  49ers | San Francisco taking a look at veteran RBs    Tue Sep 13, 05:00 PM

Free-agent RBs Devonta Freeman, Tevin Coleman, Nate McCrary, Abram Smith, La'Mical Perine and Godwin Igwebuike worked out for the San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday, Sept. 13. Free-agent Marlon Mack also visited with the 49ers.

Footballguys view: The interest in veteran RBs makes sense with Elijah Mitchell on Injured Reserve. Jeff Wilson will serve as the team's starter with rookies Jordan Mason and Tyrion Davis-Price working as reserves in the 49ers' backfield.

  Ravens | Week 18 game recap for Ravens    Sun Jan 9, 06:11 PM

Baltimore Ravens QB Tyler Huntley went 16-for-31 for 141 yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 18 and rushed for 72 yards on 12 carries. RB Latavius Murray rushed for 150 yards and one touchdown on 16 carries. RB Devonta Freeman rushed for 21 yards on five carries and caught two passes for six yards. TE Mark Andrews caught eight passes for 85 yards on 16 targets. WR Marquise Brown caught three passes for 27 yards on seven targets, while WR Rashod Bateman caught two passes for 22 yards on three targets.

Footballguys view: Huntley has looked more like a backup the last two weeks, as he couldn't make the plays when the Ravens needed them to have a shot to go to the playoffs. Murray ripped up the Steelers terrible run run defense and Andrews was steady as usual, but nothing else clicked in this offense as the team has to decide whether to keep offensive coordinator Greg Roman and sign Lamar Jackson to a market value long term extension.

Baltimore Ravens RB Devonta Freeman rushed 13 times for 64 yards in Week 14 against the Cleveland Browns while posting five grabs for eight yards on five targets.

Footballguys view: Freeman scratched out an okay performance in PPR leagues while the Ravens scratched and clawed to almost come back in this one. He'll be a flex play at best against the Packers next week unless Lamar Jackson can play.

Baltimore Ravens RB Devonta Freeman rushed 16 times for 49 yards and a touchdown in Week 11 against the Chicago Bears. He also tacked on six receptions for 31 yards on his six targets.

Footballguys view: Freeman actually put up a big game in PPR leagues even though Latavius Murray was back. He might maintain the upper hand in the backfield next week against the Browns team that D'Andre Swift ran through today.

  Ravens | Devonta Freeman musters 58 combined yards    Fri Nov 12, 12:23 AM

Baltimore Ravens RB Devonta Freeman carried the ball 10 times for 35 yards against the Miami Dolphins on Thursday, Nov. 11. He added 23 yards on three receptions.

Footballguys view: Freeman was a fantasy dud in the good matchup, but he was treated like a lead back in terms of snaps and touches compared to Le'Veon Bell, so if Latavius Murray isn't ready next week, Freeman will be a suitable RB2 against Chicago.

Footballguys view: We'll see how Freeman can work into the mix with Ty'Son Williams and Latavius Murray. The Ravens backfield is a bit of a mess right now with many moving parts. Freeman may be a small part of that.

  Saints | Devonta Freeman agrees with New Orleans    Sat Jul 31, 05:39 PM

The New Orleans Saints agreed to terms with free-agent RB Devonta Freeman (Bills) on a one-year deal Saturday, July 31, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Freeman's signing could be an indication that the Saints want to use Alvin Kamara as a receiver more while Michael Thomas is out. He's a different type of back than the #3 before his signing - Ty Montgomery, who is a dual threat like Kamara. For now Freeman belongs on the list of #3 backs to file away as potential waiver wire pickups if injuries thin the depth chart ahead of them.

  Bills | Buffalo parts with four players    Mon Feb 1, 05:34 PM

Buffalo Bills practice-squad RB Devonta Freeman, LB Darron Lee, WR Kenny Stills and PK Tristan Vizcaino had their contracts expire Monday, Feb. 1.

Footballguys view: Freeman didn't do much with two teams in 2020. His best playing days are far behind him and Freeman may find getting a new gig difficult in 2021. Stills can still play although he didn't do much last season. We'll see some team bring him in for veteran depth.

  Bills | Buffalo protects four for AFC Championship    Tue Jan 19, 06:27 PM

Buffalo Bills RB Devonta Freeman, C Jonotthan Harrison, WR Kenny Stills and RB Antonio Williams were designated as protected practice squad players for the AFC Championship Tuesday, Jan. 19.

Footballguys view: They haven't needed Stills yet as Cole Beasley has been able to play through injury during the playoffs. However, the veteran receiver is a great player to have around if you need to go deeper at the position with one -- and maybe two -- games left for the Bills this postseason.

  Bills | Devonta Freeman to Bills    Tue Jan 12, 10:10 AM

Free-agent RB Devonta Freeman (Giants) was signed to the Buffalo Bills' practice squad Tuesday, Jan. 12.

Footballguys view: Freeman's playing days aren't done yet! The Giants released Freeman from Injured Reserve on January 7th, but the Bills pick him up for their playoff run. Buffalo was prompted to do that due to the postseason-ending ankle injury to Zack Moss. Freeman is a seasoned veteran who should have a spot behind starter Devin Singletary (although we don't expect him this week against the Ravens). T.J. Yeldon should get an increased role with Moss down.

  Giants | Devonta Freeman moving on from NY Giants    Thu Jan 7, 04:46 PM

New York Giants RB Devonta Freeman (ankle, knee) was waived from the Reserve/Injured list Thursday, Jan. 7.

Footballguys view: Freeman could not stay healthy and did not impress during his time with the Giants. He's not the same player he used to be and is likely done playing in the NFL. Perhaps someone picks him up as a veteran reserve player in 2021, but it wouldn't surprise us if he's just headed for retirement.

New York Giants RB Devonta Freeman (ankle) did not practice Friday, Nov. 13, and has been ruled out for Week 10 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Footballguys view: Tate seems to be on the outs with the team and might be inactive again this week, which would help Austin Mack's status as a deep sleeper after his strong play last week.
