Wayne Gallman A Risky RB2 In Week 17

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman has been disappointing down the stretch but will look to finish the season strong versus Dallas.

Giants Defense Has Rough Day In Baltimore

The New York Giants Defense had a rough afternoon in Baltimore, allowing 27 points to the Ravens.
