Who Should I Start? Devin Singletary or Elijah Mitchell

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary will take a backseat to Tyrone Tracy Jr. during the upcoming Week 10 matchup against the Chicago Bears. The Giants are looking for a stable option in the backfield with Cam Skattebo (ankle) done for the season. Last week, Singletary rushed eight times for 43 yards in the loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Tracy only saw five carries during that game, but figures to see an increased workload this weekend. This seems like a frustrating situation for fantasy managers going forward. It doesn't seem like the Giants have a clear gameplan for their backfield at the moment. That being said, Singletary isn't anything more than a low-end flex option for Week 10.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Elijah Mitchell is a healthy inactive for the Week 1 regular-season opener on Friday night in Brazil against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers, according to Nate Taylor of ESPN. It's bad news for Mitchell heading into his first year with the Chiefs, as it looks like he's the RB4 to open the year, behind starter Isiah Pacheco, Kareem Hunt and rookie Brashard Smith. The 27-year-old was getting some first-team reps early in training camp, but that was a long time ago in late July. Mitchell signed a one-year, $2.5 million deal with KC in the offseason after spending his first three NFL seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. In his three years in the Bay Area, the former sixth-rounder in 2021 out of Louisiana averaged 4.7 yards per tote on 327 rush attempts for 1,523 yards and nine touchdowns (five in his rookie season).
