Atlanta Falcons rookie running back Qadree Ollison should have an opportunity to receive his first NFL carry this week. The team will likely be without No. 1 running back Devonta Freeman (foot) for the game, making Brian Hill the next-man-up and Ollison his potential No. 2. Ollison is the biggest back amongst the Falcons' core rushers, standing 6'1" and weighing around 230 pounds. He could carve out a role as the team's short-yardage back. He should be on radars in all formats and is worthy ...

Atlanta Falcons rookie running back Qadree Ollison saw double-digit carries for the second game in a row Thursday night. He rushed 14 times for 51 yards, including a 9-yard touchdown run. He had 12 carries for 42 yards in the team's previous game. His yards-per-carry have been just about even the past two games as he averaged 3.6 yards-per-carry this week, compared to 3.5 yards-per carry the previous week. The Falcons have clearly made it a priority to get their 6th round pick a heavy amount of...

Atlanta Falcons running back Qadree Ollison was extremely active in Thursday's preseason game against the Redskins, carrying the ball 12 times for 42 yards, good for 3.5 yards per carry. Ollison has gotten a lot of run this preseason. He led the team in both carries and rushing yards in the Falcons' previous outing against the Jets with nine rushes for 44 yards. The rookie fifth round pick will likely be third on the team's depth chart at running back to start the season behind Devonta Freeman...

Atlanta Falcons rookie running back Qadree Ollison has had a solid preseason so far and led the team in both carries and rushing yards in preseason Week 2. Ollison rushed nine times for 44 yards against the Jets this past week, good for a stellar 4.9 yards per carry. Ollison will be battling Ito Smith and Brian Hill for the backup running back role behind Devonta Freeman. Smith is likely the favorite for now, but Ollison, who is around 6-foot-1 and 230 pounds, offers a much different skill set ...

Atlanta Falcons running back Qadree Ollison had a solid night on Thursday, finishing things up against the Miami Dolphins with 41 yards and a touchdown off of eight rushing attempts. After an unimpressive outing against the Denver Broncos during the annual Hall of Fame Game that saw the rookie rush for two yards (six attempts), this was a positive sign that he may have a job this season. He still has a long way to go, however, before he is a serious contender to back up Devonta Freeman in 2019 a[...]

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill is set to compete with fifth-round rookie Qadree Ollison for the "big-back role" on the team this summer. The 23-year-old Hill ran the ball 20 times for 157 yards (7.8 average) in just 10 games for the Falcons in 2018. The 2017 fifth-round pick has 31 carries in his two seasons in the NFL, and the winner of the competition will likely have a shot at a short-yardage role behind Devonta Freeman and Ito Smith. That role won't make either player fantasy re[...]
