Who Should I Start? Christian McCaffrey or Devin Singletary

Thursday, January 1, 6:31 PM

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (back) was removed from the Week 18 injury report on Thursday and will play on Saturday night against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks, according to Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area. McCaffrey has dealt with a bit of back stiffness in the final month of the regular season, but it hasn't been a serious issue, and he'll be fine this weekend as the Niners look to secure the No. 1 seed, a first-round bye, and home-field advantage throughout the postseason. The 29-year-old is coming off a second straight 100-yard rushing game in the Week 17 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday night, in which he had 23 carries for a season-high 140 yards and one touchdown on the ground. CMC added 41 receiving yards on four catches. He remains the do-it-all focal point of San Fran's offense and is a must-start, high-end RB1 in all fantasy leagues in 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.
