Only twenty-four WRs saw more targets than Franklin's 104 last season, but he never became trustworthy for fantasy lineups, and eventually lost playing time down the stretch. A 2024 fourth-round pick, Franklin was oft-discussed in prospect circles for his unusually thin frame, with concerns mounting after he checked in at 6-foot-2, 176, at the 2024 Combine. His workouts were solid -- 4.41 40, 39-inch vertical -- but nothing special relative to the higher expectations for a WR with less mass. Franklin was a part-time player as a rookie, and then failed to make the most of his breakout opportunity in 2025. The Broncos have since traded for Jaylen Waddle, perhaps leaving Franklin to compete with Pat Bryant for the No. 3 receiver job. Mainstream fantasy value is a long shot without Waddle or Courtland Sutton missing time.
