RB Wayne Gallman, ATL (2 Viewers)
- Thread starter Borden
- Start date
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.

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.

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.

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:
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.
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.

Yah, if you have depth but need to improve your competitiveness I could see moving Thompson...it just sounds whack. But I don't know your roster, etc...

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.

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.
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
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.

Starting over cohen. It's close but I think nyg scores more points and I don't like Cohen with a rookie QB making his first start vs a good def. Bears also seem committed to still using cunningham in some passing situations.
Like gallman alot in this matchup

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.
Don't forget he falls forward too!
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.

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.

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.

Confused. What's the boom? That Darkwa & Gallman will split carries? Because that's what your link said.
Again, I'm starting Gallman & hoping he gets the majority of the work, but nothing definitive is out there that says this will happen.

As a Giants fan I've heard the Darkwa noise before, coaching staff hasn't committed to him for months when he was clearly better than Perkins. I find hard to believe Darkwa will get more carries, Gallman will get the first crack at establishing a greater opportunity share, and against Chargers Run D that's what you want.
I'm more worried about this:
Run left all day Giants.
I'm more worried about this:
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.
Run left all day Giants.

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.

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.

It's Darkwa with the "starter" label, apparently. Hard to predict, but I'd be careful with Gallman if I owned him.

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.

Shaping up to be a 8-12 touches and about 40 total yards with slight chance of a TD situation. Could be worse for a bye week fill-in in larger leagues.
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!

How is “all Darkwa has done is produce when given opportunities?” Hes had 1 game with more than 3 carries & hebarely averaged 3 ypc?
