Who Should I Start? Devin Singletary or Javonte Williams

Wednesday, December 10, 11:19 AM

Across his last five games played, New York Giants running back Devin Singletary has recorded 320 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 67 touches. The 28-year-old has earned at least 11 touches in every game since Giants running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 9. Singletary also logged at least 12 carries in each of his last three outings before New York's Week 14 bye. The Giants have split backfield work between Singletary and Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hip) since Skattebo went down. Tracy Jr. suffered a hip injury in Week 13 that he has said is minor, but it could still lead the Giants to funnel more touches to the veteran Singletary down the stretch of the season. Singletary could have flex appeal for fantasy managers in Week 15 against the Washington Commanders and beyond.

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams projects to be a must-start low-end RB1 on Sunday night when the Cowboys welcome the Minnesota Vikings. Last week, Williams continued his massive bounce-back campaign by punching in his ninth rushing score of the season and his 11th total score from scrimmage. Despite facing a Detroit defense that had allowed the fewest PPR points to opposing RBs this season, Williams racked up 14.7 PPR points and was quite effective with his opportunities, tallying 67 yards on 17 attempts. Since Week 11, the former first-round pick has posted a solid 4.0 YPC and averaged 13.5 PPR points per game. While his ceiling may be limited, facing a Vikings defense that has allowed the 12th-fewest PPR points to opposing RBs, Williams carries high upside to find the back of the end zone, playing on one of the sport's top offensive units. In addition, his massive workload as the lead back (averaging 76% of the team's total snaps) gives him a high floor, making him a must-start, low-end RB1, in all formats.
