Who Should I Start? Devin Singletary or Rico Dowdle

Sunday, January 5, 7:29 PM

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary had 22 yards off seven attempts in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. He added one catch for negative yardage. Singletary, who signed a three-year deal with the G-Men in March 2024, had a good start to the season, finding the end zone twice in New York's first three games. However, he eventually lost the starting job to rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. and has remained the backup ever since. With Tracy likely to remain the No. 1 option on the depth chart entering the 2025-26 campaign, Singletary will presumably continue to operate behind him. As a result, his fantasy value doesn't look promising heading into next season, although he'll likely draw interest for those looking for an insurance policy.

The Carolina Panthers have signed free-agent running back Rico Dowdle on Wednesday. The two sides have agreed on a one-year, $6.25 million deal for the upcoming season. On paper, Dowdle is a good fit with the Panthers who certainly need depth behind Chuba Hubbard. Last season, Dowdle rushed for over 1,000 yards across 15 games with the Dallas Cowboys. It's also worth noting that Dowdle hauled in 39 receptions for 249 yards and three touchdowns through the air. This is a low-risk move that should help the Panthers while former second-round pick Jonathon Brooks (knee) recovers from injury.
