WAYNE GALLMAN NEWS

Leading rusher in loss Gallman carried the ball six times for 45 yards in Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Rams.

Impact While Devonta Freeman led the Giants' backfield with 11 carries, it was Gallman who delivered the most rushing yards with his touches (tying quarterback Daniel Jones), although he wasn't a factor as a receiver. With the team's backfield likely to remain a committee it's unlikely any of Freeman, Gallman or Dion Lewis will see a big workload in Week 5, but all three will have a chance to be productive against a Cowboys defense that just got torn apart for 307 rushing yards and three TDs by a Browns ground game that was without Nick Chubb (knee) for most of the afternoon.

QB Jones leads Giants' running game without injured Saquon

Quarterback Daniel Jones has been the New York Giants’ running game this season, even before star halfback Saquon Barkley was lost for the season with a knee injury

Meager output vs 49ers Gallman had four carries for seven yards and two catches for seven yards on three targets against the 49ers on Sunday.

Impact He was part of a three-man committee with Devonta Freeman and Dion Lewis, and like the other two, did next to nothing. Gallman's ceiling is low, and his floor would be getting released from the roster at any point once Freeman is comfortable in the offense.

May get first post-Barkley start Gallman lined up with the Giants' first-team offense during warmups, indicating he may be the team's starting running back Sunday versus the 49ers, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com report...

Impact In the wake of Saquon Barkley's season-ending torn ACL, the Giants backfield likely will be a committee for the foreseeable future, but it appears Gallman will get the first chance to take the first snap between him, Dion Lewis and newcomer Devonta Freeman. Clearly, Freeman has the most visible resume among the trio, but after just five days with the team, he doesn't seem likely to be a huge part of the game plan. That leaves Gallman and Lewis to vie for early-down and pass-catching reps, meaning the more well-rounded Lewis could earn more touches, even if Gallman gets the start.

Drops back to No. 3 role Gallman is slated to be the No. 3 RB after the Giants signed Devonta Freeman on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Gallman's fantasy outlook was brighter for a moment following news that Saquon Barkley (torn ACL) was done for the season, but the addition of Freeman likely means he'll be the third option in the backfield. Freeman will likely be the clear lead back eventually, and incumbent Dion Lewis is a better pass catcher than Gallman, whose upside is limited as a result.

Should see more work With Saquon Barkley out for the year, Gallman is in line to split duties with Dion Lewis.

Impact Gallman was a healthy scratch in Week 2, but he should get his chance in Week 3 against the 49ers. Keep in mind the Giants still could sign someone like Devonta Freeman, Lewis will be involved, especially on passing downs, and the offensive line has been bad early on.

Surprise scratch for Week 2 Gallman (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Bears, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.

Impact The Clemson product only saw the field for three offensive snaps Week 1, but now he's been relegated from the active roster entirely, as Dion Lewis continues to slot in as the backup running back behind Saquon Barkley. Gallman registered 145 offensive touches as a rookie in 2017, but his offensive role has steadily treaded downward in the two-plus seasons since.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

One touch in opener Gallman didn't get a carry and caught his lone target for 14 yards in Monday's 26-16 loss to the Steelers.

Impact There wasn't much work to go around behind bell cow Saquon Barkley, as Dion Lewis had just one carry and one target. Gallman's unlikely to gain fantasy relevance unless something happens to Barkley, and even then, he'll be stuck behind a Giants offensive line that cleared zero holes for Saquon in this one (six yards on 15 carries).

SEPTEMBER 16, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Could win backup job Gallman has turned in a solid training camp and is the favorite to win the early down backup job behind Saquon Barkley, Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com reports.

Impact Dion Lewis is still around as the team's reserve pass catcher, but Gallman would likely split carries with him in the event anything happens to Barkley. Both Gallman and Lewis will largely remain off the fantasy radar unless Barkley misses time.
