Royce Freeman 2020 Outlook
When the Broncos signed Melvin Gordon in March, many analysts jumped to conclude that Phillip Lindsay’s value would take the biggest hit. The running back who actually bears the most implications from Gordon's arrival, however, is Freeman. According to SI.com, it was undoubtedly a shot across Freeman's bow as the Broncos' 2018 third-round draft pick went squarely from factoring into the starting conversation to third-string in two years. Part of the reason for Freeman’s decline was the meteoric and unforeseeable rise of Lindsay -- a former undrafted rookie. Adding insult to injury, the Broncos signed undrafted free agent RB LeVante Bellamy out of Western Michigan, giving him a signing bonus and also guaranteeing a portion of his salary. In a crowded backfield, it's not so much anymore about how Freeman fits into the Broncos' plans at running back, but whether he's even viewed as a part of the solution at all. As 9News.com's Mike Klis pointed out, right now Freeman is the No. 3 RB and the No. 3 last year was Devontae Booker who got two carries all season. "Now, that was a different offensive coordinator but this offensive coordinator -- [Pat] Shurmur -- is even more of a one-back guy than [Rich] Scangarello." Freeman's best scenario for fantasy production might be an early release in hopes of landing with another team.
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.
