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

If he's healthy, New York Giants running back Devin Singletary figures to be a lock for the final 53-man roster heading into the 2025 regular season, in the opinion of The Bergen Record's Art Stapleton. The Giants won't get any salary cap savings if they were to cut Singletary, and Stapleton thinks that with two young backs on the roster in Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Cam Skattebo, Singletary will be even more valuable on and off the field. The 27-year-old took a back seat to Tracy in 2024 in his first year with the team, carrying the ball 113 times for 437 yards and four touchdowns in 15 games (five starts) after he had a career-high 898 rushing yards the previous season with Houston. Now that the rookie Skattebo is in the fold, Singletary is likely to see his role reduced even further in 2025.

Philadelphia Eagles running back AJ Dillon was seen taking first team reps during the first day of training camp on Wednesday. It's only the beginning of camp, but it is interesting to see Dillon getting first team snaps over Will Shipley. Dillon was brought in on a one-year deal this offseason to replace Kenneth Gainwell who departed in free agency. Dillon did not play last season due to a neck injury, but appears to be at full health again. He posted three seasons with 600 rushing yards or more during his time with the Green Bay Packers. The 27-year-old is certainly capable of being a viable backup to Saquon Barkley. Neither Dillon nor Shipley figure to have weekly value with Barkley healthy, but both could be on the radar if Barkley ever misses time. Whoever wins the backup job could be a solid stash option.
