Breaking down the Falcons position battles heading into the final week of preseason

The Falcons have roster and position battles that still have not been settled, though they soon will be. Before Atlanta settles this with their series of roster cuts coming this Friday and/or Saturday, here are updates on what we’ve seen to this point for some of the biggest battles on the roster.

Fullback

Ricky Ortiz was a bit banged up heading into this one, but he still out-snapped Jalston Fowler, and seems to be in the driver’s seat for the fullback job. Unless the team secretly likes Fowler more than they’re letting on, or if he blows Ortiz out of the water in Week 4, I think the former undrafted free agent is headed for the starting job.
