Stymied in finale
Freeman rushed seven times for 15 yards and brought in his only target for two yards in the Texans' 32-31 win over the Colts on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Freeman was unable to take advantage of what had been an inconsistent Indy run defense, gaining nearly half his meager rushing yardage total on a seven-yard scamper and netting just eight yards on his other six totes. The journeyman back has appeared in 11 games with the Texans over the last two seasons and is on an expiring contract, and it remains to be seen if he'll have a chance to claim a complementary role behind the promising Dameon Pierce (IR-ankle) in training camp next summer.

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.
