Devonta Freeman (RB, BAL) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 19% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: I truly don't know if you can mess around with a backfield as much as the Ravens have done through the 2021 season of our Lord. As many as six rushers have featured for Baltimore, with their touches ranging between two (Trenton Cannon) and 63 (Latavius Murray). The group includes unheard-of names such as Ty'Son Williams and those of former legends such as Le'Veon Bell. It's just nonsensical, and I haven't even mentioned QB Lamar Jackson's rushing prowess. Anyway, we're here to discuss the true-best RB of this squad: Devonta Freeman.

That's right. Freeman has played the most games but only the third-most snaps among Baltimore rushers this season. That's not bad, though, considering he's put up the most FP/Touch of them all and his usage should stay up/keep rising as the season progresses precisely because of his production. And Freeman is surely looking better by the week.

Freeman was an afterthought for the first four weeks of the year, playing a total of 25 snaps with an average of a 12% snap share. Ugh. After that, though, that share has gone from 27 to 30, then 40, and lastly 58 percent. The fantasy points (PPR format) have gone from 6.5 to 11.3, 12.9, and a season-high 16.3 this past Sunday. That's what we love, folks. Freeman carried the rock 13 times for 79 yards this past weekend and added a 3-2-4-1 ridiculously efficient receiving line: that means Freemans has a score (whether it came on the ground or through the air) in three consecutive weeks while avoiding fumbles entirely and reaching 39+ yards from scrimmage in all three of those games.

Freeman looks like the RB to roster from Baltimore, and for someone who has three straight games of top-24 finishes, you can do much worse than starting Freeman as your RB3/Flex (at minimum) in deeper formats.
