NegativeRoleOct 27, 2026
Singletary was part of Nagy's offensive scheme in McCarthy's first start, featured in a high-low route concept. On a play in the second quarter, Nagy dialed up a high-low with Singletary and Fields, with McCarthy holding the underneath defender with his eyes before delivering a 20-yard pass to Fields along the sideline. This demonstrates Singletary's role in the Giants' multidimensional offense under McCarthy.PositiveRoleOct 26, 2026
Scored the game-winner in OT against Houston; should be rostered as part of Giants' three-back committee, though the offense lacks a clear bell-cow.PositiveUsageOct 26, 2026
Singletary had 41 yards and a touchdown on five carries, plus 14 yards on three catches. He sealed the game with a 30-yard touchdown run on the final play, demonstrating good patience, vision, and contact balance; he tempos his runs to give blockers time to lock in and influences defenders' angles with subtle pathing adjustments.PositiveRoleOct 26, 2026
Singletary had by far his best game of the season, capped by his game-winning TD run in overtime in which he eluded at least two tacklers, delivering the decisive play in the Giants' victory.PositiveUsageOct 26, 2026
Singletary capped the Giants' overtime victory with a 30-yard touchdown run that matched New York's entire win total from the previous season, giving the team confidence heading into a bye week after three straight poor rushing performances.PositiveUsageOct 25, 2026
Singletary followed Skattebo's 42-yard OT run with a 30-yard touchdown run for the winning score. The source notes he ran almost untouched on the winning TD, benefiting from improved offensive line blocking for the run game.PositiveRoleOct 25, 2026
Singletary, described as the 'third, and sometimes fourth, wheel in the Giants' backfield this season,' capitalized on an opportunity when Tyrone Tracy left the game with a hamstring injury. He scored the game-winning 30-yard overtime touchdown, making two fantastic cuts in the open field on the decisive run. This demonstrates his ability to produce when given playing time in a crowded backfield.PositiveUsageOct 25, 2026
Singletary rushed five times for 41 yards with the game-winning touchdown in overtime, helping cap off the Giants' explosive rushing attack against Houston's tough run defense.PositiveUsageOct 25, 2026
Devin Singletary finished the overtime victory with a 30-yard touchdown run to seal the game, demonstrating late-game execution and goal-line effectiveness in a high-leverage moment.NegativeRoleOct 23, 2026
Devin Singletary should continue to receive his touches in the Giants' backfield under J.J. McCarthy. The source notes that Singletary should also receive his touches as part of the offensive game plan.NegativeRoleOct 21, 2026
Singletary is characterized as Mr. Consistency with excellent pass protection and only four fumbles in 1,352 career touches; going forward, he is expected to become the back the Giants close games with while protecting a lead.NegativeUsageOct 20, 2026
Singletary has averaged 3.0 yards per carry this season, contributing to the Giants' lack of a 20-yard run from a running back and demonstrating the need for an elite running back upgrade.NegativeUsageOct 20, 2026
Singletary is part of the Giants' four-way running back timeshare with 13 carries for 39 yards (3.0 yards per carry). Like the other backs, he has not earned a featured role in Harbaugh's system, which is struggling to produce consistent rushing production.PositiveUsageOct 19, 2026
Singletary's 9-yard run in the fourth quarter with J.J. McCarthy at quarterback demonstrated the effectiveness of alignment changes; when lined up even with McCarthy in shotgun rather than behind him, Singletary benefited from Saints' defensive hesitation and confusion about whether McCarthy would run or hand off, allowing Giants' blockers to establish blocks more effectively. The source also notes Singletary needs to be more physical and patient letting blocks develop.NegativeUsageOct 19, 2026
Singletary received 4 carries in Week 5 vs Saints (out of 14 total team attempts) as Harbaugh attempted to get him into the mix after the run game struggled. Harbaugh stated 'Motor (RB Devin Singletary) really hasn't had a chance to take the bull by the horns' and indicated the coaching staff was testing multiple backs to see who could establish themselves as the lead back, with Singletary showing better tempo as a runner compared to Harris and Skattebo.NegativeUsageOct 19, 2026
Singletary had four carries for 14 yards in the four-way running back timeshare. Harbaugh brought him into the mix to see if he could "get a hot hand and earn it," stating: "Motor (RB Devin Singletary) really hasn't had a chance to take the bull by the horns. So, we thought we'd get him in the mix, too." However, the Giants' run game was a disaster overall, producing only 34 yards on 14 carries (2.4 yards per carry) against New Orleans, with no back establishing themselves as the primary option.NegativeUsageOct 18, 2026
Singletary had 4 carries for 14 yards as part of the Giants' ineffective run game, which the source describes as pitiful, abominable, atrocious, and non-existent. None of the Giants' running backs stepped up to earn trust.NegativeUsageOct 18, 2026
Recorded four carries for 14 yards and a 19-yard reception; source identifies Singletary as part of the answer to the Giants' RB situation, though he was at expected yardage (0 yards over expected), suggesting run-blocking issues are not his primary problem.NegativeUsageOct 18, 2026
Singletary had four rushes for 14 yards in a game where the Giants' rushing attack was nonexistent; poor blocking prevented any back from getting anything going.PositiveRoleOct 18, 2026
Veteran running back Devin Singletary, who has been inactive in the past three games, will be active against the New Orleans Saints, returning to the Giants' running back rotation.NegativeRoleOct 17, 2026
Singletary has declined significantly since joining the Giants in 2024. Tyrone Tracy took his job after four games in 2024 with 839 rushing yards at 4.4 YPC versus Singletary's 439 yards at 3.9 YPC. In 2025, Singletary was the clear RB3 behind Tracy and Skattebo; after Skattebo's injury he moved to RB2 but remained third on the team in rushing yards (behind Tracy's 740 and Dart's 487) while averaging just 3.7 YPC. His lowest YPC average in his first five career years was 4.2, indicating clear decline. The source states he is not the answer to the Giants' running game issues.PositiveRoleOct 16, 2026
The source argues there is a solid case that Singletary has the best vision of the backs and would prefer to see him active instead of Najee Harris in the three-back rotation; Singletary's skill set is better suited to Nagy's offensive scheme than Harris's physical running style.NegativeInjuryOct 11, 2026
Running back Devin Singletary will be inactive for a third straight week for the Giants, continuing his absence from the lineup.NegativeDepth ChartOct 11, 2026
Singletary is inactive for the Giants-Commanders Week 5 game, affecting running back depth chart availability.NegativeRoleOct 8, 2026
Giants veteran RB Devin Singletary has seen a sharp decline in playing time and role; he went from 25 snaps in Week 1 to 15 in Week 2 to being inactive in Weeks 3 and 4. Coach John Harbaugh said Singletary wants to play and the team still values him, but the three active backs (Harris, Skattebo, Tracy) have defined roles in the gameplan that could change.NegativeDepth ChartOct 4, 2026
Running back Devin Singletary is inactive for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals, with Tyrone Tracy serving as the third back in his absence. This represents a depth chart shift that opens additional opportunity for Tracy in the Giants' backfield.NegativeDepth ChartSep 27, 2026
Devin Singletary is a surprise inactive for the Giants in Week 3, opening the door for Cam Skattebo, Najee Harris, and Tyrone Tracy to handle running back duties.NegativeDepth ChartSep 19, 2026
It's entirely possible that Devin Singletary could continue to be the Giants' secondary back, behind Cam Skattebo, following Tyrone Tracy's benching in Week 1.PositiveUsageSep 15, 2026
Singletary was featured in the Giants' second-half offensive sequence, benefiting from Nagy's play-calling that attacked soft leverage. After a blown screen play, Nagy used attention paid to Nabers to find Singletary in space, showcasing the offensive coordinator's ability to create favorable situations for the running back.PositiveUsageSep 15, 2026
Singletary was featured in the Giants' second-half offensive sequence exploiting vulnerable flats. The source highlights a Singletary sequence where the Giants' coaching staff, Dart, and team kept attacking soft leverage in the flat while Dallas stayed at depth and kept multiple pairs of eyes on Malik Nabers. Dart used the attention paid to Nabers to find Singletary in space, demonstrating the Giants' ability to layer their play-calling and create opportunities in the flat.PositiveRoleSep 15, 2026
Singletary scored a 9-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter and touched the ball on four consecutive plays leading to the two-score lead; the source credits Nagy with identifying a vulnerability in Dallas' flat coverage and repeatedly attacking it with Singletary, demonstrating his value as a receiving back in the Giants' offensive scheme.PositiveRoleSep 14, 2026
Singletary earned a 71.7 PFF grade, catching swing passes from Dart and scoring a touchdown. He had 6 rushing attempts but his main contribution was in the passing game.PositiveRoleSep 14, 2026

