FLEX Option: Wayne Gallman $5,700

There’s a lot of intrigue with this Bengals-Giants matchup. Joe Burrow is out for the season, so the offense has to change on a dime. Ryan Finley is going to take over as the starter. Other backup quarterbacks have done well in the past, and a wide receiving trio of A.J. Green, Tyler Boyd, and Tee Higgins make his life a lot easier.

Still, this should be a game that the Giants control. They will do that with the running game. Wayne Gallman has been good as of late, scoring two touchdowns against the Eagles in Week 10. The Bengals are downright atrocious against the run. The Washington Football Team got 165 yards against the Bengals last week. That production is available for Gallman.

Gallman has four-straight double-digit point performances. The coaching staff is finally giving him the opportunities to excel after realizing Devonta Freeman and Dion Lewis had nothing left. Gallman will never supplant Saquon Barkley, but it’s nice to know the Giants have a serviceable running back in case he goes down again.

Gallman is a starting running back that players are getting for a backup price. He’s got a magical matchup that could see him posting season highs. This pick is a no brainer, but because it’s buried deep among running backs, many players might miss it entirely.

Other Options: Frank Gore $5,200, Jerick McKinnon $5,700
