Devin Singletary a Healthy Scratch Against Titans

Sunday, September 27, 8:25 AM

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans, according to Dan Salomone. Singletary had been involved in the backfield through the first two games, but his role was already shrinking. He has nine carries for 25 yards and four catches for 22 yards and a touchdown on the season, with only three rushing attempts coming in last week's loss to the Rams. Cam Skattebo sits atop the Giants' backfield, while Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Najee Harris are both active and available behind him. Leaving Singletary off the gameday roster despite being healthy is another sign that he has slipped down the pecking order in New York. There wasn't much fantasy value left to begin with, and Singletary can be left on waiver wires in most formats unless his role changes.

Mike Washington Jr. Worth Stashing Amid Potential Workload Increase in Las Vegas?

Monday, October 12, 12:26 PM

Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Mike Washington Jr. had a very quiet game in his team's blowout loss to the New England Patriots in Week 5, recording just 10 yards from scrimmage on two carries. The 23-year-old is currently averaging five yards per carry this season, but he's seen limited usage while playing a reserve role behind Raiders workhorse back Ashton Jeanty (foot/ankle). However, Jeanty is currently battling a foot/ankle issue that may be limiting his effectiveness, as he's averaged just 3.3 yards per carry on 88 attempts so far this season. While Jeanty has not yet missed any time, the Raiders could eventually scale back his workload if he continues to be this inefficient. In leagues where he remains available, Washington Jr. profiles as an appealing handcuff option with some standalone upside for fantasy managers to target on the waiver wire.
