Ollison the #2?

Qadree Ollison has run as the #2 RB in Falcons camp behind Mike Davis, per beat writer Tori McElhaney of The Athletic. A 2019 5th-rounder, Ollison goes 6’1, 228 pounds and posted 212-1,121-11 as a freshman at Pittsburgh (2015). There’s just not much flash or explosiveness to his game. Plus, the Falcons likely remain in the market for backfield insurance. That leaves Ollison as just a last-round flier in deep formats.

Falcons RB Qadree Ollison missed practice this week with a non-COVID illness and is not expected to play vs. the Jaguars on Sunday, according to insider Orlando Ledbetter. Ollison doesn't show up on the official injury report because he's currently on the practice squad. He ended up leading the Cordarrelle Patterson-less Atlanta backfield last week, tallying 9 carries to Mike Davis' 3 and Wayne Gallman's 1. Patterson is trending toward returning for Sunday's game and is the only viable fantasy play in this backfield.
