Who Should I Start? Devin Singletary or DJ Giddens

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary will likely see an increased snap share and target share in Week 9 against the San Francisco 49ers. The 28-year-old is headed for a larger role as he operates as the backup to Tyrone Tracy Jr. on Sunday. Singletary's increased volume will be the direct result of New York losing rookie sensation Cam Skattebo (ankle) to a season-ending injury. The Florida Atlantic product totaled over 550 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns as the backup to Tracy last year, but he's still searching for his first touchdown of the 2025 campaign. We fully expect Tracy to handle around 15 touches per game in the lead-back role, but Singletary's role will grow, too. He could see five-plus carries and a couple of targets in this upward-trending offense, all while serving as a valuable handcuff to Tracy.

Indianapolis Colts running back DJ Giddens (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Giddens opened the year as the primary backup and handcuff behind Jonathan Taylor, but he seems to have fallen out of favor as the season goes on. Now, the rookie will watch from the sideline for the second week in a row. Ameer Abdullah and Tyler Goodson have both surpassed Giddens on the depth chart and will occupy depth roles behind Taylor once again this Sunday.
