BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: To be clear, the possibility of adding Royce Freeman is being presented with the caveat that an investment in the fifth-year back provides a greater likelihood of frustration that you might endure if you secure the other players that are being discussed in this week’s column.
Freeman had been elevated from Houston’s practice squad after Dameon Pierce sustained an ankle injury in Week 14. That quickly propelled Freeman to a sizable in the Texans’ restructured backfield, and he has now paced Houston in rushing attempts (27) and rushing yardage (83) during the team’s last two matchups.
That includes his involvement in Week 16 when he functioned with a 55% snap share. Dare Ogunbowale is second on the Texans in carries (16) and rushing yardage (42) during that two-game sequence, while no other backs have been involved in the distribution of touches.
Houston has also run the ball 58 times since during their last two contests, and Freeman should accumulate carries when the Texans host Jacksonville this week. Availability will not be an issue if you are compelled to stash Freeman during a week in which various developments have depleted your roster options.
