I think he's main ball carrier for giants, with smallwood out, i think clement takes over his role and blounts role remains the same.Given the situation, do you start Gallman over Blount? Is Gallman going to share time or his he the main ball carrier this week?
No offense, but ARE YOU INSANE?!?!!!??!!!Contemplating dropping Chris Thompson for him. It's hard not to get enticed by these kinds of rolls of the dice. I didn't want any part of the Giants backfield to start the year, but I really like Gallman's potential right now.
Almost certainly, hence the inner dialogue, so I appreciate the thoughts. Haven't dropped him yet, but there's something about sniping a player like Gallman the week before he goes off, which makes this kind of move so enticing.No offense, but ARE YOU INSANE?!?!!!??!!
I can name less talented guys who have actually helped win fantasy championships. I remember having Asiata drop 30 burgers on my opponents.Rove! said:Championship
I don't think Clement takes over Smallwood's role. He probably sees more carries but Barner is now officially their best pass catching back.I think he's main ball carrier for giants, with smallwood out, i think clement takes over his role and blounts role remains the same.
It's incorrect but not insane. Thompson's touches will always be capped and he's masked that with some huge and frankly unsustainable long plays in September. I would 100% try and move Thompson instead of dropping him but I also wouldn't be surprised if Gallman out produces him ROS if he takes over the NYG backfield.No offense, but ARE YOU INSANE?!?!!!??!!!
Wait...let me start over....Thompson is very good. If you were considering dropping Rawls or Miller or Burkhead, we could have a conversation, but please don't go trading away Chris Thompson willy nilly for a PROMISING maybe.
I would too. Crow has been abysmal.benching Crowell for Gallman.
i know that's not saying much.
Crowell is still rostered?benching Crowell for Gallman.
i know that's not saying much.
No to both. Fuller is a poor man's Bryant who can get you a 0 at the drop of a hat. I have Martavis and I'm benching him, seems like he's going to play through illness.Currently starting Gallman and Collins over Martavis, Crabtree, and Fuller in 0.5 ppr. Is that crazy? I know there are a few Collins truthers in here too..... waddya all think gents?
I was just reading through posts on NYG message boards and everyone unanimously agrees that Richburg is a below average run blocker and that Jones is actually an upgrade in that respect.Brett Jones will be the starter at Center, and he's been good sliding all over the line. I don't worry about him or Pugh, it's Flowers/Hart/Jerry that scare me.
I don't get the hesitation. Perkins is out so he's going to be the starter, and it's already been announced he'll get a majority of carries. I wish I could start him, but I literally don't have a spot for him in my LU.I picked up Gallman this week also but untill I see him get the majority of the carries I cant start him over guys like Blount. Im an Eagles fan and clement will be involved this week but Smallwood was a good pass catcher but Clement isnt so even though he will get a few touches he wont be used like Smallwood
Don't forget he falls forward too!I like him coming off a National Championship program. I've watched enough of his tape to know he can be a starting RB.
He's not great in any area but he's someone who's got above average power, elusiveness, and vision.
If the hole is there, he's going to hit it. He's occasionally going to slip into the secondary but isn't a true homerun hitter.
In a sense, he's everything Paul Perkins isn't. A tough between the tackles grinder who will get what's blocked for him.
It hasn’t been announced that he’s the starter OR that he’ll get the majority of the carries. Reporters have speculated that both of those things are true, but AFAIK, no NYG coaches have said these things.I don't get the hesitation.

He got the majority of carries last week didn't he?It hasn’t been announced that he’s the starter OR that he’ll get the majority of the carries. Reporters have speculated that both of those things are true, but AFAIK, no NYG coaches have said these things.
ESPN's Jordan Raanan reports the "expectation is" Wayne Gallman and Orleans Darkwa will "split carries" against the Chargers.
There have been a variety of reports on the Giants' backfield this week, all of them focusing on Gallman. Coach Ben McAdoo has said he will use a "hot hand" approach, while SNY's Ralph Vacchiano reported Gallman is expected to get a "majority" of the work. We'd guess everyone is right, with McAdoo open to a hot hand, but Gallman getting the first chance to develop it. He's an upside RB3. Darkwa is best treated as an RB4. Oct 8 - 11:22 AM
Never said he didn't, just that nothing definite has come from the coaches. Darkwa was inactive last week though when Gallman got those touches. I don't think he should get more work than Gallman, & I hope Gallman gets the touches (I'm flexing him in a league), but I don't want someone reading this thread for info getting FALSE info.He got the majority of carries last week didn't he?
Confused. What's the boom? That Darkwa & Gallman will split carries? Because that's what your link said.There's no way he doesn't get it. Vereen is not due to Giants trying to keep him fresh (injury plagued last year and when given the job he wore down and fumbled) and Darkwa doesn't have the staff's trust despite looking better than Perkins for months. I've said this before but I'm a Giants fan; barring ineffectiveness/fumbling Gallman is getting the carries with Darkwa changing the pace.
EDIT: BOOM
Which means since Jones is at Center, Bobby Hart and John Jerry are BOTH on the right, and Hart will face Joey Bosa... Hart and Jerry are two of the Giants problem O-lineman and Hart had been out before.Jordan RaananVerified account @JordanRaanan 3h3 hours ago
Barring late setback by John Jerry (hammy) expectation is Justin Pugh moves back to LG, Bobby Hart back at RT and Jerry at RG, per source
I'm still rolling with Gallman over Collins, even with the news that Darkwa is starting I think Gallman is going to get a lot of work and I'm worried about Collins fumbling a ball on his first drive and riding the pine for the rest of the game.Starting Collins over Gallman. Was a tough decision though. Here's to hoping he still runs away with the job.
I actually like both this week. I am definitely worried about that but if he doesn't fumble I really think he has his break out week.I'm still rolling with Gallman over Collins, even with the news that Darkwa is starting I think Gallman is going to get a lot of work and I'm worried about Collins fumbling a ball on his first drive and riding the pine for the rest of the game.
Is it a ppr league?I actually like both this week. I am definitely worried about that but if he doesn't fumble I really think he has his break out week.
This might be Giants trickery, but surprising nonetheless. The only thing I can think of is wanting to ease Gallman in since he's a rookie, but Darkwa starting is silly considering they didn't start him over Perkins.It's Darkwa with the "starter" label, apparently. Hard to predict, but I'd be careful with Gallman if I owned him.
Thx. I am considering them in ppr. No reason to think Collins can't be a ppr asset.Standard
Did the same, too much uncertaintyHad Gallman in all week, benching him for A. Jones right now.
How is “all Darkwa has done is produce when given opportunities?” Hes had 1 game with more than 3 carries & hebarely averaged 3 ypc?I'm a giants fan so I want gallman and Darkwa to do wel today. But I'm a Darkwa owner in fantasy so selfishly I hope he breaks out. I'm not sure why he Whole fantasy community was so off of Darkwa and so on gallman all week. All Darkwa has done this year is produce when given opportunities. The coaches stubbornly stuck with an ineffective Perkins at starter over him for 4 weeks. Maybe now it's darkwa's turn and the coaches want to see what he can do with 15+ carries if he starts out hot.
Either way I'll be happy I just want the run game to get going. So if it's gallman so be it!
