Ollison tallied a one-yard touchdown run on his only carry during Sunday's 29-22 win against San Francisco.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie out of Pittsburgh capitalized on his lone offensive touch Week 15, plunging across the pylon from a yard out to cut the 49ers' lead to 19-17 with 5:15 to go in the fourth quarter. Ollison now has three touchdowns since garnering his first NFL carry Week 11 against Carolina, though his 2.2 yards-per-carry average has been underwhelming in the early going. Even taking into account his limited offensive workload, Ollison has a reasonable chance of cracking the end zone again Week 16, taking on a Jaguars defense that ranks tied for 22nd in red-zone scoring attempts allowed per game (3.4) and 31st in rushing TDs allowed per game (1.4).

Ollison ran four times for six yards during Sunday's 40-20 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Ollison returned to offensive action Sunday after being relegated to special-teams duty in Week 13. Ollison has recorded carries in three of his last four games and scored in the first two, not bad for a RB4. He holds some value as a touchdown vulture, but the potential risk is not worth the reward, even Sunday against a 49ers defense that, while tops in the league against the pass, surrenders 4.6 yards per opponent carry, 24th in the league.

Ollison registered 20 yards and a touchdown on eight carries, and hauled in his only target for seven yards during Sunday's 35-22 loss to the Buccaneers.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie back out of Pittsburgh has demonstrated a nose for the end zone through the early portion of his professional career, scoring on his very first NFL carry last week against Carolina, and punching in another from a yard out Sunday against Tampa Bay to provide him with two TDs on 12 total rush attempts. With Brian Hill managing only 1.8 yards per carry in his two-game audition as the starter and Devonta Freeman (foot) potentially facing his third straight absence, Ollison could transition into a more prominent role Thanksgiving night when the Falcons take on a Saints defense that contained Christian McCaffrey to fewer than 3.0 YPC in Week 12.

Ollison ran for 11 yards and a touchdown on four carries during Sunday's 29-3 win against the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie back dressed for the first time last week during Atlanta's upset of New Orleans, but did not receive an offensive snap until the Falcons' road trip to Charlotte. Ollison toted just under 20 percent of the team's running back carries, and most notably tallied his first career touchdown in a regular-season game. If Devonta Freeman (foot) is forced to sit out again in Week 12, Ollison will continue to serve as a complementary option to Brian Hill in a matchup against a Buccaneers defense that has contained opponents to a meager 3.5 yards per carry this season.

Coach Dan Quinn said that Ollison "will definitely take on more of a role" in Sunday's game against the Panthers with top running back Devonta Freeman (knee) ruled out for the contest, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The fifth-round pick out of Pittsburgh has been on the Atlanta roster all season, but he was a healthy inactive through the first eight games before filling purely a special-teams role in his NFL debut in last weekend's upset win in New Orleans. With Freeman sidelined for at least one game, however, Ollison should get his first snaps on offense, though both the rookie and veteran Kenjon Barner will rank as clear depth options behind Brian Hill. Thanks in part to Freeman's early exit versus the Saints, Hill picked up a season-high 40 offensive snaps, while Barner played 11.

Ollison (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 5 tilt against the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie will continue to wait on his NFL debut despite the fact fellow running back Kenjon Barner (concussion) is out for a second consecutive week. Brian Hill will continue backing up the top backfield duo of Devonta Freeman and Ito Smith.

Ollison (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

With Kenjon Barner out due to a concussion, a spot was open on the Falcons' game-day roster, but Brian Hill and not Ollison will serve as the third available running back behind Devonta Freeman and Ito Smith. Ollison thus will have to wait another week for his potential NFL debut.

Coach Dan Quinn said Friday that one of Ollison or Brian Hill will be active versus the Titans on Sunday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ollison didn't receive as many practice reps as Hill this week, but the rookie fifth-round pick appears to have a chance of making his NFL debut Sunday. His opportunity comes with Kenjon Barner (concussion) ruled out. Of course, whichever of Ollison or Hill does suit up Sunday will likely be limited to a depth role behind Devonta Freeman and Ito Smith.

Ollison worked in the running back rotation during Wednesday's practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ollison has been inactive for each of Atlanta's games this season, but he's now facing opportunity with Ito Smith (concussion) and Kenjon Barner (concussion/knee) both managing injuries. Depending on the health of the Falcons' running back group Week 4, Ollison and Brian Hill could be active and serve as the top backups to Devonta Freeman.

Ollison (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 3 tilt against the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

The reserve running back will take a seat for the third time in as many games to open the season. Devonta Freeman has generated career-low efficiency over the first two games of 2019 while averaging 2.2 yards per carry, but coach Dan Quinn apparently is content with Freeman, Ito Smith and return specialist Kenjon Barner constituting his backfield for at least another week.
