3 years agoFree-agent running back
Wayne Gallman had a workout with the Baltimore Ravens on Monday. The organization also had
Corey Clement workout for the team. They eventually decided to sign Clement to a deal. He's expected to serve as depth in the crowded Ravens backfield. The fact that the Ravens signed Clement means that they will likely won't pursue Gallman. The 27-year-old had a limited role in the Atlanta Falcons backfield last season. Before that, Gallman saw success with the New York Giants during the 2020 campaign. Possibly, Gallman gets a chance with another organization before the season begins. Regardless, it's unlikely that Gallman or Clement will make an impact in fantasy football.

Alexander Mattison has been placed on the COVID-19 list. That means,
Kene Nwangwu is the only available back behind
Dalvin Cook. That being said, the Vikings decided to claim
Wayne Gallman off waivers from the Atlanta Falcons. This season, Gallman has 104 yards on 28 attempts, so there's not a ton of upside here. Fantasy managers should expect Cook to carry a bigger workload in Week 15. Gallman might see a few carries if active, but he's not worth rostering.

3 years agoAtlanta Falcons running back
Wayne Gallman is a healthy scratch in Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Gallman will be the odd-man out with
Qadree Ollison coming up once again from the practice squad to join the active roster. He's been mostly the third running back in 2021 behind
Cordarrelle Patterson and
Mike Davis, carrying the ball only 28 times for 104 yards (3.7 yards per carry) while catching one pass for 21 yards in six games played. Ollison was featured as Atlanta's primary back two weeks ago in the blowout loss to the New England Patriots, but that occurred with Patterson sitting out due to an ankle injury. Ollison could see some work against the Buccaneers top-ranked rush defense, but it'll likely come at the expense of Davis.

3 years agoAtlanta Falcons running back
Wayne Gallman, who remains the team's No. 3 back behind
Cordarrelle Patterson and
Mike Davis, saw a season-high 15 carries in the Week 10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys and had a team-high 55 yards. However, that was by design with a short week coming up. "We know we have to play Thursday, so that's why you saw a heavy dose of (backup quarterback Josh) Rosen and Gallman and the other guys," head coach Arthur Smith said. With that said, Gallman could see another big workload against the New England Patriots on Thursday night if Patterson (ankle) is unable to play. But even if Patterson is inactive, Gallman will likely play behind Davis and will be a low-upside RB4/flex in much deeper leagues.
