Devin Singletary Returning to Backup Role in Week 10
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary was inefficient in his first start of the 2026 season in Week 9. With second-year back Cam Skattebo (hamstring) inactive and Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hamstring) on injured reserve, Singletary had 21 carries and two receptions but managed just 39 scrimmage yards and no touchdowns in the 19-11 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. While Singletary had the opportunity to carve out a significant role in this Giants offense, his 1.5 yards-per-carry average in Week 9 didn't solidify his standing in the backfield, with Skattebo expected to play on Thursday. The Giants also face a Washington Commanders defense that has allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. As he returns to his backup role, Singletary is not startable in any formats against a tough matchup in Week 10.

Devin Singletary an Intriguing Week 9 Streamer with Potential for Stable Role
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary has emerged as an intriguing streaming option for Week 9 against the Philadelphia Eagles, and he has the potential to carve out standalone value over the rest of the season. The Giants recently released Najee Harris and lost Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hamstring) to injured reserve, leaving Singletary in the No. 2 running back role. Now, Cam Skattebo (hamstring) is doubtful for Week 9, putting Singletary in line to earn the start. He could feast in a high-volume role against a banged-up Eagles squad, so there's a realistic opportunity for him to finish this week as an RB2 in fantasy football. However, his upside spans beyond this week. The Giants have reportedly been exploring the trade market for a running back, but if they don't bolster their backfield ahead of the trade deadline, Singletary would be solidified as the No. 2 ball-carrier for the rest of the season. Skattebo has yet to prove he can be an every-down back, so there's an opportunity for Singletary to carve out standalone value as a low-end RB3/flex week after week. The 29-year-old should be a priority addition for fantasy managers; not only should he earn the start this week, but he could be a solid lineup option in 12+ team leagues for the rest of the season.

Devin Singletary Set for Heavy Workload Against Eagles
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary is set for a heavy workload in Week 9 against the Philadelphia Eagles. In four games, Singletary has just 18 carries for 80 yards and a touchdown, along with eight receptions for 55 yards and a touchdown. While his numbers are lackluster, with Cam Skattebo (hamstring) doubtful and Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hamstring) on injured reserve, Singletary is set to take on the bulk of the workload in Week 9. He faces an Eagles defense that has allowed the second-most rushing yards to running backs this season. The Giants are also three-point favorites, and with the Eagles' offense dealing with several injuries, they could lean on their running game if they have a lead. Despite his lack of production this season, fantasy managers can start Singletary as a low-end RB2 or FLEX play in Week 9.

Devin Singletary A Smart Waiver Wire Snag
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary is a very interesting option from the waiver wire as his team returns from the bye week for a road matchup against the Eagles. Singletary is coming off his best game of the season and could be in position for a much larger role for Big Blue in the next few weeks. Singletary had his best fantasy game of the season in Week 7, scoring his first touchdown of the year and running for 41 yards on five carries while adding three catches for 14 receiving yards. Coming out of that game and a Week 8 bye, Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hamstring) was placed on IR, and Cam Skattebo (hamstring) is day-to-day and could end up being a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Eagles, according to coach John Harbaugh. Singletary could be the last running back standing if Skattebo is sidelined, but even if Skattebo plays through the issue, Singletary seems set for a large enough role in the next few weeks to be an excellent addition from the Week 9 waiver wire.

Injuries in Giants Backfield Could Mean More Work for Devin Singletary
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary racked up 55 yards and the game-winning touchdown in the team's Week 7 overtime upset of the Houston Texans, and although the hamstring injuries suffered by Cam Skattebo (hamstring) and Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hamstring) are not believed to be overly serious, should either miss time after a Week 8 bye, Singletary would make for one of the better waiver stashes of the week. One week after being held without a touch, Skattebo led the team with 124 yards on 17 carries, but he pulled up on a 42-yard overtime run, clearing the way for Singletary's late-game heroics. Unfortunately, with the Giants on bye, little information will be made available, making Singletary more of a luxury stash than an immediate difference-maker.

