Scouting report

ATL RB Devonta Freeman - Week 10, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10: Freeman vs. Bucs
Devonta Freeman carried the ball three times for five yards while also catching a seven-yard touchdown pass in the Falcons’ Week 8 loss to the Lions. He’s shown more burst and elusiveness than the 31-year-old Steven Jackson but Atlanta seems reluctant to give more carries to Freeman and/or Antone Smith. We doubt the Falcons’ coaching staff came to its senses during the bye and will give Freeman more looks, so it’s safe to leave him on your waiver wire.

ATL RB Devonta Freeman - Week 8, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8: Freeman vs. Lions
Devonta Freeman rushed twice for 20 yards and also caught five passes for 17 yards in the Falcons’ Week 7 loss to the Ravens. The five receptions tied a season high for Freeman but there’s no guarantee that he’ll continue to be involved in the passing game. Instead of giving Freeman and Antone Smith more touches, OC Dirk Koetter continues to spread the wealth between all four of his backs, including ineffective players like Steven Jackson and Jacquizz Rodgers. Freeman has little to no fantasy value.

ATL RB Devonta Freeman - Week 7, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7: Freeman vs. Ravens
Devonta Freeman carried the ball just twice for five yards while adding two catches on three targets for an addition 26 yards in the Falcons' Week 6 loss to the Bears. At the start of the season we thought Freeman would be the Atlanta back to own because he was a nice fit for the Falcons' pass-happy offense. But he's stuck in a four-back committee and has been outplayed by Antone Smith. At some point the Atlanta coaching staff may come to its senses and give Smith and Freeman more opportunities while sliding Steven Jackson and Jacquizz Rodgers down the depth chart, but we're not holding our breath. Freeman isn't worth owning in re-draft leagues and can safely be cut if you haven't already. He ranks as our No. 50 overall RB for Week 7.

ATL RB Devonta Freeman - Week 6, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6: Freeman vs. Bears
Devonta Freeman rushed four times for 38 yards while catching five passes for 44 yards in the Falcons' Week 5 loss to the Giants. It was the rookie's most productive game of the season but he continues to share touches with three other backs: Steven Jackson, Antone Smith and Jacquizz Rodgers. After coach Mike Smith admitted earlier this week that Smith deserves more touches, Freeman's role in the offense could shrink again. Leave the rookie on your waiver wire for now.

ATL RB Devonta Freeman - Week 5, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5: Freeman vs. Giants
Devonta Freeman rushed just twice for eight yards while adding two catches for 12 yards in the Falcons' Week 4 loss to the Vikings. Atlanta likes to use all four of its backs in a committee but Freeman continues to be low man on the totem pole. Leave him on your waiver wire.

ATL RB Devonta Freeman - Week 4, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4: Freeman vs. Vikings
Devonta Freeman rushed 11 times for 12 yards in the Falcons' 56-14 win over the Buccaneers in Week 3. He also added a seven-yard reception and lost a fumble when the ball was easily popped out of his grip in the second half. Freeman is just one of the four backs that Atlanta employs in its backfield committee and at this point, he holds no fantasy value. In the past we've recommend to stash Freeman in case he eventually emerges as the lead back but owners can safely drop him if they're in need of a roster spot. OC Dirk Koetter seems adamant on using all four of his backs in his offense.

ATL RB Devonta Freeman - Week 3, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Freeman vs. Bucs
Devonta Freeman caught 2-of-4 passes for 22 yards in the Falcons' Week 2 loss versus the Bengals but was also held without a rushing attempt. Atlanta used all four of its backs effectively against the Saints in Week 1 but scaled back its committee in Week 2 and Freeman received less touches as a result. With Steven Jackson looking like a shell of his former self, the more explosive Freeman should get more looks in the Falcons' pass-first offense soon. Then again, coach Mike Smith stuck with Michael Turner a full year after the veteran stopped being productive so maybe Jackson will continue to see the bulk of carries at the expense of guys like Freeman. If you have the roster space, keep Freeman on your bench for now and stash him for down the road. At some point Smith might not have a choice but to turn to the rookie to jump start the running game but for now, Freeman has no fantasy value.
