Scouting report

BAL RB Devonta Freeman - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Miami Dolphins

Devonta Freeman had 13 carries and a pair of receptions for a total of 83 yards and a touchdown last week against the Vikings. Freeman has a part-time role for the Ravens, but he’s scored a touchdown in three straight games and seems to be the most active running back in the passing game with three targets per game over his last four. Freeman is risky because he’s in a committee, especially if Latavius Murray returns to action this week after missing the last two contests. But if you’re desperate, Freeman has some upside in deeper leagues as a low-end flex or RB3 option. If Murray can’t go, he could flirt with RB2 numbers, especially in a nice matchup against the Dolphins, who rank 20th in aFPA to opposing running backs.

BAL RB Devonta Freeman - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Minnesota Vikings

Devonta Freeman had four carries for 14 yards and a touchdown against the Bengals before the bye last week. He also added 25 yards on three receptions. Freeman is an interesting desperation starter – especially in PPR formats – but he’s too risky to have in lineups while Latavius Murray is healthy. Murray and Lamar Jackson are more likely to get red zone touches, and Freeman’s snap count will vary from week to week. Sit him.

Update: With Murray likely out today, Freeman becomes an interesting RB3 or flex option for desperate fantasy managers.

BAL RB Devonta Freeman - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Devonta Freeman looked pretty sharp in a time-share last week, gaining 53 yards and scoring a touchdown on nine carries. He also was targeted twice, but didn’t record a reception. He’s part of a group of running backs vying for touches, but has a chance at double-digit touches against the Bengals this week if Latavius Murray misses time – as expected – after leaving early last week. Freeman is probably worth adding in deeper leagues, but is too risky to start in the vast majority of formats. However, if Murray is out and you have bye week issues, Freeman might be worth a gamble against the Bengals.

Update: With Murray officially out, Freeman has a chance at decent production and is worth considering as a bye-week filler.

NYG RB Devonta Freeman - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Devonta Freeman had his worse game by far as a Giant last week, rushing for just eight yards on three carries against the Eagles. Freeman was outplayed by Wayne Gallman, who also didn’t look great, and the Giants’ backfield doesn’t look primed for any kind of consistent fantasy success. Hold Freeman in case he regains the job after a bad game, but sit him in a very difficult matchup against the Buccaneers this week.

NYG RB Devonta Freeman - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Philadelphia Eagles

Devonta Freeman averaged only 3.4 yards per carry last week, finishing with 61 yards rushing and one reception for a loss of four yards in the passing game. However, he touched the ball 19 times and has averaged 17.7 touches over the last three games. It’s good to see him getting a full workload and Wayne Gallman and Dion Lewis don’t seem to be challenging him at all for carries.

This Thursday night, Freeman faces an Eagles defense that ranks ninth in aFPA to opposing running backs, making it hard to trust him to put up big numbers. Additionally, the Eagles are likely to win this game, so it may be difficult for Freeman to get his usual 17.7 touches. We have him ranked as a fringe RB2 option in a tough matchup.

NYG RB Devonta Freeman - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Washington Football Team

Devonta Freeman had 87 yards and a touchdown on 19 touches, including two receptions against the Cowboys last week. His workload has steadily improved since arriving three weeks ago. He had 15 touches against the Rams, and then 19 last week. If he can average 15-plus touches per game moving forward, he has RB2 upside, particularly if the Giants’ offense comes out of the dumpster, though it’s early to assume that’ll be the case.

This week, Freeman faces a Washington defense that ranks 15th in aFPA to opposing rushers and held Darrell Henderson to just 2.5 yards per carry last week – although they did give up a 46-yard run to rookie Cam Akers. Expect enough of a workload for Freeman to be productive again this week, but the struggles of the Giants’ offense makes him a low-end RB2 in most leagues.

NYG RB Devonta Freeman - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Devonta Freeman got the bulk of the touches in the Giants’ backfield last week against the Rams, but that still ended up being just 11 carries for 33 yards. He added 35 yards on four receptions, salvaging an otherwise dismal performance, but it’s clear the Giants are going to struggle to run the ball.

The Cowboys rank 10th in aFPA to opposing running backs, but that’s partially because of how many shootouts they’ve been in. If Freeman can get 15 touches again, he has low-end RB2 potential, but we have him ranked as an RB3/flex option in most leagues.
