New York Giants running back Devin Singletary is firmly in the backup role as he was outpaced yet again by Tyrone Tracy Jr. in the disappointing Week 10 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Singletary registered eight carries for 40 yards and one reception for five yards on one target. His nine touches paled in comparison to Tracy's 19. Singletary was efficient with his carries, but if he continues to see this drastic drop in opportunities compared to the beginning of the year, then he's not much of a fantasy option. The Giants head into their bye week now at 2-8 with an eye towards the NFL Draft instead of the playoffs.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary handled two carries for 11 yards in the team's 26-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football. He added 12 yards on 2-of-3 receiving. Singletary was the clear second option for New York in this one, as rookie RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. has evidently seized control of the backfield. Tracy racked up 145 yards and a touchdown on his 20 carries, matching Singletary's reception and target total in what was an official changing of the guard for the Giants. Both backs looked good against one of the league's top defensive units, averaging more than 5.0 YPC a piece. Still, while the snap counts were closer than the box score indicates -- 41-to-28 in favor of the rookie -- Singletary's usage was way down on a per-play basis in comparison. With a home matchup against the Washington Commanders on tap in Week 9, the 27-year-old is nothing more than a handcuff -- unlikely to garner standalone value with Tracy leading the way.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary faces a daunting matchup in Week 8 on the road against the Steelers' elite run defense. Singletary has averaged 10.9 fantasy points per game this season with 239 rushing yards and two touchdowns, but his Week 7 return from injury yielded just 18 rushing yards and three receiving yards as he played second fiddle to Tyrone Tracy Jr. The Steelers' defense, ranked second in the NFL against the run and allowing only 81.1 rushing yards per game, has stifled opposing backs, giving up just three rushing touchdowns all season. With a limited share of backfield touches and Pittsburgh's eighth-best fantasy defense against RBs, Singletary faces long odds of breaking out in this matchup.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary struggled in his return during Sunday's 28-3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Singletary carried the ball five times for 18 yards, averaging 3.6 yards per carry, with his longest run going for 10 yards. He also caught one pass for three yards but failed to reach the end zone, finishing with a disappointing 2.6 fantasy points. Despite Singletary's return from injury, Tyrone Tracy Jr. led the Giants in carries, indicating Singletary's role may remain limited moving forward.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary (groin) will return on Sunday, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. However, Raanan noted that rookie standout Tyrone Tracy Jr. will continue to see significant playing time. Head coach Brian Daboll said "He's earned it. He's done a good job. So he'll get plenty of playing time." During Singletary's two-week absence, Tracy averaged 89.5 rushing yards per game with one score and an additional 58 total receiving yards. Fantasy managers should view both running backs as flex options this weekend, given their potential to limit each other's production. They will face the Philadelphia Eagles, who have allowed the 13th-fewest points to opposing running backs.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary (groin) was limited on Thursday in practice for the second straight day of the week. A groin injury has kept Singletary out for the last two weeks, but a return to a full practice on Friday could put him over the top to return this Sunday in a divisional matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. In Singletary's absence, rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. has been very impressive with 35 carries for 179 yards (5.11 yards per carry) and a touchdown while adding seven receptions for 58 yards. If Singletary is deemed ready to go this weekend, there's a good chance that he'll take a back seat to the electric rookie, making him a low-upside RB3/flex for fantasy managers. The 27-year-old has averaged a career-low 3.9 yards per carry on 56 totes in his first four games with the G-Men before getting hurt in Week 4 against the Dallas Cowboys.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary (groin) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Singletary continues to put in limited practices despite missing each of the last two weeks. More light will be shed on his status for the Week 7 game on Sunday against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles later this week. In the two games that Singletary has missed, rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. has taken advantage of the opportunity and has looked much better than Singletary. The fifth-round pick should now be rostered in the majority of fantasy leagues, especially if you also have Singletary. At the very least, Tracy deserves more run in New York's backfield, even after Singletary returns. Tracy has taken 35 carries for 179 yards (5.11 yards per tote) and a touchdown while catching seven passes for an additional 58 yards.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary (groin) has been ruled out for the Week 6 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Singletary will miss his second straight game after being limited in practice all week. His absence will mean that Tyrone Tracy Jr. will serve as the lead back once again. Last week, Tracy rushed 18 times for 129 yards in the win over the Seattle Seahawks. He figures to once again see heavy usage with the Giants being limited on viable options on offense. Fantasy managers should be able to trust Tracy as a RB2 for Week 6.
