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.

Traded to Denver
Franklin-Myers was traded from the Jets to the Broncos on Saturday, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
In what was effectively a salary dump, the Jets acquired a sixth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft for the defensive lineman. Franklin-Myers immediately steps in as Denver's starting defensive end, and the fifth-year veteran should see ample playing time for a Broncos team retooling seemingly its entire roster on the fly.

In coach Sean Payton's second season with the Broncos, there's a good chance his offense will be led by first-round rookie quarterback Bo Nix, meaning growing pains likely are on the horizon in Denver.
Isaiah Likely did his best Mark Andrews impression Sunday night, but the Baltimore offense took another hit with RB Keaton Mitchell suffering an ACL tear.
Tyreek Hill and De'Von Achane both are questionable, and their numbers might disappoint even if they play given Miami's slew of injury concerns along the offensive line.
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
May have to take pay cut
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.
