Who Should I Start? Devin Singletary or Rico Dowdle

Saturday, September 27, 2:37 PM

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary has barely been utilized so far in 2025, recording just eight carries for 24 yards across three games. However, the Giants will be without running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (shoulder) in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers. That sets Singletary up to step into the RB2 role behind Giants rookie back Cam Skattebo. Skattebo has a three-down skill set, so fantasy managers should still expect Singletary's workload to be limited. Singletary is not worth starting in Week 4 against Los Angeles, but he could be worth rostering in deeper leagues as the handcuff to Skattebo while Tracy Jr. is sidelined.

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales wouldn't say for sure if running back Rico Dowdle will start on Sunday at RB against the New York Jets, but would only say that Dowdle "has earned the right to help this team and we will find a way (for him) to do that." Chuba Hubbard (calf) has missed the last two games, and in that time, Dowdle has amassed more than 400 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 60 total touches. At the very least, the 27-year-old has earned a backfield split with Hubbard, who could return this weekend after practicing on Wednesday for the first time since Week 4. Before Hubbard's injury, he was solid in his own right as the Panthers' starting RB. It's a good problem to have for Carolina. If Hubbard is back in Week 7, the backfield touches figure to be split more evenly, making things more cloudy for fantasy managers.
