Who Should I Start? Devin Singletary or Will Shipley

Devin Singletary was the only New York Giants running back to play all 17 games in 2025, but he finished well behind Tyrone Tracy Jr. in carries, receptions, and total yards, while lacking the efficiency of rookie Cam Skattebo in either the running or passing game. Entering 2026 on the final year of the three-year pact he signed in 2024, he could be viewed as a cut candidate if Skattebo projects to enter camp fully healthy following a season-ending ankle injury. If Singletary does stay in New York, he projects as the third man in a rotation, with incoming head coach John Harbaugh having spent the past two seasons giving nearly all of his team's groundwork to Derrick Henry. While nobody on the Giants' roster should rightfully be compared to Henry, the 28-year-old Singletary could easily find himself buried on a depth chart behind two more versatile runners.

Philadelphia Eagles Will Shipley has been relegated mostly to special teams touches and the occasional carry behind Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby as the team's RB3. The Eagles acquired Bigsby ahead of Week 7, and he's mostly served as the primary backup to Barkley. Since then, Bigsby and Shipley have each played 14.5% of the offensive snaps, but Bigsby has 17 carries to Shipley's seven during that span. The 2024 fourth-round pick entered the season as the No. 2 back for the Eagles, then missed Weeks 2 and 3 due to a rib injury, and has now fallen out of favor with the team, going out and trading for another back to have another capable option behind Barkley. Shipley still has some appeal as a handcuff if Barkley were to go down, but it would likely be a timeshare with Bigsby.
