2018 NFL free agency: Gauging the market at fullback for the Atlanta Falcons

As we wrote yesterday, the Falcons have a decision to make at the fullback position. Traditionally one of the more stable spots on offense over the last decade, fullback is a legitimate question mark with Derrick Coleman turning in a solid but unspectacular 2017 and the team needing to make a decision on whether or not to seek an upgrade.

As you’ll see later today, there are draft options, including some players who might be useful as more than just conventional fullbacks in this Falcons offense. Because I’m going to assume the team is not going to expend a draft pick on a fullback unless they plan to get more out of them than some blocking and special teams work, though, I still think free agency is the likeliest route for this football team.
