Running Backs

  • Devonta Freeman
  • Ito Smith
  • Kenjon Barner
  • Qadree Ollison
  • Ricky Ortiz

Freeman is one of the best all-around backs in the league when he has been able to stay healthy. That hasn’t been the case the past couple seasons though. The depth took a hit with the departure of Tevin Coleman this offseason, but Smith, Barner, and Ollison are all capable of filling a role. Ortiz will be the fullback when the Falcons use one in the formation.

Player to watch: Tony Brooks-James
