Oregon's Troy Franklin did not live up to draft day expectations but still has potential as a rookie in Denver. Concerns about Franklin being solely a vertical threat and lacking physicality are valid. Franklin will have to compete for targets in a crowded passing game, potentially hindering his fantasy football outlook.
Franklin and Javon Baker are late-round picks expected to provide fantasy value, but Franklin's draft capital may limit his immediate impact. Despite his speed and agility, consistency may be an issue. The fantasy football community continues to search for the next breakout rookie wide receiver, but Franklin faces an uphill battle.
