Who Should I Start? Damien Harris or Devin Singletary

Monday, March 25, 9:07 PM

Former New England Patriots running back Damien Harris announced his retirement from professional football on Monday at age 27. The Patriots selected Harris in the third round (87th overall) in the 2019 NFL draft out of Alabama, and he had 449 rushing attempts for 2,094 yards and 20 touchdowns in his four years in New England in 38 regular-season games (34 starts) while adding 40 receptions on 51 targets for an additional 281 receiving yards. Harris spent the 2023 campaign with the Buffalo Bills but played in only six games before suffering a season-ending concussion/neck injury that saw him be taken off the field in an ambulance. He'll end his NFL career after just five seasons, recording 2,188 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns on 427 carries with the Pats and Bills.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary will take a backseat to Tyrone Tracy Jr. during the upcoming Week 10 matchup against the Chicago Bears. The Giants are looking for a stable option in the backfield with Cam Skattebo (ankle) done for the season. Last week, Singletary rushed eight times for 43 yards in the loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Tracy only saw five carries during that game, but figures to see an increased workload this weekend. This seems like a frustrating situation for fantasy managers going forward. It doesn't seem like the Giants have a clear gameplan for their backfield at the moment. That being said, Singletary isn't anything more than a low-end flex option for Week 10.
