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 Kareem Hunt
Free-Agent Status Leaves Veteran Role in Limbo
Kareem Hunt enters the 2026 campaign as an unsigned free agent, though interest remains alive after he visited the Detroit Lions in late August. At 31 years old and entering his ninth season, the veteran is waiting for the right opportunity to latch onto an active backfield rotation.
Over the past two seasons in Kansas City, Hunt handled significant early-down volume, tallying 200 carries in 2024 and 193 carries across 18 games in 2025. While his efficiency hovered below 4.0 yards per carry, he demonstrated a reliable floor between the tackles and in short-yardage situations.
Fantasy managers have moved on during his market standoff, with his roster rate plunging from over 60% down to 3% over the past month. Until he officially signs and finds a pathway to weekly touches, Hunt is purely a watch-list asset or deep-league contingency stash.
