Franklin flashed on multiple chunk plays for Denver, contributing to the Broncos’ aerial efficiency and helping drive the late 88-yard TD sequence. His involvement suggests a promising role in Denver’s offense, especially in tempo-driven drives that rely on big plays to flip field position.

Franklin flashed depth and burst, posting four receptions for 67 yards and two touchdowns, signaling he’s a real contender for Week 1 depth behind Sutton. His ability to block and contribute on runs adds to the Broncos’ versatility and makes him a candidate to sneak into a larger role as the season progresses.

Franklin’s two-TD night showcased his big-play ability and quick rapport with Stidham. In dynasty leagues, Franklin’s early run hints at possible breakout potential if he earns consistent target volume, while in redraft formats he remains a speculative stash with upside in Payton’s offense.

Two TDs for Franklin on a night that showed his ability to win on both speed and route-running; his step forward with Stidham links could push him into weekly flex/WR3 territory in dynasty formats.

Franklin is poised as a rookie flyer in a crowded Denver WR corps, with a real path to sparingly featured Week 2 reps and potentially higher usage as preseason progress continues. His speed could unlock big-play opportunities when defenses key on Sutton and Mims.
