Troy Franklin's Usage Plummets to Season-Low Amidst Broncos' WR Shuffle

Broncos WR Troy Franklin's involvement in the passing game has significantly declined over the past two weeks, going from challenging Courtland Sutton's lead-target status to minimal usage. In Sunday's win over the Raiders, Franklin ran a season-low 17 routes, marking a 39.5% rate vs. Denver's 43 dropbacks. He ranked third among Broncos WRs in routes, trailing Pat Bryant (67.4%) and narrowly leading Marvin Mims Jr. (34.9%), and was fifth in total snaps behind Sutton, Bryant, Lil'Jordan Humphrey, and Mims.
