Who Should I Start? Devin Singletary or Ty Chandler

Sunday, November 2, 9:23 AM

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.

The Minnesota Vikings announced on Thursday that they placed running back Ty Chandler (knee) on Injured Reserve, which means he will be forced to sit out beyond the team's Week 6 bye. Chandler was active for the Week 1 win over the Chicago Bears on Monday night but only played on special teams as a return man. With Chandler's injury, the Vikings are now pretty thin in the backfield behind their top two options, Aaron Jones Sr. and Jordan Mason. Zavier Scott is currently listed as their No. 3. Myles Price (knee) and Tai Felton are the candidates to replace Chandler on kickoff-return duties moving forward, starting in Week 2 on Sunday night against the Atlanta Falcons. In three seasons with the Vikes, Chandler has 164 rushing attempts for 663 yards (4.0 yards per carry) and three rushing touchdowns in 38 games (four starts).
