. Robinson went unselected in April's 2024 NFL Draft after three seasons at Virginia Tech and two years at Kentucky. Overall, he tallied 194 receptions for 2,604 yards and 16 touchdowns to go along with 39 rushes for 277 yards in 60 collegiate games. It looks like his chances to make Baltimore's 53-man roster have come to an end, but there could be other organizations interested in giving him an opportunity heading into training camp.
