Who Should I Start? Devin Singletary or Kyle Monangai

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary will likely see an increased snap share and target share in Week 9 against the San Francisco 49ers. The 28-year-old is headed for a larger role as he operates as the backup to Tyrone Tracy Jr. on Sunday. Singletary's increased volume will be the direct result of New York losing rookie sensation Cam Skattebo (ankle) to a season-ending injury. The Florida Atlantic product totaled over 550 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns as the backup to Tracy last year, but he's still searching for his first touchdown of the 2025 campaign. We fully expect Tracy to handle around 15 touches per game in the lead-back role, but Singletary's role will grow, too. He could see five-plus carries and a couple of targets in this upward-trending offense, all while serving as a valuable handcuff to Tracy.

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai rushed for 176 yards on 26 carries during Sunday's Week 9 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also caught three of his five targets for an additional 22 receiving yards. Monangai was thrust into the lead-back role with D'Andre Swift (groin) sidelined, and he took full advantage of the opportunity, notching 29 touches in just his eighth career NFL game. The rookie seventh-round pick has played well enough over the last few weeks that he might be able to hold onto the lead-back role even when Swift is healthy again. At the very least, Monangai will carve out a sizable complementary role, giving him an RB3/flex floor every week. He's an RB3 heading into Week 10 against the New York Giants and could jump to the low-end RB1 tier if Swift is ruled out.
