Yes, a better qb rarely hurts a rb. And a better ol helps too.His situation has definitely improved: better OL and QB (hopefully), and a crappier D. At least that's what I told myself last night as I bid about 60% of my FAAB on him.
Desperate.
As a Barkley owner I am not excited about Gallman at all.
The Giants upcoming matchups are very tough vs RBS. Even Washington is much better against the run than the pass. I am still not convinced the Giants dont trade for or sign a RB who will end up in a committee with Gallman. Drake could end up here or perhaps Ajayi who is apparently ready to play now or maybe CJ Anderson.
I really wouldn't blow a lot of FA$ on him. Darrell Williams may be the sneaky better pickup here at a much lower cost. He looked really solid last week. McCoy is old is playing through a bum ankle and there is no real timetable for Damien Williams. Even when Damien is healthy he may lose his role to Darrell by then.

Very quiet in this thread.
I suspect like me, we're all still trying to process Gallman looking solid in this backfield.
Really didn't see this coming at all.

The Tape Tells All: Week 4 Breakdown of Wayne Gallman Jr.'s Performance
Seeing as how it looks like you'll get 3 more weeks of Gallman Jr. MAX, might as well post here since haven't been seeing comments in the Giants thread.
With Gallman Jr. his comps as a rookie were guys like Devonta Freeman; not tremendously athletic but tough runners. Giants have made him adjust his initial running style of jump-cuts before the LOS in favor of more acceleration to the hole and COD after he's through.

It's tough, but it's great to see Gallman being used as a receiver. Getting 4-5 catches keeps his floor at a nice level.

Dunno but after seeing Barkley running circles around everyone at practice, I guess we can go back to not caring. 4-8 week timeline and Saquon looks like nothing happened to him except he got a good night's sleep.

I think it would be a huge mistake for NY to bring him back so soon. I don't care how fast they think he heals, he's not playing at game speed and will be very likely to re-injure it.
Gallman is no Saquon but he's competent enough to give him another week off.

I have a feeling Gallman is going to take over and be a decent flex RB the rest of the season.

He missed a blitz pickup but managed to make something out of nothing on the dump off pass. He ran with energy and burst.

Stat Correction

With Freeman on the shelf, is anybody forced to trot Gallman out on Monday night? If so, what are your expectations against a very solid TB defense and possible negative game script?

Gotta start him due to bye weeks in one league. I’m expecting 12-31 and 8/64 or something dumb like that with a coin flip chance at a TD. Choosing to start him over Hasty and think it’s gonna work out fine in PPR but in an ugly bad-for-real-football way
Stat Correction

That's a very reasonable predictive line for Gallman, if not a bit optimistic on the receptions. However, for as incredibly stout as they have been on against the run, TB has given up some yardage to RB's out of the backfield. Just concerned that D. Lewis might be the biggest beneficiary.

With the bye this upcoming week 11, is Freeman out through week 12 or week 13? The NYG play Sea week 13 so I am curious. Gallman has been doing well.
The Frankman
Footballguy
Freeman is on IR, comes off Week 13. With how well Gallman and Morris are looking I think Freeman is headed towards being gameday inactive.

I keep starting other guys over Gallman thinking the TDs can’t last, and he keeps scoring these ####### TDs. I’m gonna start him next week and he’ll definitely not score!

I was long WRs so I just traded Brandin Cooks for Gallman. He seems to be taking over this backfield and the matchups get better after the bye.
Solid RB3 down the stretch?

