TennisMenace 156 Posted October 8, 2017 Heck, most ff'ers would choose Collins over Gallman, not much of an argument there except if Collins, who is best known for being a fumbler, loses another fumble, will be once again irrelevant. Thing is, Collins was already taken in 3 of my 4 leagues before last week. I was able to snag Gallman in 2 leagues this week without losing my waiver priority. I was pretty happy to get an RB off the ww who has a chance for 15+ touches this week. He'll probably stink it up...................maybe he won't. But, I digress... Yeah I guess Collins appears to be sexier than Gallman but like you said, one fumble and say goodbye to Collins. I think Gallman can at least play the entire game barring injury.

Challenger 72 Posted October 8, 2017 Expectation is Wayne Gallman + Orleans Darkwa will split carries. https://twitter.com/JordanRaanan/status/917045583923306496 I hate to burst your bubble. But I would rank Jones > Collins > Gallman base on upside. Do you really want someone with 10 points as their ceiling, you might as well pick up a WR3 from WW.

SigEp316 0 Posted October 8, 2017 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.

nobody 2,031 Posted October 8, 2017 The fact of the matter is mcadoo is a terrible coach and has no idea how to run the ball. The giants backfield will be a wasteland as long as he's there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BuschWack 56 Posted October 8, 2017 Darkwa. So much for giving Gallman his chance... The Giants Coaches get my nomination for the Week 5 FU award. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BufordT 371 Posted October 8, 2017 Yup...and Darkwa is on his way to career game. Oh well, hopefully I can eek a win or two this week and find another scrub next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BufordT 371 Posted October 8, 2017 2 drops for Darkwa get Gallman in there gosh dammit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maulers1973 117 Posted October 9, 2017 Gallman ended up with a decent day. I wish I'd had the stones to pick up A. Jones of GB. Though, I kept reading reports that said Ty had a chance to play and J Williams was going to play. I couldn't pick up a guy that might end up being 3rd option in the backfield. Turns out those reports were bunk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PATSSOX 22 Posted October 13, 2017 So no one picked Darkwa here? Darkwa was the one who started and had 8 rushes for 69 and TD last week before hurting his calf. Thats when Gallman got his chance. CBS lists him atop depth chart but nfl.com still has RB Paul Perkins Shane Vereen Orleans Darkwa Wayne Gallman Darkwa was taken off the injury report so he will probably start again. So why is no one talking about the guy who will probably start? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So why is no one talking about the guy who will probably start? it's a good question to ask, but my take is that Darkwa is a career underperformer who's stats got potentially inflated because he was playing against SD's bad rush defense, but now going against Den this week, Sea next week, and then on a bye. You can't feel good about using him in any of these weeks. Couple that with the fact of byes and injuries make benches already thin. Since bench spots are thin right now and I can't see myself using Darkwa or Gallman in any of these next 3 weeks, I'd rather use a bench spot on guys with more long term upside like Breida, Mack, Perine, McFadden, Morris, Corey Davis, etc. If you have to start someone this week though, I guess you may have to roll with Darkwa, but you shouldn't feel good about it. I would have hoped you picked up Perine instead when that news broke yesterday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maulers1973 117 Posted October 13, 2017 I belied they're going to use Vereen in the slot. Shepard and Lewis will be on the outside. Thus, Gallman should get most of the work on passing downs. I also see game script requiring them to pass a lot since they should be down to the Broncos by 2 or more scores for most of the game. I'm rolling with Gallman. Though, as others have said, McAdoo is a total poo as a HC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would have hoped you picked up Perine instead when that news broke yesterday. Im struggling for RB's and just putting Darkwa on my bench right now. Im done with Perine i had him earlier and after watching him on Sunday or Monday Night what ever that game was a few weeks ago i dont want any part of him. But probably wrong but him running strait ahead into back of his linemen all night was not very encouraging. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or is Corey Davis available? I think he's going to have a very good 2nd half when he comes back, so perhaps use a bench spot on him now and then if/when he goes off, trade him or a different WR for a better RB upgrade. That's what I would do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
