2024 Fantasy Outlook
Franklin-Myers was traded to Denver this offseason after spending his last four seasons with the Jets. The 2018 fourth-rounder will operate as the Broncos' starting defensive end and should have an immediate impact on the team's pass rush. Franklin-Myers finished his 2023 campaign with 33 total tackles, including 3.5 sacks, across 17 games. The veteran's versatility and durability make him an interesting option in IDP formats.

Franklin-Myers (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Franklin-Myers has yet to clear concussion protocol after sustaining the injury in the first quarter of Denver's Week 2 loss to the Steelers. If the Stephen F. Austin product is unable to move past protocol by the time of Sunday's contest, expect Jordan Jackson to serve as the Broncos' top right defensive end.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
After posting 35 tackles and 6.0 sacks in 2021, Franklin-Myers recorded similar numbers in 2022, with 38 tackles and 5.0 sacks. The versatile defensive lineman can line up both inside and outside, but after the Jets used first-round picks on defensive ends in each of the past two drafts, JFM will likely find himself playing primarily on the interior of the defensive line at defensive tackle, which will make it tough to significantly improve his sack or tackle totals.
Franklin-Myers is a versatile piece along the defensive line for the Jets, as he's able to play both inside and on the edge. He had 35 tackles and six sacks last season, earning a four-year, $55 million extension from New York. JFM's versatility should allow him to continue playing a three-down role in 2022 as he looks to build on last year's career highs.
Franklin-Myers was good at pressuring the quarterback last season but totaled only three sacks in 15 games as the Jets' secondary failed to hold up behind him. He'll likely run into similar problems this season and will have to battle for playing time along a deep defensive line, but there's more to JFM than immediately meets the eye given his pedestrian stats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
May have to take pay cut
DENew York Jets
March 29, 2024
Rich Cimini of ESPN suggests Franklin-Myers may be asked to take a pay cut as part of the domino effect of the Jets' trade for Hasson Reddick on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Cimini notes Franklin-Myers carries a $16.4 million cap charge for 2024, and he's coming off a 2023 season in which he recorded 33 tackles, including 3.5 sacks, across 17 games. The versatile veteran is highly durable and can play all over the defensive line, but with Reddick set to make $14.25 million next season absent a restructuring or a new deal, Franklin-Myers' current charge may prove too expensive to leave untouched.
