Franklin's breakout 2025 (65 rec, 709 yds, 6 TD) positions him as key role player in year three.

Franklin is entering his third season with Denver after a breakout 2025 campaign in which he was the Broncos' second leading receiver with 65 catches for 709 yards and 6 touchdowns, trailing only Sutton in target share and production. Head Coach Sean Payton highlighted Franklin's improved understanding of formations, details, and alignments, noting his comfort within the offensive framework and his 'really good burst.' Franklin stated he is more prepared this training camp than his first two years, with far more immense knowledge of the offense and improving chemistry with quarterback Bo Nix: 'It's my third year in it, so I'm comfortable. I don't really have to think anymore, so I can just go and play.' While unlikely to see as much volume in year three compared to 2025, he figures to play an important role in Denver's passing game.
