Qadree Ollison Carving Out A Bigger Role?
4 years agoAtlanta Falcons running back Qadree Ollison could be creating a spot for himself in the offense this year. The third-year back from Pittsburgh impressed the coaching staff during spring workouts, although lead back Mike Davis was not in attendance and players weren't going full speed. Ollison has just 23 career carries for 53 yards and four touchdowns, but in new head coach Arthur Smith's scheme, he could have a much bigger role than he did in Dirk Koetter's offense. Davis could very easily break down since he's never entered a season as a team's lead back before, so Ollison, not Cordarrelle Patterson, is the next best bet to benefit. The 24-year-old will need to prove more, though, to warrant fantasy consideration beyond the deepest formats.
