Seahawks' Wayne Gallman: Won't play versus Kansas City
Rotowire
Gallman (coach's decision) has been ruled inactive ahead of Saturday's game against the Chiefs.
Gallman bounced around practice squads this season before rejoining Seattle's last Saturday. The 28-year-old was then elevated to the active roster Friday, but he will wind up watching Saturday's contest from the sideline after Kenneth Walker (ankle) and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) were both ruled active pregame. Gallman will now be eligible for two more elevations while on the Seahawks' practice squad this season.

Seahawks' Wayne Gallman: Chance to make season debut
Rotowire
Seattle elevated Gallman to the active roster from the practice squad Friday ahead of Saturday's game against Kansas City, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Gallman will have a chance to make his 2022 debut after being elevated to Seattle's active roster for the first time this season. Kenneth Walker (ankle) and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) are both listed as questionable but on track to play, so Gallman figures to garner a depth role and may play primarily on special teams.

Wayne Gallman: Lands in Seattle
Rotowire
Gallman signed with the Seahawks' practice squad Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Gallman spent time on the Chiefs' practice squad previously this season, but he never worked his way to the active roster. With Tony Jones the only running back on Seattle's active roster not currently questionable for Sunday against the Panthers, Gallman could be an emergency option to be elevated and suit up Week 14.

Wayne Gallman: Joins Chiefs' practice squad
Rotowire
Kansas City signed Gallman to its practice squad Wednesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Gallman has yet to see game action in 2022 after accumulating 125 all-purpose yards on 29 touches in 2021. As long as Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon remain healthy, Gallman probably won't be elevated to the active roster.

Vikings' Wayne Gallman: Claimed by Vikings
Rotowire
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.

Falcons' Wayne Gallman: Healthy scratch Week 13
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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.

Falcons' Wayne Gallman: Remains third on depth chart
Rotowire
Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said that Gallman remains third on the depth chart at running back behind Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) and Mike Davis, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Smith went on to say that Gallman's season-high 52 percent snap share and season-high 15 carries in last week's 43-3 loss to the Cowboys was mostly a byproduct of a blowout, in addition to the fact that the Falcons faced a quick turnaround for Week 11 with a Thursday night game versus New England. With 23 snaps, Gallman outpaced both Patterson (15) and Davis (20), but Gallman won't be a lock to lead the way for the Atlanta backfield even if Patterson -- who is listed as questionable for Thursday's game -- ends up sitting. Prior to last week, both Patterson and Davis had consistently worked ahead of Gallman, and if Smith is to be believed, the pecking order among the backs won't change Week 11. That being said, a Patterson absence Thursday would still open up more opportunities for Gallman than usual, even if Davis is the likelier candidate of the two to pick up the start.

Falcons' Wayne Gallman: Team-high 55 rushing yards
Rotowire
Gallman rushed 15 times for 55 yards and caught one of two targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 43-3 loss to the Cowboys.
After being a healthy scratch in back-to-back contests, Gallman paced Atlanta's backfield during the blowout loss to Dallas on Sunday. The increased role likely was due to the game being out of reach, but it's certainly worth monitoring, as Mike Davis' production has been significantly reduced since Atlanta's Week 6 bye. If Gallman can overtake Davis on the depth chart, he would be worthy of consideration in deeper leagues due to Matt Ryan's usage of running backs in the passing game. However, Cordarrelle Patterson's versatility will keep him solidified as the No. 1 fantasy option among Falcons running backs.

Falcons' Wayne Gallman: Sidelined again Sunday
Rotowire
Gallman (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Giants in New York, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.
Gallman has opened his tenure with the Falcons as a healthy scratch in each of the team's first three games of the campaign. Coach Arthur Smith seems comfortable entrusting Mike Davis and Cordarrelle Patterson with the majority of the backfield reps, which could mean Gallman needs an injury to one of the two to get on the field.

Falcons' Wayne Gallman: Healthy scratch again
Rotowire
Gallman (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 2 divisional matchup against the Buccaneers.
The journeyman back will be a healthy scratch for the second time in as many games to open the season. Mike Davis and Cordarrelle Patterson once again should handle the bulk of backfield work for Atlanta against a notoriously stingy Buccaneers run defense.