Oct 12, 2024 6:24 PM EST
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary (groin) is officially listed as questionable to play in the Week 6 game on Sunday night against the Cincinnati Bengals. Singletary missed the Week 5 win over the Seattle Seahawks and is looking like a game-time decision this weekend, which is bad news for fantasy managers hoping to use him in their starting lineups. If the 27-year-old is ultimately ruled out for the second straight week, fantasy managers would have to pivot without many options to choose from. Rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. filled in admirably last Sunday with Singletary out, going for 130 scrimmage yards on 19 total touches. With the G-Men's game on Sunday night, Singletary is shaping up as a RB to avoid, while Tracy would be a plug-and-play RB3/flex option if Singletary is eventually ruled out. Check back on Saturday to see which way Singletary is trending.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary (groin) is still dealing with his groin injury, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. Raanan further reported that head coach Brian Daboll said "we'll see" regarding his running back's status heading into the weekend. Fantasy managers should monitor Friday's injury report, as it should provide clarity on Singletary's status heading into the weekend. Last week in his absence, rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. ran for an impressive 129 yards on 18 carries. If Singletary were to remain sidelined, Tracy becomes a solid RB2 with upside against the Cincinnati Bengals, who have allowed the 19th-most points to opposing running backs this season.
Oct 11, 2024 12:37 PM EST
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary (groin) logged a limited session during Thursday's practice, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com. Singletary was also a limited participant in Wednesday's session. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to Friday's injury report, as it should provide clarity on his status heading into the weekend, but seeing him participate early in the week is a positive sign. Singletary did not suit up in last weekend's game due to a groin injury, which allowed rookie Tyrone Tracey Jr. to enjoy a breakout performance as he ran for 129 yards on 18 carries. If Singletary is able to suit up, he should be viewed as a high-floor RB2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. If not, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting Tracy back into their lineup for the second straight weekend.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com. Singletary was held out of action last weekend due to a groin injury. The veteran running back was able to log a limited session last Friday but was ultimately kept sidelined. However, seeing him log a limited session early in the week is a positive sign for his status for this weekend's game. In his absence, fifth-round rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. led the way last Sunday, totaling 129 yards on the ground in their victory over the Seattle Seahawks. If Singletary can suit up, he should be viewed as a high-floor RB2 facing the Cincinnati Bengals.
Oct 9, 2024 4:03 PM EST
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that running back Devin Singletary (groin) is trending in the right direction, and he will practice on Wednesday, likely in a limited capacity. Singletary suffered a groin injury in the Week 4 loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys and then was inactive for last week's win over the Seattle Seahawks. With Singletary sidelined in Week 5, rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. filled in and turned some heads with 18 carries for 129 rushing yards in the surprising upset in Seattle. Tracy's performance likely earned him some more run in the G-Men's backfield, even when Singletary is able to return, which could come this Sunday night against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals. In his first year in the Big Apple, Singletary has averaged a career-low 3.9 yards per carry while going for 221 yards and two rushing TDs on 56 attempts. He'll be in play as an RB3/flex if he plays in Week 6.
Oct 9, 2024 1:31 PM EST
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary (groin) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. He practiced in a limited capacity on Friday but ultimately entered this weekend listed as doubtful. The 27-year-old had produced 221 rushing yards, 72 receiving yards, and two touchdowns through four games this season. Rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. projects to be the Giants' top running back on Sunday, ranking as an RB3/FLEX in fantasy football. Eric Gray should also see increased opportunities out of the backfield, but he's only a relevant fantasy option in deep leagues.
