Troy Franklin had an incredibly productive collegiate career at Oregon and at one point looked like a potential 1st round pick. He had a rough pre-draft process, coming in at 176 lbs and looking noticeably uncomfortable during the gauntlet drill and horizontal routes at the NFL combine. Although he fell to the 4th round, he landed in a great spot in Denver where he reunites with his college QB Bo Nix.

Franklin’s latest depth chart projections have him as a backup receiver on the outside behind Courtland Sutton and Josh Reynolds. Franklin is battling with second year, 2nd round pick Marvin Mims, Tim Patrick, and 7th round rookie Devaughn Vele for a depth role, which isn’t ideal news for someone with Franklin’s collegiate production. Dynasty Managers should continue to keep an eye on camp reports regarding Franklin’s projected role, as his value will continue to decrease if he’s not expected to see the field much in his rookie year.
