Who Should I Start? Saquon Barkley or Devin Singletary

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby could get his breakout moment this Friday if Saquon Barkley (groin) is unable to suit up. Bigsby is the only Philly RB besides Barkley to get any carries in the last two weeks, and would likely get his number called as the next man up should the Eagles' primary backfield option miss the game against Chicago. While the former Jaguar hasn't seen a ton of action since being traded to Philadelphia earlier this season, he has shown promise with his limited opportunities. In 10 games, Bigsby has carried the ball 18 times for 164 yards for an average of 9.1 yards per carry. The Eagles offensive live is always going to be a huge benefactor to whoever gets the handoffs, and fellow RB Will Shipley would probably be used more in the passing game. If he does get the starting nod, Bigsby should be seen as at least a mid-level RB2 against a Bears defense allowing the 14th-most fantasy points to RBs.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary held a meaningful role in the team's backfield over the past two weeks, but saw Tyrone Tracy Jr. dominate the snaps and touches in Week 12's overtime loss to the Detroit Lions. Singletary still handled 14 carries for 47 yards, but played on just 29.9% of the snaps, his lowest in a game since Cam Skattebo (ankle) got injured in Week 8. Notably, there was a shift in the goal-line work in Week 12. Singletary handled all 10 running back carries inside the 10-yard line in Weeks 9 through 11, but Tracy handled three of four carries in these spots in Week 12. Tracy seems to be separating himself as the clear lead back in New York, and he's performed well with his opportunities. However, Singletary remains involved with the Giants and is worth a waiver wire add this week in 12-team leagues. Plus, he would step into a workhorse role if Tracy were to miss any time.
