At this point, it is still interesting that Wayne Gallman is considered a sleeper and that his roster percentages are so low. Of course, his stock is soaring, so those numbers can change fast. So, if he is available in your league, it would be hard to pass him up.
Why? Gallman has been in and out of the lineup for the Giants throughout his four-year career. Before, he saw his role lessen due to star Saquon Barkley being so involved as an every-down running back. Since Barkley’s injury, Gallman’s role has become much larger.
Even after Barkley went down injured, Gallman had to wait a bit as the team gave free agent Devonta Freeman a chance. Like Barkley, he, unfortunately, landed on the sidelines with an injury too.
Therefore, the featured running back duties have fallen on the shoulders of Gallman, and he has been rather effective.
Since Week 7, Gallman has scored at least one touchdown in each game he has played in, which comes out to four consecutive games with a score. His yardage totals have not been eye popping, but the touchdowns are the most important part to you as a fantasy general manager. In the team’s last game, he scored two in a win against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Gallman has totaled 199 rushing yards and five touchdowns in his last four games. Coming out of the bye, the Giants will play the Cincinnati Bengals on the road. This looks like another favorable matchup for Gallman.
The Giants do not score a lot of touchdowns. Although, the next matchup is against a team that has given up a fair amount of points. Also, when the Giants do get into the redzone, offensive coordinator Jason Garrett appears to love to keep it on the ground.

Touchdown potential is the key, and Gallman has that this week against the Bengals.
