Giants' Wayne Gallman gains 60 yards with touchdown
New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman rushed 12 times for 44 yards and 1 touchdown, and caught an 18-yard pass, in a 25-23, Week 8 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night.
What It Means:
Gallman was the Giants' lead back with Devonta Freeman (ankle) out, but Alfred Morris sapped away 8 carries and 21 snaps while Dion Lewis drew 3 targets on the same snap share. Gallman has now cleared 50 yards and scored in back-to-back weeks. He will be the favorite to lead the Giants' backfield in touches again in Week 9 against the Washington Football Team if Freeman remains sidelined.
Gallman scored 12.7 FanDuel points on Monday and is averaging 13.3 over the past two weeks as the Giants' lead back. He is first on the Giants and 19th out of 60 running backs with at least 35 carries this season in yards gained after contact per rush attempt (3.1). The Football Team's rush defense is 6th in numberFire's advanced team rankings.
