Royce Freeman 2019 Outlook
When the Broncos selected Freeman in the third round last year, they did so with the belief he could become a workhorse back. As SBNation.com reminded readers, at first glance Freeman was well on his way to cementing that status. He earned the top spot after a fantastic training camp and started the first four games of the season strong -- amassing 219 yards on 44 carries and three touchdowns. Unfortunately, a high ankle sprain suffered midway through the season became an issue that hindered Freeman the rest of the way. Based on his skill set Freeman needed the ankle to be close to 100 percent to maximize his cutting ability. When all was said and done, Freeman still finished with 130 carries for 521 yards and five touchdowns -- a productive year, but the emergence of Phillip Lindsay left Freeman outside the spotlight. After having the entire offseason to recover, Freeman is anxious to show he can still be a significant contributor on offense and has set the bar high for year two of his NFL career. Assuming Lindsay is healthy, however, a complementary role seems likely for Freeman. But understand that he's capable of much more if the circumstances create an opportunity.
Royce Freeman 2018 Outlook
A potential three-down back who has the physique to be a workhorse at the professional level, Freeman was a four-year starter in college and averaged six yards per rushing attempt in 2017. Of course, the downside is Freeman’s heavy workload at Oregon, racking up over 1,000 total touches during his collegiate career with the Ducks. But he rarely buckled, playing through minor injuries while establishing himself to be a back as durable as he was productive. According to Rookie Scouting Portfolio author Matt Waldman, Freeman is a bigger, stronger, quicker, and faster Carlos Hyde (a more dynamic C.J. Anderson also applies). While Devontae Booker is still in the mix for touches, the smart dough is on Freeman leading the Broncos' backfield in opportunities and fantasy points next season. As Waldman noted, Freeman reads blocks better than Booker, who rushes head-long into creases with questionable timing. Finally, according to NFL.com, if you're looking for this year's version of Kareem Hunt, Freeman fits the bill.
