Freeman finished the 2023 regular season with 77 rushes for 319 yards and two touchdowns, adding one catch for 13 yards.
ANALYSIS
Signed a day after Sony Michel retired, Freeman spent much of the year relegated as deep reserve option in the backfield behind Kyren Williams, Ronnie Rivers, and at one point, Darrell Henderson. When Freeman did take the field as a co-starter alongside Henderson when Williams and Rivers went down with injury in Weeks 7 through 11, the veteran back made the most of his opportunity, posting a 50-215-1 line in the four-game stretch. The Rams have Williams and rookie Zach Evans on the roster for 2024 and will likely bring Rivers, an exclusive-rights free agent, back as well. Whether Freeman will return for a second season with the Rams likely hinges on how much the team trusts the aforementioned trio to stay healthy for a full season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Usage likely to decline Week 12
Freeman's opportunities will likely decline beginning in Week 12 against the Cardinals, as head coach Sean McVay said Monday that he expects Kyren Williams to return from injured reserve for that game, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Freeman and Darrell Henderson have split carries while Williams has been sidelined for the past three games by a knee injury. After rushing for 142 yards and one touchdown over that span, Freeman should have one more game of elevated usage Week 11 against the Seahawks before likely moving to a complementary role upon Williams' return.

Houston gave Freeman a job in Week 10 last season after being released by the Panthers, the second of three teams to employ him in 2021. He joined the Texans just before they released Phillip Lindsay and David Johnson landed on the COVID-19 list. Those circumstances elevated Freeman to second on the depth chart behind Rex Burkhead for a spell. This coming season, the 26-year-old returns to a crowded but unheralded running back room. The top three options are Marlon Mack, Rex Burkhead and rookie Dameon Pierce. After that, there are two open spots, one of which could go to a fullback. With that in mind, get used to hearing Freeman's name along with fellow depth RBs Dare Ogunbowale and Darius Anderson.
