Who Should I Start? Devin Singletary or Dameon Pierce

Saturday, September 27, 2:37 PM

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary has barely been utilized so far in 2025, recording just eight carries for 24 yards across three games. However, the Giants will be without running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (shoulder) in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers. That sets Singletary up to step into the RB2 role behind Giants rookie back Cam Skattebo. Skattebo has a three-down skill set, so fantasy managers should still expect Singletary's workload to be limited. Singletary is not worth starting in Week 4 against Los Angeles, but he could be worth rostering in deeper leagues as the handcuff to Skattebo while Tracy Jr. is sidelined.

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce is active for Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Baltimore Ravens. He had previously been a healthy scratch and hasn't seen the field since the season opener. While this week's development is a step in the right direction for Pierce, his exact role remains unclear. Houston has a very crowded backfield with Nick Chubb and Woody Marks atop the depth chart, as well as British Brooks, Dare Ogunbowale, and Pierce in depth roles. The former Florida product should be avoided in all fantasy leagues as long as the rest of his fellow running backs stay healthy.
