Who Should I Start? Devin Singletary or Jarquez Hunter

If he's healthy, New York Giants running back Devin Singletary figures to be a lock for the final 53-man roster heading into the 2025 regular season, in the opinion of The Bergen Record's Art Stapleton. The Giants won't get any salary cap savings if they were to cut Singletary, and Stapleton thinks that with two young backs on the roster in Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Cam Skattebo, Singletary will be even more valuable on and off the field. The 27-year-old took a back seat to Tracy in 2024 in his first year with the team, carrying the ball 113 times for 437 yards and four touchdowns in 15 games (five starts) after he had a career-high 898 rushing yards the previous season with Houston. Now that the rookie Skattebo is in the fold, Singletary is likely to see his role reduced even further in 2025.

Los Angeles Rams running back Jarquez Hunter rushed for 41 yards on 11 carries during Saturday's preseason opener against the Dallas Cowboys. He was not targeted in the passing game, but he did add a 21-yard kick return to his stat line. Although we would've liked to see him average more than 3.7 yards per carry, the rookie did turn heads by taking on a high-volume role in his preseason debut. Not only does Hunter's fourth-round draft capital give him a leg up over Blake Corum to be the Rams' backup running back, but he is also expected to push for some of Kyren Williams' snaps. As a likely handcuff with potential standalone value, Hunter is worth stashing in the final rounds of fantasy drafts with at least 14 teams.
