Who Should I Start? Devin Singletary or Chuba Hubbard

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.

The Charlotte Observer's Alex Zietlow writes that Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard "will still get the overwhelming majority of the touches" this year. Hubbard was the team's bell-cow back in 2024 with 712 snaps. He carried the ball 250 times, which ranked 11th in the NFL and second among all RBs who played 15 games or fewer. Zietlow thinks that number will drop a bit this year as the Panthers look to keep Hubbard fresh, with Rico Dowdle and rookie Trevor Etienne splitting change-of-pace carries. The 26-year-old had his first 1,000-yard rushing season with a career-high 10 touchdowns in 15 starts, adding a carer-high 43 catches for 171 yards and a score through the air. There's a good chance 2024 ends up being Hubbard's career year, as Dowdle should be much more effective than Miles Sanders was behind Hubbard last year. Fantasy managers should target Hubbard as an RB2.
