Who Should I Start? Nyheim Hines or Devin Singletary

Monday, October 27, 7:01 PM

Los Angeles Chargers running back Nyheim Hines was elevated from the practice squad for the third time this season but made little impact in Thursday's 37-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Hines saw only seven snaps, four on offense and three on special teams, and finished with two carries for minus 2 yards. He was clearly behind Kimani Vidal and Jaret Patterson on the depth chart and has since returned to the practice squad. Now that Hines has reached the maximum number of elevations allowed from the practice squad, the Chargers must decide whether to sign him to the active roster to keep him available, as per NFL rules. With Hassan Haskins (hamstring) and Omarion Hampton (ankle) still sidelined, there's a possibility Hines gets signed. However, his limited usage on Thursday might suggest otherwise. Either way, he's off the fantasy radar heading into Week 9 against a struggling Tennessee Titans defense.

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.
