Falcons: RB Wayne Gallman's Week 10 usage due to quick turnaround

Nov 16, 2021

Falcons HC Arthur Smith basically said Wayne Gallman's Week 10 usage was due to the scoreboard and the quick turnaround to Thursday night.

“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."

Related players: Mike Davis, Cordarrelle Patterson

Fantasy Impact:

With Patterson possibly out in Week 11 against the Patriots on Thursday night, one can conclude from this maybe Davis is poised for a heavy workload. Any Falcon will be a be a risky fantasy start in a tough matchup against the Pats on a short week, though. Gallman carried 15 times for 55 yards, but those counting on Gallman for a significant workload may want to reconsider. Davis carried four times for 18 yards.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
