Who Should I Start? Devin Singletary or Tyler Allgeier

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary struggled in his return during Sunday's 28-3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Singletary carried the ball five times for 18 yards, averaging 3.6 yards per carry, with his longest run going for 10 yards. He also caught one pass for three yards but failed to reach the end zone, finishing with a disappointing 2.6 fantasy points. Despite Singletary's return from injury, Tyrone Tracy Jr. led the Giants in carries, indicating Singletary's role may remain limited moving forward.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier returned his usual backup role in Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Seahawks, ceding a full workhorse load to backfield mate Bijan Robinson. It seemed the 24-year-old's role was expanding, culminating with an 18-carry, 105-yard outburst in Week 6, but finished Week 7 with just five carries compared to Robinson's season-high 21 rush attempts, totaling 36 yards on the ground while adding one catch for nine yards. He was never destined to out-touch Robinson, but his efficiency (5.5 YPC) and proven ability to carry the load pointed to more opportunities that ultimately did not come to pass this week. Despite averaging 7.2 YPC in Sunday's contest, Allgeier still looks like a volatile, game-script-dependent fantasy asset right now, but remains a strong handcuff to Robinson should anything happen to Atlanta's lead back. The Falcons' Week 8 opponent, Tampa Bay, has generally been stout against the run, which doesn't bode well for Allgeier's near-term prospects.
