Devonta Freeman

Devonta Freeman expected to start for Giants Sunday

Running back Devonta Freeman is expected to get the start for the New York Giants in Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams, per ESPN's Jordan Ranaan.

What It Means:

Ranaan adds that Dion Lewis is expected to play on passing downs, while Wayne Gallman will mix in for a few touches. Even Saquon Barkley struggled to produce behind the Giants' awful offensive line, so it's hard to envision any of these three backs providing much fantasy value (even in the "starting" role).

The Rams are 13.5-point favorites for today's game, so it's unlikely the Giants' running backs get much run as the team is expected to play from behind for most of the game. FanDuel set Freeman's salary at $5,400 for Week 4, and our models project him to score 8.7 fantasy points.
