Devin Singletary News
Friday, September 11, 7:10 AM
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary made the 53-man roster, but his fantasy value still took a hit heading into Week 1. The Giants kept four running backs, and their current depth chart has Cam Skattebo first with Tyrone Tracy Jr., Najee Harris and Singletary all behind him. Harris was only added in August, which made an already crowded room even harder to sort out. Singletary did have some decent preseason moments, including 40 yards and a touchdown on eight carries against Miami, but there is still no clear path to steady touches. He handled 119 carries for 437 yards and five touchdowns last season, adding 18 catches for 151 yards. That was useful depth work, not enough to force the Giants into carving out a role now that Skattebo is back atop the depth chart and Harris is in the mix. RotoBaller has Singletary at RB81 entering the season. Making the roster keeps him relevant, but fantasy managers can leave him on waivers until this backfield gives us something more concrete.

Emari Demercado News
Friday, September 11, 11:14 AM
Dallas Cowboys running back Emari Demercado is basically unrostered on Yahoo, but that could change after Malik Davis was injured during Friday's practice. Davis had clearly won the No. 2 job behind Javonte Williams, with Demercado sitting directly behind him after Dallas claimed the veteran off waivers at the end of August. If Davis is forced to miss time, Demercado suddenly has a much cleaner path to backup work. He has been efficient when called on, averaging 6.5 yards per carry on 126 career attempts. Last season with Arizona, Demercado ran 44 times for 312 yards and caught 13 passes for 101 yards and a touchdown. None of that makes him a Week 1 starter against the Giants. Williams is still the lead back here. But with Demercado at 0% rostered on Yahoo, deeper-league managers now have a reason to take a shot before there is more clarity on Davis. If Davis misses time, Demercado's handcuff value rises quickly.
