2026 Outlook

Third-year WR competing for targets in Denver's deep receiving corps. After finishing 2025 as WR30, Franklin is positioned for likely ascension due to Denver's personnel changes. The trade for Jaylen Waddle created a crowded WR room, but Touchdown Wire analysis (March 2026) identifies Franklin as having "an outside shot at pushing past the aging Sutton" (per 2026 fantasy impact on Broncos WRs after Jaylen Waddle trade). If Franklin's ADP lands outside the top 50, analysts view that as a "terrific investing opportunity," suggesting upside relative to draft capital. However, with Waddle, Sutton, Marvin Mims, and Pat Bryant all competing, Franklin faces a challenging path to consistent target volume.

Role / Depth Chart

Behind Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton; competing with Marvin Mims and Pat Bryant for third and fourth WR targets in Denver's offense.
