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.
