When the Denver Broncos selected Royce Freeman in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft, expectations were high. He left Oregon as the Duck's all-time leading rusher and many thought he would immediately be one of the more productive runners in the NFL. If you played fantasy football back then, you probably remember how highly he was valued without ever playing a down.
But things did not go according to plan. His rookie season was rather blah and he found himself in a committee with another rookie, undrafted free agent Phillip Lindsey.
