Outlook Alec Pierce
Massive Contract Extension and Injury Volatility Create Prime Value Target
Pierce secured a massive four-year, $114 million contract extension this offseason after a breakout 1,029-yard campaign. However, his late-March ankle surgery has sidelined him for offseason workouts, with a recovery timeline of four to six months targeting a late training camp return. Despite the recovery hurdle, his status as the primary outside receiver remains highly secure.
Coming off consecutive highly efficient campaigns, our models project Pierce to catch 59 passes on 97 targets for 965 yards and six touchdowns. He has fully established himself as a premier vertical weapon for this offense, averaging over 21 yards per reception in each of the last two seasons.
His draft market momentum has fluctuated significantly, with his ADP rising into the high-60s before stabilizing around pick 81. This current price tag represents a massive value steal in PPR formats, as the market heavily discounts his elite upside due to temporary injury concerns.

Outlook Troy Franklin
Slot Role and Rising Draft Stock Make Denver's Young Receiver an Intriguing Late-Round Bench Stash
Troy Franklin enters his third professional season projected to operate as Denver's primary slot receiver. While he holds a starting slot role, he must compete for targets alongside established options Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle, which could compress his overall volume.
Coming off a strong sophomore campaign where he posted 709 yards and six scores, our models project a conservative baseline of 33 receptions, 383 yards, and three touchdowns on 50 targets. This projection reflects a more crowded passing hierarchy under quarterback Bo Nix.
His draft stock is rising, with his ADP climbing from the 230s in May to 202 in June. At this late-round price in PPR formats, Franklin is an intriguing bench stash who offers a proven ceiling if Denver's offense takes a leap forward.
