Outlook Troy Franklin
Crowded Depth Chart and Plummeting Market Cost Push Former Sleeper to Waiver Wire Status
After a promising sophomore campaign in 2025 where he caught 65 passes for 709 yards and six touchdowns, Troy Franklin faces an uphill battle in Denver's revamped offense. With Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle headlining the wideouts alongside added competition in the slot, Franklin enters the year fighting for secondary targets from Bo Nix.
Market sentiment has cratered over the summer. Franklin's ADP collapsed from the 180s in late July all the way to pick 333 by September, accompanied by his roster rate tumbling down to 3%. Fantasy drafters have steadily faded him as his path to consistent volume narrowed.
Our projections forecast 40 catches for 450 yards and five scores (97.0 fantasy points). While his plummeted price makes him practically free, he remains merely a deep-league stash who requires injuries ahead of him on the depth chart to regain meaningful standalone value.

Outlook Jauan Jennings
Slot Role in Loaded Vikings Offense Offers Sneaky Late-Round Appeal
Jauan Jennings enters his first season in Minnesota operating out of the slot alongside perimeter stars Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. While the Vikings' pass-catching corps is crowded with talent—including tight end T.J. Hockenson—Jennings' reliable hands and run-blocking prowess should keep him on the field regularly for quarterback Kyler Murray.
Coming off a career-high 10 receiving touchdowns last season, we project Jennings to remain an efficient third option, forecasting 55 receptions for 615 yards and four touchdowns (134.0 fantasy points). While he will not command heavy target volume, his situational efficiency in three-receiver sets provides deep-league utility.
Jennings' draft stock has steadily plummeted over the summer, sliding from an early ADP near 142 down to 239 as fantasy managers cooled on his target share. Now rostered in under 20% of leagues, this falling market cost transforms him into a low-risk bench stash who could easily outperform his draft price.
