Who Should I Start? Ezekiel Elliott or Devin Singletary

Monday, January 6, 9:59 PM

The Los Angeles Chargers have signed running back Ezekiel Elliott on Monday. The former first-round pick will get a chance to compete for a Super Bowl this season. The Chargers are lacking depth at the running back spot, so the addition of Elliott does make sense. The three-time Pro Bowl back might play a minimal role during Saturday's Wild-Card game against the Houston Texans. This season, Elliott rushed for 226 yards on 74 carries with three touchdowns in 15 games with the Dallas Cowboys. The 29-year-old brings knowledge and leadership, but he hasn't rushed for over 1,000 yards since 2021. This is a depth move that gives the 29-year-old a chance to win a Super Bowl.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary's fantasy value is largely dependent on game flow, and he could split snaps with Tyrone Tracy Jr. during Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Chicago Bears. Singletary handled 56 percent of the snaps last week, registering eight carries for 43 yards, plus an additional two catches and eight receiving yards. Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka recently confirmed that Tracy will earn the start in Week 10, but his comments indicated that the exact workload split is dependent on game flow. In other words, Singletary could pace the backfield in snaps, Tracy could lead the way, or we might see another 50-50 split. With uncertainty continuing to surround this backfield post-Cam Skattebo (ankle) injury, fantasy managers should be wary of deploying Singletary as anything more than a low-end RB3/flex. He's merely a desperation option who can help managers short-term as their roster deals with bye weeks or injuries.
