Summary
Royce Freeman's rookie season was not a disappointment, but it didn't go the way many Fantasy GMs expected. A high-ankle sprain derailed Freeman's rookie season, allowing Phillip Lindsay to take over as the team's starter and earn a Pro Bowl nod. Freeman has the size (230 pounds) to be a bellcow back, and the Broncos are likely to use him more in 2019 so long as he can stay healthy. Last year, the Broncos used a lot of I-formation and Freeman seemed uncomfortable running behind a fullback. This year, under new offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello, the team is going back to the zone running game. The wide zone concepts the Broncos will use this year are similar to what Freeman ran in college at Oregon, and he was incredibly productive in that scheme. Lindsay is the '1A' for the Broncos, but Freeman can easily be the '1B' for the team in 2019. There is RB3 potential for Freeman, and he's got the upside to have some RB1 weeks based on his size, ability to handle a large load and nose for the end zone. (May 6)FBG Staff Rankings
