Royce Freeman racks up 53 total yards Friday against Rams

Royce Freeman rushed nine times for 30 yards while also hauling in two catches for 23 yards in the Texans’ 24-20 win over the Rams.

Fantasy Impact: Freeman made the most of his opportunities on the field for the Texans Friday night, as he looks to grab a spot in a crowded Houston backfield likely to be lead by rookie Dameon Pierce. The veteran running back will have a hard time offering any consistent fantasy value, especially with Marlon Mack and Rex Burkhead also in the backfield mix for Lovie Smith’s team.
