Royce Freeman will provide depth to a surprisingly thin Dallas Cowboys’ running back room that includes Rico Dowdle, and Deuce Vaughn. However, the Cowboys starting running back in 2024 likely isn’t on the roster yet. They will be a strong candidate to add a back in this month’s NFL Draft which will leave the above running backs in complimentary roles.

Freeman can be left on the waiver wire in most formats, but is a stash in deeper dynasty fantasy football leagues. While Freeman won’t be the starting running back week one, if he makes the team, he could be valuable as injuries always play a factor. Freeman recorded four top-30 fantasy finishes in 2023 when given an opportunity with the Rams. With the Broncos’ offensive situation so bleak though it leaves him as a less desirable handcuff.
