Who Should I Start? Jeremy McNichols or Devin Singletary

Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols worked mostly behind rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt in Week 5, rushing just once for six yards and catching one of two targets for 12 yards. McNichols matched third-year running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. in snaps, each playing 13 snaps, while Croskey-Merritt led the way with 28. McNichols' role in pass protection is highly valued by the Washington coaching staff and will keep him involved in Washington's backfield committee. But his floor for touches is low, which limits his appeal in fantasy.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary has barely been utilized so far in 2025, recording just eight carries for 24 yards across three games. However, the Giants will be without running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (shoulder) in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers. That sets Singletary up to step into the RB2 role behind Giants rookie back Cam Skattebo. Skattebo has a three-down skill set, so fantasy managers should still expect Singletary's workload to be limited. Singletary is not worth starting in Week 4 against Los Angeles, but he could be worth rostering in deeper leagues as the handcuff to Skattebo while Tracy Jr. is sidelined.