Devin Singletary Not a Starting Option Against Texans
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary had four carries for 14 yards and added 19 yards on one reception in the 34-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints. After being a healthy scratch in Weeks 3-5, Singletary was active and led the team in snaps in Week 6. The Giants benched Cam Skattebo due to fumbling issues, which led to both Singletary and Tyrone Tracy Jr. receiving more work, alongside Najee Harris, who was released earlier in the week. However, the Giants face the Houston Texans' defense, which has allowed the fewest rushing yards and the third-lowest yards per carry this season. Skattebo and Tracy are both expected to share the backfield with Singletary, and given Houston's tough matchup, Singletary isn't a starting option this week.

Devin Singletary Suddenly Interesting in Giants RB Committee
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary had nine carries for 25 yards in the first two games of the 2026 season, but he did not resurface again until the Week 6 loss on Sunday to the New Orleans Saints. Cam Skattebo played only six offensive snaps and did not have a single rushing attempt on the day, with Singletary carrying the ball four times for 14 yards and catching his only target for a 19-yard gain. The 29-year-old obviously has not done much in New York's backfield through six weeks, but he is much more interesting as a cheap waiver-wire claim in deeper fantasy leagues with Skattebo potentially in the doghouse and after veteran Najee Harris was cut by the team on Tuesday. Singletary might be the RB3 for the G-Men behind Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr., but he is definitely in a better position to see weekly opportunities with Harris out of the picture going into the team's Week 7 matchup against the Houston Texans this Sunday. In his first two years in the Big Apple with the Giants in 2024 and 2025, Singletary averaged 3.8 yards per carry and had nine rushing scores and 874 yards on the ground in 32 games played (six starts), adding 39 catches for 270 yards as a pass-catcher.

Devin Singletary a Healthy Scratch Against Titans
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans, according to Dan Salomone. Singletary had been involved in the backfield through the first two games, but his role was already shrinking. He has nine carries for 25 yards and four catches for 22 yards and a touchdown on the season, with only three rushing attempts coming in last week's loss to the Rams. Cam Skattebo sits atop the Giants' backfield, while Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Najee Harris are both active and available behind him. Leaving Singletary off the gameday roster despite being healthy is another sign that he has slipped down the pecking order in New York. There wasn't much fantasy value left to begin with, and Singletary can be left on waiver wires in most formats unless his role changes.

Devin Singletary Could Benefit from Expected Rough Conditions in Week 3
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary could see a larger workload in Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans. Through two games, Singletary has nine carries for 25 yards and four receptions for 22 yards and a touchdown. Playing behind starting back Cam Skattebo, Singletary has carved out a role in the passing game and on third downs. With starting quarterback Jaxson Dart (knee) set to miss the rest of the season, the Giants could lean more on the run game as they try to limit turnovers by Jameis Winston. The Titans rank in the bottom half against the run in 2025, and heavy rain and wind are expected on Sunday, which could give Singletary a solid workload in Week 3. While he's not a starting option with Skattebo leading, Singletary could have a productive outing in wet, windy conditions this week.

Devin Singletary's Week 1 Role Did Not Hold
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary saw his role shrink quickly in Week 2. After getting 10 touches and scoring on a reception in the opener, he finished Monday's loss to the Rams with three carries for nine yards and no catches. Cam Skattebo handled 12 carries, Najee Harris got four in his season debut, and Tyrone Tracy Jr. is still part of a crowded depth chart behind Skattebo. There is no clean No. 2 job here for Singletary to lean on. His Week 1 receiving work at least showed one way he can stay involved, but fantasy managers should not chase that touchdown after what happened Monday night. RotoBaller's September 23 mid-week waiver rankings have Singletary 50th overall and recommend him only in 14-team leagues. That feels like the right range. He can be held in deeper formats, but 10- and 12-team managers should have better uses for the roster spot.

