No. 2: RB Wayne Gallman (NYG) $3,900 vs Philadelphia

There is a ton of value to be found in this Giants vs Eagles game. On the other side of the field from Nick Foles will be rookie running back Wayne Gallman. He is your best bet for a deep sleeper value play this week. Quietly, he has become the lead runner for the New York Giants over the past few weeks.

Like I said earlier, the Giants season is over. It is time for them to evaluate talent for 2018 and they started that with Gallman last week. Gallman hadn’t received many chances to show what he could do until last week under new interm head coach Steve Spagnuolo. He saw twelve carries last week and turned them into 59 yards.

The surprising thing to many watching him was how involved he was in the Giants passing game. Gallman saw nine targets and caught seven of them for forty more yards. That means that Gallman had nearly 100 yards from scrimmage last week, but yet is still near the bottom in price on DraftKings. That makes him the epitome of a value play this week against the Eagles.

There are only a few players on the Giants offense who are being watched and evaluated for next season. Gallman is clearly one of them. Spagnuolo made it a point of emphasis to get the rookie the ball and he did well with those opportunities last week. We should see even more carries for him in this one. That means more fantasy points for your daily fantasy football lineup in Week 15.