I suddenly am curious now myself, Buck. I just snagged Gallman off the FA wire for an easy pickup looking for RB depth and now have to decide if I can afford to drop him (yes he is on a bye) or someone else to field a team with a kicker. I picked up K Ballage for a second RB play and dropped my kicker. My bench depth is solid and Gallman is one of perhaps 3 that I will have to drop to play a kicker. Wondering about his longer term outlook cuz he seems to have a burst and a nose for the endzone. Perhaps it's L Murray I have to drop instead as he's a handcuff to Kamara. I may wait until after the early NO game to see if Kamara comes away unscathed before I pick up a kicker. Other player is AB to consider dropping, but don't want to do that yet either. Other cannot drops include: Montgomery on a bye (although he's close lol), Diontae Johnson / Golladay, or Josh Allen.
The reality is I drop either Gallman, Murray, or AB and it's dwindling to Gallman and now most likely L Murray if Kamara is healthy after the 1:00 game. I am sure this is the kind of strategies that you all encounter some of the time.
Deduction: Inquiring into the Gallman long term prospect as a hold and potentially a solid play as an RB 2 / Flex or solid bench in case of injuries.

We just about literally have the same roster, GB. I picked up Ballage to start this week, I have AK41 and Lat Murray, even have Diontae Johnson too. Funny how that works out sometimes.
Looks like David Montgomery has some good matchups, but honestly I think Gallman vs Monty might be closer than you think. I may just be talking my book now that I have Gallman, but the Giants seem to be playing better of late, and Gallman seems to be the guy.
I can't tell you who to drop, but I guess I would figure out some kind of way to hold him. I'm very bullish.

I can't tell you that because I'm not a Giants' coach. I CAN show you every play he'd had this years thank to EastCoastTaffy on FF Reddit and YouTube.

I asked this upthread, but are we sure Freeman is back week 13 with the bye this week? Is IR 3 games or 3 weeks?
The Frankman
Footballguy
IR is 3 weeks. Freeman injured his hammy compensating for the ankle injury; it should be fine but a hammy tends to be a 3 week thing itself. If Wayne (and to an extent Alfred Morris) keep stacking performances like they have been I don't see him getting a job back though.
The Frankman
Footballguy
Gallman actually had more yardage but McCoy hung him out to dry multiple times and ate negative plays.

Picked him up around a month ago and have started him last 2-3 weeks. Has very quietly been a bit of a saviour to my team, so in he goes again today, just looking for a solid 10-15 fantasy points non ppr please ! Anything else over would be magnifique

Slight correction as he didn't get "committee'd"; it was the same rotation through 4 drives. However Giants went to a packaged they usually run with Morris and by the time 4th quarter rolled around they pretty much stuck with it.

Took over a dynasty team void of talent. Was able to scoop him up off waiver. Would really like to see this guy land somewhere where he'll be used.

Wayne Gallman is a good back, in my opinion. I've always been interested in seeing what Wayne Gallman can do. That said, Wayne Gallman is not likely to hold off Trey Sermon and Elijah Mitchell when those hounds begin to hunt. I think Shanahan is more playing punctilio with this and getting his preferred guy to earn it once Mostert goes down with the inevitable ding at his age.
Sermon and Mitchell are clearly the dynasty plays. Redraft gets a little murkier. Some folks like to have the lower ADP back because it presents more "value." But from highlights, I'm not as impressed with Mitchell as Sermon, and their corresponding programs and draft position further solidify this thought. Where to take Sermon? We'll see what ADP says around early-to-mid August, won't we?

Gallman is in SF? I'm not touching Sermon with a 40 ft pole. Gallman has turned into a quality starting Runningback. Gonna be hard time giving Sermon snaps over Gallman.
Gallman is a thrasher. No bad injury history, fresh legs. Could be the goalline back. Not as explosive as Mostert, but their stats (4.6 YPC vs Moster 5.0 are closer than one may think).

From an NFL perspective, teams saw Barkley go down and Gallman came in and averaged 4.6 YPC in his absence (career high). That's a guy I want in my RB corps and in a Shannahan offense, this guy will come in and look even better than he did in NY, imo.
Sleeper. No pass protection issues. Ready to go. 26 year old kid on a 1-year "prove it" deal. With Wilson going down, he's only going up against 1 guy who "knows the offense". Love it.

Might just be my opinion and that's all it is, I see the 4.6 YPC but to be honest I don't think he looked good last year. He got the job done. In my eyes, he's just a guy. I wouldn't be excited about him. I think he's the number two by default since the other guys are rookies behind him. But I think that'll change sooner rather than later.
