Franklin played 16 offensive snaps in Friday night's preseason game against the Packers, but he did not appear in the box score.
Franklin had a short night, but the lack of any targets is not a good showing for the supposed No. 3 wide receiver. With the offseason addition of Jaylen Waddle, Franklin is set to see a regression in target share, so he will need to earn every snap. The speedy Oregon product provides a nice deep threat to complement Waddle, but it remains to be seen how he will be utilized in the new offense.
