Royce Freeman
RB - Dallas Cowboys
2024 Outlook
The Cowboys have signed Royce Freeman to a one-year contract.
Fantasy Impact
Freeman will join a Cowboys’ backfield that does not have a clear cut starter. The veteran tallied 319 yards and two touchdowns on 77 carries with the Rams last season. Fantasy managers should expect Freeman to compete for the starting job in training camp.
Royce Freeman rushed the ball three times for nine yards in Sunday's 37-31 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
Fantasy Impact
Freeman's lack of involvement continued on Sunday. He only saw three touches on the course of the day, and that comes after a Week 13 performance where he had only one carry on the day. With Kyren Williams back in the lineup and looking great, the 27-year old should be left on the waiver wire in all fantasy leagues moving forward.
Royce Freeman gained no yards on his one carry in Sunday's 36-19 win over the Browns.
Fantasy Impact
After a nice five-game run in the Rams' backfield, Freeman gave way almost completely to workhorse Kyren Williams on Sunday. This is a little surprising given how well Freeman had been running the rock. Even with Williams returning to lead the way in Week 12, Freeman still rushed for 77 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries. Freeman offers nothing in the passing game, and it now appears he will get very little usage in the ground game as well. His only fantasy value at present is as a handcuff to Williams.
Royce Freeman rushed for 77 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries in Sunday's 37-14 win over the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
With Kyren Williams returning to the field, Freeman moved back to the No. 2 RB role for the Rams. However, that did not stop Freeman from another solid rushing performance, as he scored his second touchdown of the season and gained more than 65 yards for the third time in the last five games. Williams' is the unquestioned lead guy out of the Rams' backfield, but there's obviously still a role for Freeman.
Royce Freeman rushed for 73 yards on 17 carries in the Rams 17-16 win over the Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact
Freeman led the Rams backfield in carries and yards on the afternoon. With Kyren Williams expected back next week, Freeman is likely off the fantasy radar.