Oct 6, 2024 3:38 PM EST
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary (groin) is currently listed as doubtful for the Week 5 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The good news is that Singletary returned to practice on Friday after sitting out the first two practices of the week. Sadly, it doesn't seem like it was too encouraging of a practice considering he's unlikely to suit up this weekend. His absence would likely mean that Tyrone Tracy Jr. would be in line to see extended run. Tracy has rushed for 29 yards on 12 attempts in his limited role this season. The Giants will likely see some type of committee role between Tracy and Eric Gray.
Oct 4, 2024 2:57 PM EST
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary (groin) will practice on Friday, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. This is a great sign as Singletary did not practice earlier this week. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status during Friday's practice as it should provide clarity on his availability for Sunday's game. Through his first four games as a New York Giant, the 27-year-old has logged at least 40 snaps in every game and has been deployed as a three-down back. He has seen double-digit rushing attempts in every game and received at least four targets in two out of the four games. If the former Buffalo Bill is able to suit up, he should be viewed as a low-end RB2. If not, rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. is worth considering as an upside flex option in deeper formats.
Oct 4, 2024 12:18 PM EST
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said running back Devin Singletary (groin) will miss a second straight practice this week on Thursday. Singletary said he has a chance to play in Week 5 on the road against the Seattle Seahawks, but two straight days of DNPs says otherwise right now. He is going to need to practice on Friday to give himself a real shot at playing this weekend. The Giants are expected to be without star rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) as well, so if Singletary cannot suit up, the G-Men will be missing two of their best offensive pieces. If Singletary does suit up this weekend, he should be considered a low-end RB2/high-end RB3/flex in fantasy against a Seahawks run defense that has been better so far in 2024. Rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. figures to see most of the backfield work for the Giants if Singletary is limited or ruled out entirely.
Oct 3, 2024 1:09 PM EST
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary (groin) sat out Wednesday's practice but said he has a chance to play in Week 5 against Seattle according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. The running back will look to get back on the practice field in the next few days even if in a limited fashion to put him on track for returning on Sunday. Singletary has 56 carries for 221 yards and two rushing touchdowns on the season and ranks as the RB24 in fantasy at 10.6 fantasy points per game. Tyrone Tracy, Jr., and Eric Gray would stand to benefit if Singletary does miss Week 5. If Singletary does play, he should be a solid RB2 against a Seattle defense, which ranks middle of the pack against the run.
Oct 3, 2024 9:27 AM EST
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary (groin) will not take part in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Singletary is on the injury report with a groin injury that isn't considered a long-term concern, but it could affect his availability for the Week 5 contest this Sunday in Seattle against the Seahawks. If the 27-year-old is limited or out this weekend, rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Eric Gray would both be asked to take on more in the backfield at Lumen Field. In his first year in the Big Apple, Singletary has been the RB23 in half-PPR scoring with 56 carries for 221 yards (career-low 3.9 yards per carry) and two touchdowns while adding 10 catches on 11 targets for 72 additional yards. Right now, Singletary is shaping up as a shaky RB2 option for fantasy managers against a Seahawks defense that has been much better at defending the run so far in 2024 than they were last year.
Oct 2, 2024 1:26 PM EST
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary had a quiet night in Thursday's 20-15 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, managing just 24 rushing yards on 14 carries for a lackluster 1.7 yards per attempt. Singletary's longest run of the evening went for just five yards, as he struggled to find running lanes against a tough Cowboys defense. He was also a non-factor in the passing game, catching just one pass for 14 yards and failing to score a touchdown. With such limited production, Singletary's fantasy outlook remains concerning, as his volume isn't translating into meaningful fantasy points heading into Week 5, especially against a strong Seattle Seahawks defense.
