Who Should I Start? Saquon Barkley or Devin Singletary

Philadelphia Eagles running back Will Shipley set his season high for touches in a game last week against the Packers, carrying the ball four times and hauling in two catches. This resulted in 34 total yards, which is also his best in a single game this year. Philly's backfield has been tough to keep track of through the first 10 weeks, as Shipley, Tank Bigsby, and A.J. Dillon have rotated between the lead backup role behind Saquon Barkley. While Bigsby shined with over 100 rushing yards in Week 8, he got only 12.7% of offensive snaps against Green Bay compared to Shipley's 19%. Regardless of who gets the bulk going forward, Shipley is best left out of lineups this week against the Lions and should be rostered as a handcuff at best.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary has narrowly outscored Tyrone Tracy Jr. over the past two weeks, with Cam Skattebo (ankle) out for the season. Singletary looks like he has earned the goal line work and ranks as the RB15 in the past two games with 28 PPR points, compared to Tracy as RB19 with 26 points. Tracy has the clear edge in touches (38 to 28), but Singletary has handled all nine running back carries inside the 10-yard line and scored two touchdowns. The 28-year-old is the more trusted player in protection and has earned the high-value touches, seeing the goal line work and maintaining a relatively close split in route share. Both of their upside for fantasy will be limited in a committee, but Singletary looks like he could be the higher-scoring back the rest of the way.
