7 years agoDenver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph named rookie running back Royce Freeman as the starter heading into Week 1 against the Seahawks. “That being said, it’s going to be by packages also. Royce is our leading runner, but on third downs you’ll probably see [Devontae] Booker and obviously having a package for Phillip [Lindsay]’s going to be important to each game plan we have each week," Joseph said. Freeman had 15 carries for 84 yards and three touchdowns in the preseason and clearly outplayed Devontae Booker. Freeman has the most upside from this backfield and could potentially be plugged in as an RB2 in Week 1. The Seattle defense isn't as formidable as they once were.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