Devin Singletary Emerges as the a Deep League Option
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary took over as the primary backup behind Cam Skattebo after Tyrone Tracy Jr. lost a fumble on one of his two carries. Singletary got 16 rushing yards on six carries and found the end zone while catching all four of his targets for 22 receiving yards. Singletary played 36% of the team's snaps, while Tracy played just two snaps, and Najee Harris was a healthy scratch. While Harris could get some short-yardage work as the season goes on, Singletary has value as the team's primary receiving option out of the backfield and the backup behind Skattebo. If you need RB help in a deep league, especially in PPR formats, Singletary has enough upside to be an option to consider from the waiver wire before Week 2.

Devin Singletary Still Without a Clear Role in Giants Backfield
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary made the 53-man roster, but his fantasy value still took a hit heading into Week 1. The Giants kept four running backs, and their current depth chart has Cam Skattebo first with Tyrone Tracy Jr., Najee Harris and Singletary all behind him. Harris was only added in August, which made an already crowded room even harder to sort out. Singletary did have some decent preseason moments, including 40 yards and a touchdown on eight carries against Miami, but there is still no clear path to steady touches. He handled 119 carries for 437 yards and five touchdowns last season, adding 18 catches for 151 yards. That was useful depth work, not enough to force the Giants into carving out a role now that Skattebo is back atop the depth chart and Harris is in the mix. RotoBaller has Singletary at RB81 entering the season. Making the roster keeps him relevant, but fantasy managers can leave him on waivers until this backfield gives us something more concrete.

Devin Singletary Starts Ahead of Tyrone Tracy Against Dolphins
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary carried the ball eight times for 40 yards and added four yards on one reception in the 26-3 preseason victory over the Miami Dolphins. Singletary played every snap on the team's opening drive, while projected backup running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. spent time on special teams and rotated after the first drive. The Giants signed veteran running back Najee Harris to a one-year contract, forming a committee led by Cam Skattebo. With Tracy fumbling in scoring position, his standing with the team could be at risk, which could be good news for Singletary. While Harris will need time to get back into football shape, Singletary could have a prominent role alongside Skattebo early in the season. Fantasy managers should monitor this backfield, as the Giants' offense is projected to be among the NFL's most run-heavy this season.

Will Devin Singletary Hold a Role in a Healthy Giants Backfield?
A somewhat forgotten man of the 2026 offseason, New York Giants running back Devin Singletary agreed to restructure the final year of the contract he signed in 2024, and he appears to have fallen down the depth chart after joining the team as the free agent replacement for Saquon Barkley. As the only Giants running back to play all 17 games in 2025, Singletary's five rushing touchdowns helped to keep him at least fantasy viable while covering up for his poor efficiency and 3.7 yards per carry average. He finished the year in a usable timeshare situation, seeing 24.9 snaps per game to Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s 41.9 over the final nine weeks of the season, but in the first half of the year, with Cam Skattebo in the lineup, Singletary was the clear third option and at times hardly saw the field. From Weeks 2 through 7, with Skattebo serving as the primary back, Singletary topped a 30% snap share one time, in a game missed by Tracy. In three early-season games in which all three backs were healthy, the 28-year-old saw snap shares of 6%, 6%, and 4%. With Skattebo on track for a Week 1 start following the ankle injury that ended his rookie season, Singletary does not factor into 2026 drafts and is a player who can likely be dropped in dynasty leagues.

Devin Singletary Restructures his Contract With Giants
The New York Giants and running back Devin Singletary agreed to a restructured contract on Friday to keep him in New York in 2026, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Singletary has 1,144 scrimmage yards and nine touchdowns in his two seasons with the Giants, but he figures to be buried on the RB depth chart going into next season behind Cam Skattebo (ankle) and Tyrone Tracy Jr. The Giants have been rumored to be in the RB market this offseason as well, which can't bode well for the 28-year-old. The former third-rounder in 2019 out of Florida Atlantic by the Buffalo Bills had 119 carries in 2025 for 437 yards and five touchdowns in 17 games played, adding a career-low 18 receptions for 151 yards and no touchdowns as a receiver. Barring an injury to Skattebo or Tracy in 2026, Singletary will be off the fantasy radar in redraft leagues.

