◆FLEX

Troy Franklin's recent trade to the Denver Broncos and coaching changes present opportunities for increased usage, but his trailing average PPR points of 9.3 indicate he remains a speculative FLEX option.

Role & volume
Franklin has seen varied snap shares in recent games, ranging from 38% to 64%, with an average target share of 11.2% and no rushing involvement.
Projected role
With the Broncos' coaching changes under Sean Payton and Bill Belichick, Franklin could see a shift in his role, potentially increasing his targets and snaps as he adjusts to new systems.
Range (floor–ceiling)
Given his recent performance, Franklin's floor is low with games producing 0.0 PPR points, while his ceiling remains speculative at the WR106 value rank on our board.

Risk & Opportunity Analysis (3 flags)

Risk Flags

2
  • Usage Erosion

    Franklin's target share fell from 19% in Week 15 to 4% by Week 18 of the 2025 season, with snap share sliding from 64% to 42% over the same stretch — a live shrinking-role signal, not a one-week blip.

  • Comp Trajectory

    His closest statistical comps (Tyquan Thornton, Elijah Moore, Jameson Williams) all settled into modest 3-8 PPG paces in their equivalent season rather than breaking out, suggesting his 2025 line may be closer to a ceiling than a floor.

Opportunity Flags

1
  • Deep-Threat Ceiling

    A 12.3 aDOT and 30% air-yards share in 2025 point to a field-stretching role that can still produce spike weeks in a productive Bo Nix offense if snaps open up ahead of him.
