Troy Franklin Fantasy Football Outlook (ROS)

By Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Mon, Dec 8th 2025, 10:05pm EST

Troy Franklin's discouraging usage from last week continued into Week 14. Snaps plummeted to 26% - 5th among Denver WRs. 3 catches for 11 yards on four targets.
Courtland Sutton (10 targets and 65% air yards share) has reclaimed his rightful seat on the Broncos WR1 throne.
I was concerned that Franklin would maintain WR1 usage despite poor efficiency. And that has come full circle. Not only is Sutton out-targeting him, but so is rookie Pat Bryant. 40-plus receiving yards in four of the last six games.
With Denver's tough playoff schedule (GB, JAX, KC), Franklin will be a tough click. He's scored four TDs in the last seven games—8-plus targets in five of seven, but just two games with more than 40 receiving yards. A red flag that suggested targets might go elsewhere - and that has been 100% evident the last two weeks.
