Scouting report

BAL RB Devonta Freeman - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Los Angeles Rams

Devonta Freeman found the end zone last week against the Bengals, but he otherwise struggled along with most of the Ravens offense. He was held to just 20 yards on six carries and a pair of receptions. More concerning, he continued to split time with Latavius Murray, limiting his value for the final two games of the season.

This week, Freeman faces a Rams defense that ranks 19th in aFPA to opposing running backs. While it’s a nice enough matchup on paper, the shared time in the backfield with Murray is concerning enough to make Freeman a fringe fantasy option. Consider him a deep-league RB3 at best.

BAL RB Devonta Freeman - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Cincinnati Bengals

Devonta Freeman ended up in running back murk last week against the Packers, with just six carries and one catch for 24 yards. He was out-touched and out-produced by Latavius Murray, who was also no more than a modest producer.

This week, Freeman faces a Bengals defense that ranks 18th in aFPA to opposing running backs. If he can get back to a reasonably full workload, he has low-end RB2 upside, but coming off of a timeshare, fantasy managers might be bets off ignoring the Baltimore backfield entirely.

BAL RB Devonta Freeman - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Green Bay Packers

Devonta Freeman had 72 yards on 13 carries and five receptions last week against the Browns. His workload has been solid for weeks now, with six straight games of double-digit carries. Expect that to continue, giving him a nice floor, week-to-week, to close out the season.

This week, Freeman faces a Packers defense that ranks 10th in aFPA to opposing running backs. Expect another modest output with a decent shot at a touchdown, and we have him ranked as a low-end RB2 option. Freeman may not win your week for you, but if you’re struggling at the RB2 spot, he probably won’t lose the week for you either.

BAL RB Devonta Freeman - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Cleveland Browns

Devonta Freeman had a nice day against the Steelers last week, despite the loss, gaining a total of 97 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries and five receptions. He was targeted eight times and was the clear lead back in the offense. Freeman has been solid enough for Baltimore this season, and he now has double-digit touches in five straight games, despite the return of Latavius Murray to the lineup.

This week, Freeman faces a Browns defense that ranks 15th in aFPA to opposing running backs. Freeman’s workload gives him a solid floor to work with, and we have him ranked as a low-end RB2 option given the workload and reasonable matchup.

BAL RB Devonta Freeman - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Pittsburgh Steelers

Devonta Freeman didn’t do much last week against the Browns in an ugly offensive game, but the workload was there. Even though he had just 60 total yards, he carried the ball 16 times and caught his only target. Freeman has double-digit touches in each of his past four games, and two touchdowns in that span. He also has retained the lead-back role despite the return of Latavius Murray from injury.

This week, Freeman faces a Steelers defense that ranks 23rd in aFPA to opposing running backs. In a nice matchup with a seemingly steady workload, we have Freeman ranked as a fringe RB2 option. He’ll always have limited upside due to Lamar Jackson’s presence as a runner in the red zone, but all signs point to reasonable production in deeper leagues.

BAL RB Devonta Freeman - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Cleveland Browns

Devonta Freeman was held to 49 yards on 16 carries last week against the Bears, but he found the end zone and added six catches for 31 yards in the passing game. Freeman has had at least 13 touches in each of his past three games and has found the end zone in four of his last five. It was good to see him still get 22 touches, despite the return of Latavius Murray from injury.

This week, Freeman faces a Browns defense that ranks 21st in aFPA to opposing running backs. It’s been grind-it-out games or blowout victories against Cleveland lately, either of which should be good for Freeman. We have him ranked as a fringe RB2 or solid flex option this week.

BAL RB Devonta Freeman - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Chicago Bears

Devonta Freeman had 10 carries and three receptions for a total of 58 yards last week against the Dolphins. Miami shut down the Ravens offense for much of the game, and Freeman struggled to get anything going on his touches. Freeman has been the closest thing to a lead back in Baltimore with Latavius Murray sidelined, but that still hasn’t led to a ton of production, outside of finding the end zone in each of the three previous games. Still, his workload when starting gives him a decent floor to work with, making him fantasy relevant in deeper leagues. Even against a tough Chicago defense that ranks eighth in aFPA to opposing running backs, he has low-end RB2 potential if Murray remains sidelined. If Murray is active, he slides into low-end PPR flex territory. Keep an eye on the injury report.
