• Broncos' Troy Franklin: Finds end zone in Week 11

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Franklin caught both of his targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Falcons. Franklin's touchdown against Atlanta was his second of the season, as the rookie wideout continues to play in a rotational role in the Broncos' passing offense. The Oregon product played 44 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps Sunday, and he's played over 50 percent of snaps in just one of his 10 games this season. Though Franklin's development thus far has been a positive sign for his future NFL success, his limited usage makes him unreliable for fantasy purposes. The Broncos head to Las Vegas for a matchup with the Raiders in Week 12.

• Broncos' Troy Franklin: Minimal production in loss

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Franklin caught one of two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Chiefs. Franklin recorded just one catch for the third straight contest, as the rookie has played snap percentages of 40 percent or less in that stretch. The 21-year-old has seen his usage diminish as quarterback Bo Nix has consistently spread the ball around in recent weeks. As Franklin's connection with Nix is already established from their time playing together at Oregon, the wideout should see his role improve in Denver's offense as he continues to develop in the NFL. However, barring injuries, Franklin's role will be difficult to trust in terms of making him viable for fantasy purposes on a weekly basis down the stretch. He'll look to get more involved in a Week 11 matchup against the Falcons.

• Broncos' Troy Franklin: One grab in Week 9

  18D ago • By RotoWire

  Franklin caught one of four targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Ravens. Franklin finished Sunday's game third in targets behind fellow wideouts Courtland Sutton (10) and Lil'Jordan Humphrey (five). Unfortunately, the rookie receiver was only able to reel in one pass from quarterback Bo Nix. Though Nix and Franklin have begun to develop their chemistry in the NFL after playing together at Oregon, the pair will likely continue to be inconsistent as the Broncos' offense goes through growing pains during the 2024 campaign. Franklin will look to bounce back in Week 10, albeit in a tough matchup against the division-rival Chiefs.

• Broncos' Troy Franklin: Paces pass catchers Thursday

  10/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  Franklin secured five of six targets for 50 yards in the Broncos' 33-10 win over the Saints on Thursday night. Franklin led the Broncos across the board in receiving stats, setting the pace in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The rookie also tallied a team-high 30-yard catch, and all of his metrics Thursday qualified as season/career highs. The one-time college teammate of Bo Nix appears to be upping his NFL chemistry with the rookie signal-caller heading into a favorable Week 8 home matchup against the Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 27.

• Broncos' Troy Franklin: Finds end zone in loss

  10/15/2024 • By RotoWire

  Franklin caught two of three targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chargers. He added one rush for five yards. Franklin's trip to the end zone was the first of his young career while the rookie saw a major uptick in his usage in Week 6. The wideout played 65 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps Sunday after averaging a roughly 22 percent snap share in his first four games. Franklin is a talented wideout who should continue to develop within the Broncos' passing attack, especially with an existing connection with his college quarterback Bo Nix at the helm in Denver. The 21-year-old will look to build off his solid performance against the Chargers when the Broncos visit the Saints in Week 7.
