Exits game with hamstring injury Franklin (hamstring) is questionable to return to Saturday's AFC divisional-round game against the Bills, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Franklin appeared to tweak his hamstring in the second quarter and is being evaluated by medical staff in the locker room to determine whether he can return. The Broncos are already without Pat Bryant (concussion) for the rest of Saturday's game, so Denver would be down to Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims and Lil'Jordan Humphrey at wide receiver if Franklin is unable to return.

Denver Broncos' defense shines, but coach Sean Payton isn't celebrating yet

The Denver Broncos secured the AFC's top seed with a 19-3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers' backups

JANUARY 5 • Associated Press

Blanked in Week 18 win Franklin failed to catch his only target in the Broncos' win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Impact Bo Nix completed 14 of 23 passes for 141 scoreless yards in the victory, but only one of his throws went to Franklin, whose playing time has been dialed back over the past month-plus. Pat Bryant has been seeing more action alongside Courtland Sutton. Franklin will be a boom-or-bust fantasy bet in the divisional round following Denver's first-round bye.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to short receptions Franklin recorded four receptions on four targets for 17 yards in Thursday's 20-13 win over the Chiefs.

Impact With the exception of Courtland Sutton, the Broncos spread targets evenly amongst their pass catchers. Franklin was among four wide receivers or tight ends to earn at least four targets, and he finished sixth on the team in yardage. His longest gain went for only six yards, though that was a reflection of Denver's conservative passing game plan. Franklin has under 25 receiving yards in three of his last five games, and this outcome was particularly disappointing given the absence of Pat Bryant (concussion).

One long catch Franklin recorded four receptions on five targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Jaguars.

Impact Franklin retained a solid role in the Denver offense despite the return of Pat Bryant (head), tying for third on the team in targets. He produced little for much of the game, though he ended with a solid yardage total thanks to a long 48-yard touchdown grab early in the fourth quarter. Franklin has reemerged in the Broncos' offense, recording 10 catches for 151 yards combined across the last two games. He should continue to see added opportunity if Bryant is forced to miss Denver's Week 17 matchup Thursday.

Bo Nix shines as Broncos clinch playoff spot with comeback win over Packers

The Denver Broncos passed their first test in a tough season-ending stretch by coming back to beat the Green Bay Packers 34-26 on Sunday

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • Associated Press

Returns to prominent role Franklin recorded six receptions on six targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers.

Impact Franklin had been phased out of the Denver offense in the last two games, combining to earn only seven targets. However, he reemerged with Pat Bryant (hamstring) sidelined, finishing second on the team in yards, receptions and targets. Franklin had a trio of catches that went for at least 15 yards, the most important of which was a 23-yard touchdown grab to end the third quarter. He made the case to remain a key part of Denver's offense moving forward, though his role is uncertain heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Jaguars -- particularly if Bryant can return to the field.

Remains muted in Week 14 Franklin was held to three receptions on four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Raiders.

Impact Franklin continued starting opposite Courtland Sutton (6-62-0), but the former appears to have fallen out of favor after finishing in a tie with Pat Bryant (4-32-0) for third in team targets. The 22-year-old Franklin is averaging 2.5 receptions and 11.0 yards in the two games coming out of Denver's Week 12 bye. Franklin's volatility on a week-to-week basis makes the wideout hard to trust outside of deeper fantasy formats against the Packers next Sunday.
