Who Should I Start? Devin Singletary or Cam Akers

Saturday, August 16, 11:59 PM

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary wasn't very involved in Saturday's preseason win over the Jets, amassing five yards off two carries. However, he made up for it by scoring a touchdown in the first quarter. Tyrone Tracy Jr. is the team's starter. That's not expected to change anytime soon. However, with Cam Skattebo (hamstring) having trouble getting on the field during the preseason, Singletary has a chance to remain more involved than anticipated to begin the 2025 campaign. Still, the 27-year-old has a way to go before earning a spot on fantasy rosters heading into the Week 1 opener versus the Washington Commanders. The Giants will close out the preseason on Thursday night against the Patriots.

The New Orleans Saints released running back Cam Akers on Monday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Akers should land on his feet somewhere else after he ran for 444 yards and two touchdown on 104 carries with the Minnesota Vikings and Houston Texans in 17 regular-season games a year ago. He also had 14 catches on 18 targets for 68 yards and three more touchdowns. However, the 26-year-old wasn't able to do enough during training camp and the preseason to carve out a role in the Saints' RB room next to Alvin Kamara, Kendre Miller and rookie Devin Neal. Akers was originally a second-round selection (52nd overall) by the Los Angeles Rams in 2020 out of Florida State. In his five NFL seasons, he' averaged 4.0 yards per carry for 2,2025 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns on 502 carries over 53 games (17 starts). Akers is obviously off the fantasy radar right now.
