Devonta Freeman Week 4 Outlook -

It was said that he knew about half the playbook going into last week's game, so it was expected that he'd play limited snaps. The snaps went Dion Lewis 20, Wayne Gallman 18, Freeman 15, though Freeman got five of the 10 carries. He should be in the primary role this week, though they're big underdogs in this game and the Giants running backs as a whole have averaged just 1.80 yards per carry behind this line. If Freeman wants any chance of success, it's got to come in the passing game. The Rams have allowed a healthy 0.93 PPR points per opportunity to running backs, but they've averaged just 26.3 touches per game. That's another issue considering the Giants running backs themselves average just 18.0 touches per game. This is a backfield to avoid until we see Freeman earn a majority of the snaps, but even if he does this week, it may not amount to more than 12 touches. He should be considered a weak RB4 option for now.
