BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Freeman was the eighth back to be selected during the 2018 NFL Draft (3.07), but his career trajectory was hardly favorable during his tenure with Denver. He finished second to fellow newcomer Phillip Lindsay in attempts (130/9.3 per game), and yardage (521/37.2) during 2018, and those numbers remain his career highs. He also assembled 69 yards on 19 carries during the preseason before his release by the Broncos on September 1. He was claimed from waivers by Carolina to serve as a backup McCaffrey and did not register a touch until the foundation of Carolina’s offense was sidelined. However, the 6’0”, 235-pound Freeman has been elevated into an ongoing role, as he is blended into a timeshare with Hubbard.
The rookie Hubbard will be entrusted with a larger workload with McCaffery out, which is likely to prevent Freeman from accruing numbers that will compel managers to include him in their lineups. Freeman's value would rise if he siphons a larger percentage of touches during the upcoming weeks. He would also ascend into a significant workload if Hubbard would be sidelined during McCaffrey's absence. That should incentivize managers in deeper leagues to add him this week.
