According to The Denver Posts Ryan O’Halloran, the Denver Broncos are expected to name rookie Royce Freeman the starting running back later today.
The Broncos are going to release their week one depth chart later today and the rookie Freeman is expected to be listed first. This shouldn’t be a real shock considering he has looked like the starter throughout the preseason. This is what the Broncos expected from him when they selected him in the third round of the 2018 draft as well. So he is living up to expectations and could be on the verge of a breakout season.
