“Patience and timing are everything,” Freeman said. “I’ve got a family to feed, and I don’t want to struggle anymore. Now, I can see it, feel it, taste it. But I’ve got to finish strong and not think about the money this week — we’ve got too much to play for. After that, well, I feel like I’ve done my part. Now, hopefully, I’ll get rewarded.”
The former fourth-round pick is scheduled to make $690K in 2017 in the third year of a four-year rookie deal. Thus, win or lose, his leverage may not be great because of the presence of Tevin Coleman, who has turned the Atlanta RB position into a very effective platoon.
Freeman finished with 243 fantasy points, the sixth-highest RB. In 2015, he was the #2 scoring running back.
