Who Should I Start? Devin Singletary or Kimani Vidal

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.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal heads into Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs with an almost evenly split backfield, following the recent return of Omarion Hampton (14 carries for Vidal vs. 13 for Hampton). Vidal ran the ball 14 times for 44 yards (3.1 YPC) but made a notable impact with one reception for 60 yards, resulting in a 68.9% snap share. Chargers OC Greg Roman recently said he prefers a hot-hand approach, but right now, he is "seeing two guys with the hot hand," which is "a good problem to have." Although the Chiefs are more vulnerable on the ground than through the air, they still rank in the top seven in rushing yards allowed, making this a tough matchup for both backs. RotoBaller projects Vidal as RB43 this week. Given his involvement in the passing game and the team's ongoing reliance on the run due to Justin Herbert's injury, Vidal is a low-end FLEX option in deeper leagues.
