Qadree Ollison Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Kyle Pitts, Frank Darby, and Qadree Ollison have all been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Pitts said to media members that he will play this weekend and has a shot to break the rookie tight end record for receiving yards. However, if Pitts were unable to go this weekend, Hayden Hurst would likely step into the primary tight end role with Lee Smith and Parker Hesse available to back him up. Hurst would need to be considered in DFS contests as a value option in an offense that heavily relies on its tight ends in the passing game. Darby is expected to serve as receiver depth and his potential absence would not be DFS relevant. The same could be said for Ollison who is expected to serve as running back depth.

Kyle Pitts and Qadree Ollison returned to practice Thursday ahead of the Falcons matchup against the New Orleans Saints this Sunday. Pitts said to media members that he will play this weekend and has a shot to break the rookie tight end record for receiving yards. However, if Pitts were unable to go this weekend, Hayden Hurst would likely step into the primary tight end role with Lee Smith and Parker Hesse available to back him up. Hurst would need to be considered in DFS contests as a value option in an offense that heavily relies on its tight ends in the passing game. Ollison also made his return to practice today and will likely be able to remain in his role as the third running back behind Cordarrelle Patterson and Mike Davis.

Kyle Pitts (hamstring) and Qadree Ollison (quad) both logged DNPs Wednesday ahead of the Falcons matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Pitts is dealing with a hamstring injury and could be a huge loss for Atlanta this week. If Pitts were to be ruled out, Hayden Hurst would likely step into the primary tight end role with Lee Smith and Parker Hesse available to back him up. Hurst would need to be considered in DFS contests as a value option in an offense that heavily relies on its tight ends in the passing game. Ollison was expected to serve as running back depth so his absence would not be DFS relevant. It will be important to monitor Pitts practice status throughout the week.

In a flurry of moves the Falcons have activated Hayden Hurst from IR to 53-man roster, signed Qadree Ollison to the active roster from the practice squad, and released Wayne Gallman. Hurst should immediately come in and serve as the backup tight end to Kyle Pitts. Hurst should be a part of the offense but not a big enough piece to be considered in DFS contests. The writing has been on the wall over the past few weeks that Ollison had supplanted Gallman as the third back in the Atlanta backfield and this move makes it official. Ollison will continue to see work but not enough to be DFS relevant at this time.

Qadree Ollison has been elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Ollison should split time backing up Cordarelle Patterson with Mike Davis as he has earned this role with success in the past weeks. Ollison is expected to play a role on offense but in this tough of a matchup should not be considered for DFS contests at this time.

Cordarrelle Patterson has officially been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars while Qadree Ollison is not expected to be available. If available, Patterson is expected to reclaim his role as the top back in the Falcons backfield splitting time with Mike Davis and Wayne Gallman would be available to back them up. If Patterson were to be ruled out, Mike Davis would likely be the lead back for Atlanta with Gallman also mixing in. Ollison has been dealing with a non-COVID related illness and is not expected to be elevated from the practice squad tomorrow meaning more work for whichever backs are available for the Falcons on Sunday.

Parker Hesse and Qadree Ollison have been elevated from the practice squad for Thursday's game against the New England Patriots. Hesse and Ollison are expected to serve as depth at their respective positions and do not figure to be DFS relevant even on a showdown slate. They should only be considered as dart throw punt play options.

Freeman will return after missing the previous two games. He should return to getting around 15 touches per game, while Brian Hill and Qadree Ollison will go back to their smaller roles.
