The Facts:
Rookie tailback Jerious Norwood also has been impressive but Duckett, who reported to camp in top shape, has put up more than a tough fight for the backup tailback spot, Jim Mora said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Duckett may be holding his own against the speedy newcomer, but the fact he's in a heated competition speaks volumes about his standing in Atlanta. With recent reports hinting that Duckett still might be of interest to other teams -- and with the Falcons in need of veteran talent at wideout in the wake of Brian Finneran's season-ending knee injury -- don't be surprised if the trade rumors heat up in coming days.
