Who Should I Start? Devin Singletary or A.J. Dillon

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary had 22 yards off seven attempts in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. He added one catch for negative yardage. Singletary, who signed a three-year deal with the G-Men in March 2024, had a good start to the season, finding the end zone twice in New York's first three games. However, he eventually lost the starting job to rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. and has remained the backup ever since. With Tracy likely to remain the No. 1 option on the depth chart entering the 2025-26 campaign, Singletary will presumably continue to operate behind him. As a result, his fantasy value doesn't look promising heading into next season, although he'll likely draw interest for those looking for an insurance policy.

According to Geoff Mosher of the Philly Voice, Philadelphia Eagles running back AJ Dillon (neck) isn't a lock to make the team's 53-man roster. Saquon Barkley had an MVP-caliber year in 2024, and he is expected to continue handling the bulk of the snaps out of the backfield. With Kenneth Gainwell signing with the Steelers during the offseason, the Eagles had a void to fill behind Barkley. Most assumed that Dillon, who inked an agreement with Philly in March, would automatically occupy the No. 2 spot this season. However, that may not be the case, with Mosher mentioning the ascension of Will Shipley after strong showings during OTAs. There are still some things Shipley needs to improve, specifically, his size and strength. All things considered, Barkley should leave little room for anyone else to get involved from a fantasy standpoint, so Dillon and Shipley should only draw draft consideration for insurance purposes. Still, as of now, it appears it is Dillon's job to lose, although he may need to step it up throughout training camp. The 27-year-old appeared in 60 regular-season contests for the Packers, amassing 2,428 yards and 16 touchdowns on the ground. He also had 86 catches for 763 yards and two touchdowns. Unfortunately, Dillon missed all of last season due to a neck injury, which will be another thing to monitor this summer.
