• Vikings' Wayne Gallman: Claimed by Vikings

  12/13/2021 •

  The Vikings have claimed Gallman off waivers from the Falcons. The move follows the placement of fellow running back Alexander Mattison on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Gallman thus gives the Vikings added backfield depth behind top back Dalvin Cook. Also currently on the team's active roster is RB Kene Nwangwu, while A.J. Rose is on Minnesota's practice squad.

  Gallman (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. Gallman played five offensive snaps and had four carries for 19 yards last week against the Jaguars, but he'll be a healthy scratch for Sunday's contest. Qadree Ollison was elevated from the practice squad and is active in Gallman's place.

• Falcons' Wayne Gallman: Four touches in Week 12

  11/29/2021 •

  Gallman rushed four times for 19 yards during Sunday's 21-14 win over the Jaguars. Gallman has been a non-factor in back-to-back weeks after his season-high performance -- 17 touches for 76 total yards -- in Week 10. Despite being out-touched by Mike Davis 8-4, Gallman was still able to match his production with 19 total yards. However, Davis' involvement in the passing game likely still solidifies him as the No. 2 fantasy commodity in the Falcons' backfield, but neither Gallman or Davis appear to be viable options when Cordarrelle Patterson is healthy.

• Falcons' Wayne Gallman: Takes back seat in loss

  11/21/2021 •

  Gallman rushed one time for negative three yards during Thursday's 25-0 loss to the Patriots. After a season-high performance in Week 10, coach Arthur Smith made it clear that Gallman was still third on the depth chart at running back behind Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) and Mike Davis. However, Patterson was ruled out for the matchup with New England due to a sprained ankle, which elevated Gallman to the No. 2 spot. Nonetheless, he was still a nonfactor in the Falcons' Week 11 loss, and, surprisingly, Qadree Ollison led Atlanta's backfield with nine carries for 34 yards. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the backfield situation, but if Patterson is healthy moving forward, it's likely he will demand the majority of touches.