Will Devin Singletary be Phased Out of Giants' Offense?
Devin Singletary was the only New York Giants running back to play all 17 games in 2025, but he finished well behind Tyrone Tracy Jr. in carries, receptions, and total yards, while lacking the efficiency of rookie Cam Skattebo in either the running or passing game. Entering 2026 on the final year of the three-year pact he signed in 2024, he could be viewed as a cut candidate if Skattebo projects to enter camp fully healthy following a season-ending ankle injury. If Singletary does stay in New York, he projects as the third man in a rotation, with incoming head coach John Harbaugh having spent the past two seasons giving nearly all of his team's groundwork to Derrick Henry. While nobody on the Giants' roster should rightfully be compared to Henry, the 28-year-old Singletary could easily find himself buried on a depth chart behind two more versatile runners.

Devin Singletary Back in the Flex Conversation Heading into Week 18
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary bounced back from a couple of subpar showings in Weeks 15 and 16 with a solid game in his team's Week 17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, recording 70 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 12 touches. While Tyrone Tracy Jr. has established himself as the RB1 in New York in recent weeks, Singletary has maintained a role in the Giants' offense. Across eight games since New York lost running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) to a season-ending ankle injury, Singletary has racked up double-digit touches seven times. He's also scored four touchdowns and recorded fewer than 46 scrimmage yards just once in that eight-game stretch. While Singletary's upside is limited by Tracy Jr.'s presence, he's demonstrated flex-worthy production on a relatively consistent basis. Singletary could be worth targeting on the waiver in fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams heading into a favorable Week 18 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

Devin Singletary Finds the End Zone in Week 17
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary rushed eight times for 45 yards and a touchdown and hauled in four receptions for 25 yards in his team's 34-10 Week 17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Singletary was out-touched by fellow Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr., 15 to 12. However, Singletary still played a role in all phases of the Giants' offense and has now logged double-digit touches in seven out of eight games since New York lost running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) to a season-ending ankle injury. For the season overall, Singletary has recorded 562 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns on 128 touches across 16 games. He maintains deep-league flex appeal heading into the Giants' Week 18 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

Devin Singletary Tough to Trust in Week 17
Across seven games since New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) suffered a season-ending ankle injury, Giants back Devin Singletary has seen an average of 12.1 touches per game. However, the 28-year-old's role has begun to fade again in recent weeks, as he's averaging just nine touches per game over his last two contests. In that two-game span, Singletary has been out-snapped by Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. 87 to 37. While Singletary is still a safe bet to log a few carries and could see some work around the goal-line, Tracy Jr.'s recent emergence as the clear RB1 in New York limits Singletary's production upside. Making matters worse, Singletary faces a quietly difficult matchup in Week 17 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Entering the weekend, Las Vegas ranks fourth among NFL defenses in yards per carry allowed (3.8). At best, Singletary profiles as a deep-league flex option for fantasy managers in Week 17.

Devin Singletary Lagging Behind in Backfield Pecking Order
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary's workload has fallen off following the team's Week 14 bye, as backfield mate Tyrone Tracy Jr. has become the preferred rusher. Singletary had a nice run of fantasy production following the injury to teammate Cam Skattebo (ankle), posting double-digit efforts thrice ahead of New York's week off. During that time, Singletary and Tracy roughly split snaps, with one leading the other on a given week. However, over the previous two contests, the latter has handily out-touched (36-18) and out-snapped (87-37) the veteran, while the former's role in the passing game has all but vanished. With Singletary falling out of favor, fantasy managers can turn elsewhere for help over the season's remaining weeks.
