Troy Franklin

Troy Franklin capped his junior year at Oregon with nearly 1,400 yards and 14 touchdowns, showcasing his deep-threat capabilities with a 29% dominator rating. Despite concerns about his slender frame at 6-foot-3 and 183 lbs, his rumored 4.35-second 40-yard dash underscores his potential as a top-tier receiver. Drafted on Day 3 by the Broncos after a disappointing combine, Franklin finds a favorable situation under Sean Payton, who has a history of trading up for wide receivers like Brandin Cooks and Marvin Mims. Positioned to play the "Z" role previously held by Jerry Jeudy, Franklin's existing chemistry with Broncos QB Bo Nix, his former college teammate, could give him an edge over other young receivers like Marvin Mims, enhancing his opportunity to make an immediate impact.

The Denver Broncos selected WR Troy Franklin with the No. 102 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

The Broncos traded up to select Franklin and reunite him with Bo Nix who they drafted in round one. Franklin set a number of records with the Ducks and Nix this past season. He'll have the chance to compete for an immediate role.
