Troy Franklin - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Season-high three catches in Week 9 Franklin brought in three of four targets for 31 yards during the Broncos' 26-21 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Impact Franklin drew a 27-yard pass interference penalty on the Broncos' second offensive play of the game, but the third-year wide receiver didn't log his first catch until early in the fourth quarter. He has operated in a rotational role for most of the season, and even with Jaylen Waddle in the league's concussion protocol, Franklin will likely maintain that workload following the Broncos' Week 10 bye.

One catch in Week 2 win Franklin caught one of two targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Jaguars.

Impact With Marvin Mims (foot) inactive, Franklin played 13 of 62 offensive snaps as the clear No. 4 receiver behind Courtland Sutton, Pat Bryant and Jaylen Waddle. Franklin's 27-yard grab was his lone catch of the season through two weeks. He'll need an injury to obtain any fantasy relevance in redraft formats.

Quiet performance in Week 1 Franklin failed to reel in his only target while adding a five-yard rush in Monday night's 31-10 loss to Kansas City.

Impact Franklin was only on the field for 17 of the team's 51 offensive snaps, which was fewer than Pat Bryant (30) along with starters Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle at wide receiver. The 23-year-old emerged as a go-to option for quarterback Bo Nix in 2025, catching 65 of 104 targets for 709 yards and six scores, but with the addition of Waddle in the offseason, Franklin appears to be locked into a depth role this season.

Fails to corral one target Franklin failed to secure his only target in the Broncos' 34-6 preseason win over the Vikings on Friday.

Impact Franklin opened preseason with a 23-yard grab in the opener against the Falcons, but that turned out to be his only production of the exhibition slate across three games. Despite the quiet summer, Franklin is slated to serve as the No. 3 receiver behind Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle in what should be a high-powered Broncos air attack.

Silent Friday night Franklin played 16 offensive snaps in Friday night's preseason game against the Packers, but did not appear in the box score.

Impact Franklin had a short night, but the lack of any targets is not a good showing for the supposed No. 3 wide receiver. With the offseason addition of Jaylen Waddle, Franklin is set to see a regression in target share, so he will need to earn every snap. The speedy Oregon product provides a nice deep threat to complement Waddle but it remains to be seen how he will be utilized in the new offense.

One catch in preseason opener Franklin caught one of two targets for 23 yards in Friday's 27-7 preseason win over the Falcons.

Impact Franklin's lone reception came on the final play of the first quarter on a pass from Jarrett Stidham, who started at QB while Bo Nix rested. Denver's 2024 fourth-round pick is competing for the third spot on the wide receiver depth chart with 2025 third-round pick Pat Bryant and 2023 second-round pick Marvin Mims (undisclosed). Jaylen Waddle (leg) and Courtland Sutton are locked in as starters. Franklin had 709 receiving yards in the 2025 regular season, which was second-most on the team behind Sutton's 1,017.

On field at minicamp Franklin (hamstring) is participant in practice Wednesday at mandatory minicamp, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Franklin missed Denver's loss to New England in the AFC Championship Game due to a hamstring injury, but he now appears back to full health. The 2024 fourth-round pick totaled just 263 receiving yards as a rookie but took a sizeable step forward in 2025, with a 65-709-6 receiving line (on 104 targets) across 17 regular-season appearances. The Broncos traded for Jaylen Waddle earlier in the offseason, providing another alpha receiver atop the depth chart alongside Courtland Sutton, so Franklin faces increased competition for targets entering Year 3. If he can take as step forward in his development and build increased chemistry with QB Bo Nix (ankle), though, Franklin could well be the favorite for the No. 3 receiver gig over Pat Bryant and Marvin Mims.
