Nicholas Singleton Improving as Trade Deadline Approaches

Monday, November 9, 7:35 AM

Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh said that rookie fifth-round running back Nicholas Singleton is getting better, and he feels good about the team's RB room, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN. Tony Pollard has been Tennessee's unquestioned lead back in 2026, while Singleton has only seen seven carries for 12 yards in four games played in his first year in the NFL despite Tyjae Spears missing some time with injuries. Pollard is a candidate to be traded before Tuesday's deadline, though, and if he is traded away, the 22-year-old Singleton could become a popular waiver-wire pickup in fantasy football leagues with an expanded role alongside Spears for the rest of the 2026 season. In addition to Spears and Singleton, the Titans have Michael Carter and Julius Chestnut in their RB room. Even if Pollard is not traded away by Tuesday, Singleton figures to see more opportunities for the 1-7 Titans in the second half of his rookie campaign.

Demond Claiborne a Short-Term Handcuff Option in Deep Leagues

Tuesday, September 29, 2:55 PM

Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Demond Claiborne was thrust into a bigger role when the team put Jordan Mason (thumb) on Injured Reserve last week. However, the Vikings have been hesitant to put too much on the sixth-rounder out of Wake Forest's plate early in his first season in the NFL, and that showed in the Vikings' Week 3 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 22-year-old only played three offensive snaps and had three rushing attempts for just one yard, while both Max Bredson and DeeJay Dallas out-snapped him behind starter Aaron Jones Sr. Claiborne's role could grow over the next couple of weeks, though, and Mason will miss at least three more games while on IR. In Claiborne's NFL debut in the Week 2 victory over the division-rival Chicago Bears, he had just one reception for a gain of two yards. At best, Claiborne is a short-term handcuff option for fantasy managers who have Jones rostered, but once Mason returns from his thumb injury, Claiborne will be buried on Minnesota's RB depth chart again. He is currently rostered in only 2% of Yahoo leagues.
