Who Should I Start? Devin Singletary or Will Shipley

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary started the season as the RB3 in New York behind Cam Skattebo (ankle) and Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hip). However, Skattebo is on Injured Reserve with an ankle injury, and Tracy Jr. suffered a hip injury in the Giants' Week 13 loss to the New England Patriots. While Tracy Jr. said he merely suffered a hip contusion and should be good to go following New York's Week 14 bye, the 2-11 Giants could still choose to shift more work towards Singletary going forward. Even with Tracy Jr. healthy, Singletary has logged at least 14 touches in each of the team's last three games. The 28-year-old has also provided solid production in that span, recording 196 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns. As long as he continues to see a similar workload following the Giants' bye week, Singletary should provide flex-worthy production for fantasy managers down the stretch of the season.

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.
