Who Should I Start? Devin Singletary or Clyde Edwards-Helaire

Sunday, September 8, 7:54 PM

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary had a quiet day in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, managing just 37 rushing yards on the ground and 15 receiving yards through four catches. Despite getting involved in the passing game, Singletary failed to find the end zone and was ultimately held in check by a stout Vikings defense. His 52 total yards won't win any matchups, but his consistent role in both facets of the offense is encouraging for PPR formats. Singletary could see an uptick in touches in Week 2 against the Washington Commanders, but he is better off left on the bench now.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) has officially been placed on the non-football illness list according to Field Yates. The veteran back will now miss at least the first four games of the season leaving the backup role wide open. Carson Steele, the undrafted free agent, has made the most noise as the backup so far, but the signing of Samaje Perine becomes even more important as well. They would become a bigger part of the passing game than previously expected and could be underrated producers in PPR formats given the volume. Their opportunities are going to fluctuate with each game plan, so their value is a bit better in deeper leagues or dynasty formats in terms of Steele.
