Summary

Randy Franklin carries a 5.0 dynasty score, ranking 857 at DB. Randy Franklin’s 2025 production trended down with fewer tackles and passes defended in 11 games. Given his age and limited experience, Franklin’s timeline for growth and development remains uncertain. At this stage, it is difficult to predict when or if Franklin will reach his full potential.

Projection Rationale

Franklin’s 2025 performance, including tackles and passes defended, indicates a solid but not spectacular rookie season. His Verdict grade at the 30th percentile suggests room for improvement. Franklin’s contract situation includes a 4-year, $3.1 million rookie deal with a $1.1 million signing bonus. This contract provides a foundation for Franklin’s development and growth in the league.

Injury Risk

No injury entries in 2025.

Opportunity Notes

With the Broncos’ defense rotating in and out of the 3-4 scheme, Franklin’s role remains somewhat secure, although adjustments could be made. The defense’s adaptability may also present opportunities for Franklin to develop his skills.

Scheme Fit Analysis

Sean Payton coordinates a zone-heavy 3-4 defense with a 17.4% blitz rate, which could impact Franklin’s fantasy production. The Broncos’ defense features a 57.3% defensive snap rate and 17.4% blitz rate.

Trend Assessment

Declining: Franklin’s production decreased in 2025, and at age 1, his trajectory is uncertain.

Ceiling / Floor

Franklin’s ceiling is a DB3 finish range, requiring significant improvement in his production and efficiency. His floor is a DB5 finish range, referencing his Verdict trade value and the uncertainty surrounding his timeline.
