New York Giants running back Devin Singletary could be in line for an expanded role in Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons with starter Tyrone Tracy Jr. questionable due to an ankle injury. Singletary has been a steady, if unspectacular, contributor this season with 382 rushing yards, 4 touchdowns, and a 3.9 YPC average, earning 6.93 fantasy points per game. While the Falcons' run defense ranks 13th in yards allowed (116.7 per game) and has given up only seven rushing TDs all season, they've tightened up lately, ranking 6th in fewest RB fantasy points allowed over the past four weeks. Singletary's volume could make him a viable flex play, but his lack of explosiveness and Atlanta's improving defense temper expectations.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary made the most of his limited opportunities in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Singletary carried the ball eight times for 25 yards, averaging 3.1 yards per carry, and punched in a goal-line touchdown to highlight his performance. He also contributed in the passing game with three receptions for 16 yards, bringing his total touches to 11, equal to teammate Tyrone Tracy Jr. However, Singletary proved more effective, securing the team's only rushing touchdown and outpacing Tracy in the receiving game with three catches to Tracy's one.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary had a season-low two touches for eight yards in the Week 14 loss to the New Orleans Saints and should not be in any starting fantasy lineups for a Week 15 tilt against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens defense has given up lots of big plays in 2024, although they've been more stout against the run and are allowing only 17.8 half-PPR points to RBs per week, which ranks as the seventh-fewest in the NFL. The 27-year-old Singletary just hasn't had any standalone fantasy value since rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. took over the lead role in New York's backfield earlier this year. Singletary hasn't seen double-digit carries since Week 4 and has a combined 33 rushing attempts for 136 yards (4.12 yards per tote) and only one touchdown in seven games since Week 7. At best, he's a handcuff option for Tracy and should be left on benches in Week 15.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary was almost non-existent during the 14-11 loss to the New Orleans Saints. He's firmly behind Tyrone Tracy Jr. and didn't even receive as many chances to run the ball as Drew Lock. Singletary finished with two carries for eight yards and didn't register any targets or receptions. With the Giants looking more towards the NFL Draft, Singletary and company won't be very reliable for the fantasy playoffs. They take on the stout run defense of the Baltimore Ravens in Week 15.
Dec 9, 2024 10:04 AM EST
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary remains an unreliable fantasy option for Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints. On one hand, Singletary did draw the start last week, getting a potentially expanded role after Tyrone Tracy Jr. had fumbled three times over the two previous games. However, Tracy ended up handling the bulk of the backfield work as Singletary finished with just seven carries for 23 yards. The 27-year-old has tallied a career-low 4.01 yards per carry this year and remains the Giants' No. 2 option out of the backfield heading into Sunday's contest. Even against a Saints defense struggling to defend the run, Singletary is not a trustworthy fantasy option. He can be benched in all leagues with 14 or fewer teams.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary had a quiet outing in Thursday's 27-20 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, offering limited fantasy production. He logged seven carries for 23 yards, averaging 3.3 yards per attempt, with a longest run of 7 yards. While Singletary failed to make an impact in the passing game and did not score, his seven carries were notable as they nearly matched team leader Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s nine carries. Despite the increased workload, his 2.3 fantasy points left much to be desired for managers. Singletary's usage remains something to monitor.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary scored the team's lone touchdown in a 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers despite an otherwise quiet performance with just two carries for three rushing yards and two catches for seven receiving yards. Singletary's four total touches, producing only 10 yards, highlight his limited role in the offense behind starter Tyrone Tracy Jr. The Giants trailed 23-0 at halftime, amassing a paltry 45 yards of offense through two quarters, leaving Singletary with few opportunities to contribute. While his late touchdown salvaged eight fantasy points, his low volume and Tracy's clear lead in the backfield make Singletary not a fantasy option in the near future.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary could produce solid flex value this weekend facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Since returning from a groin injury, the veteran running back has slowly been eased into action but has continued to see an uptick in carries in each contest. Even though rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. has shown flashes of high potential, he surrendered a costly fumble in their most recent loss to the Carolina Panthers, which may cause Singletary to return to his "1A" role in the backfield. Earlier in the season, when the veteran was in the lead role, he averaged an impressive 15.5 PPR points through the first three weeks of the season. Facing a weak Tampa Bay defense that has allowed the fifth-most PPR points to opposing RBs this season could open the door for a solid bounce-back showing for Singletary.

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.
Oct 26, 2024 9:24 PM EST
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.
Oct 20, 2024 9:18 PM EST
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.
Oct 18, 2024 12:54 PM EST
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.
Oct 17, 2024 10:03 PM EST
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.
