FanDuel Fantasy Points Per Game More DFS

Cowboys' Michael Gallup seeing increased slot work

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup "is enjoying his increased work in slot," Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News reports.

What It Means:

Gallup added, "Everybody labels me as just a ‘deep-ball threat,’ but I know I can do a whole lot more," when asked about his role in the slot. The Cowboys' didn't move their starting receivers around much in the 2020 season, with CeeDee Lamb mostly sticking to the slot and Gallup operating as them team's top 'X' receiver on the boundary.

Gallup has historically been a boom-or-bust fantasy option, at least partially because of the routes the Cowboys have asked him to run and their relative difficulty. Already one of the premier outside receivers in the league, Gallup could take a step forward for fantasy if he's given more layups while lined up in the slot. He's numberFire's WR37 for fantasy this season.
