Will Devin Singletary Hold a Role in a Healthy Giants Backfield?

Saturday, June 20, 5:50 AM

A somewhat forgotten man of the 2026 offseason, New York Giants running back Devin Singletary agreed to restructure the final year of the contract he signed in 2024, and he appears to have fallen down the depth chart after joining the team as the free agent replacement for Saquon Barkley. As the only Giants running back to play all 17 games in 2025, Singletary's five rushing touchdowns helped to keep him at least fantasy viable while covering up for his poor efficiency and 3.7 yards per carry average. He finished the year in a usable timeshare situation, seeing 24.9 snaps per game to Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s 41.9 over the final nine weeks of the season, but in the first half of the year, with Cam Skattebo in the lineup, Singletary was the clear third option and at times hardly saw the field. From Weeks 2 through 7, with Skattebo serving as the primary back, Singletary topped a 30% snap share one time, in a game missed by Tracy. In three early-season games in which all three backs were healthy, the 28-year-old saw snap shares of 6%, 6%, and 4%. With Skattebo on track for a Week 1 start following the ankle injury that ended his rookie season, Singletary does not factor into 2026 drafts and is a player who can likely be dropped in dynasty leagues.

Tahj Brooks News

Tahj Brooks Appears Blocked Off from Playing Time in Cincinnati

Friday, February 20, 7:31 AM

A sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Cincinnati Bengals running back Tahj Brooks played a minimal role on offense in his first professional season. Across 16 games, the 23-year-old recorded just 54 yards from scrimmage on 17 total touches. Bengals running back Chase Brown has logged nearly 600 touches over the past two seasons combined and is locked in as the RB1 in Cincinnati for at least 2026, blocking Brooks off from significant playing time. The Bengals also have steady veteran back Samaje Perine under contract for the 2026 season. Perine recorded 469 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns across 15 games with Cincinnati in 2025, and his reputation as a solid pass blocker and receiver should keep him secure in the team's third-down role. Post 2026, Brooks could have a pathway to more playing time in Cincinnati. However, it appears unlikely that he will have a chance to prove himself in the short term, barring an injury to Brown or Perine. Brooks' value in dynasty formats should be trending downward after his quiet rookie campaign.
