The Dallas Cowboys signed free-agent running back Royce Freeman to an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday, according to a source. The former third-round pick of the Denver Broncos in 2018 out of Oregon spent last year with the Los Angeles Rams and had 77 carries for 319 yards and two rushing touchdowns in 14 regular-season games (zero starts) while adding a 13-yard catch on two targets. Even with Tony Pollard departing via Tennessee in free agency this offseason, it might be tough for Freeman to make a huge impact in Dallas' backfield in 2024 alongside the likes of Rico Dowdle, Deuce Vaughn and Malik Davis. The Cowboys could also add more competition at the position via the upcoming draft. At best, Freeman could be a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex option in fantasy in 2024.

Free-agent RB Royce Freeman (Rams) signed a one-year contract with the Dallas Cowboys Tuesday, April 16, according to a source. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Fantasy Spin: The Cowboys do not have a clear starter at running back, so Freeman may have the chance to compete for the job during training camp. His fantasy value will be determined by his role in the offense if he makes the team.
From TheHuddle
Los Angeles Rams RB Royce Freeman rushed four times for two yards in Week 18 against the San Francisco 49ers, while adding a 13-yard catch on his lone target.
From TheHuddle
Los Angeles Rams running back Royce Freeman has an opportunity to lead the backfield with Kyren Williams being rested. Freeman was given an increased role when Williams went on injured reserve earlier this season and impressed. The 27-year-old has carried the ball 73 times for 317 yards and two touchdowns on the ground this season. He beat out Darrell Henderson Jr. and has proven to be the best pure runner when Williams is out. Facing the San Francisco 49ers in Week 18, consider Freeman as a cheap DFS dart throw and RB4 in fantasy leagues.
From RotoBaller
Los Angeles Rams RB Royce Freeman ended up with three rushes for nine yards with no targets in the pass game in Week 14 against the Baltimore Ravens.
From TheHuddle
Los Angeles Rams running back Royce Freeman rushed just one time for no yards and did not see a target in the Week 13 win over the Cleveland Browns. It was a disappointing development for fantasy managers who utilized him as a deep-league flex play. After his usage on Sunday, he can no longer be trusted in fantasy lineups. That said, he remains a bench stash in case Kyren Williams has to miss any time down the stretch. Darrell Henderson is on the team's practice squad, so Freeman looks to have beat him out. It's worth noting Ronnie Rivers (knee) could return from Injured Reserve soon.
From RotoBaller
Los Angeles Rams RB Royce Freeman ended up with just one rush for no gain and he was not targeted in the pass game in Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns.
From TheHuddle
Los Angeles Rams RB Royce Freeman rushed 13 times for 77 yards and a touchdown in Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals, while he was not targeted in the pass game.
Fantasy Spin: As promised, Freeman still had a role despite the return of Kyren Williams from the reserve/injured list. However, as long as Williams is healthy, Freeman is more of an RB3 or flex fantasy play in leagues of 12 or more teams going forward.
From TheHuddle
Los Angeles Rams running back Royce Freeman was the clear base-down back in the team's 17-16 win against the Seattle Seahawks. Freeman carried the ball 17 times for 73 yards, leading the team in rushing yards for the fourth straight game. He has been more efficient than Darrell Henderson Jr. on the ground by a wide margin since the injury of Kyren Williams (ankle). While Freeman has produced with the carries he has gotten, Henderson is the team's pass-down back. Factoring in that Williams has a good chance to return in their Week 12 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals, Freeman is a low-end RB4 at best but should now be considered over Henderson.
From RotoBaller
Los Angeles Rams RB Royce Freeman rushed 17 times for a game-high 73 yards in Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks, and he was not targeted in the pass game.
Fantasy Spin: Freeman led the backfield, as head coach Sean McVay went with the hot hand. Darrell Henderson Jr. wasn't it, as he had six carries for a single yard, while posting four receptions. Fantasy managers will want to target Freeman as a RB3 or flex option heading into Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals.
From TheHuddle
Los Angeles Rams running back Royce Freeman has played over 40% of all offensive snaps through the last three weeks. Kyren Williams (knee) can not be activated off IR until Week 12, giving Freeman another opportunity to produce. Freeman has been much more efficient than Darrell Henderson Jr. on the ground but has been a non-factor in the passing game. The 27-year-old now faces a Seattle Seahawks defense that has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing backs. He should be considered a low-end and deep-league flex play in Week 11.
From RotoBaller
Los Angeles Rams RB Royce Freeman rushed 12 times for a team-high 32 yards in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers, and he did not have a reception with just one target.
From TheHuddle
Los Angeles Rams running back Royce Freeman was not efficient in the team's Week 9 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Freeman rushed the ball 12 times for just 32 yards on the ground while drawing one target which he could not bring in. The 27-year-old has now led the team in rush yards for all three games that Kyren Williams (ankle) has been out for. Freeman and Darrell Henderson Jr. have split the backfield almost evenly, making it tough to trust either weekly. Freeman is an RB4 option at best in his Week 10 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks.
From RotoBaller
Los Angeles Rams running back Royce Freeman has split snaps almost evenly with Darrell Henderson Jr. over the last two games. Freeman has rushed the ball 21 times for 110 yards and one touchdown during that span. What has held the 27-year-old back is his lack of involvement in the passing game, as he has yet to draw a single target on the season. Freeman out-snapped Henderson in Week 8 and proved to be more efficient on the ground. With Brett Rypien likely to start at quarterback, the team may lean much more into the run game. Treat Freeman as a sneaky flex play in his Week 9 matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