Singletary became a big part of the fourth-quarter offense in Week 1 as Skattebo took a breather. He touched the football on four consecutive plays midway through the fourth quarter, including a nine-yard touchdown reception. Singletary finished with six carries for 16 yards and four catches for 22 yards, showing increased involvement late in the game.PositiveRoleSep 14, 2026
Singletary was praised by Harbaugh as one of the most consistent players he's been around, and delivered on that reputation with 6 carries for 16 yards plus 4 catches for 22 yards, including a 9-yard TD catch to extend the Giants' lead to two touchdowns midway through the fourth quarter. He doesn't do anything spectacular but consistently contributes in multiple roles.PositiveDepth ChartSep 13, 2026
Devin Singletary is one of three active running backs for the Giants against the Cowboys, alongside Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy, with Najee Harris inactive.NegativeRoleSep 8, 2026

During training camp, Harbaugh lauded Singletary's consistency. While not speedy, Singletary's reliability in executing assignments is valued by the coaching staff.NegativeDepth ChartAug 29, 2026
Devin Singletary did not dress for the Giants' preseason game against the Jets on Friday, when Tracy was injured. This depth chart context is relevant given Tracy's injury status.NegativeDepth ChartAug 29, 2026

Devin Singletary capitalized on the Giants' strong point of attack against Miami in preseason Week 2 by bouncing a run outside for a 13-yard touchdown scamper. The source notes the running back room is an interesting conversation point with Singletary factoring into the competition alongside Tyrone Tracy Jr. and the signing of Najee Harris.NegativeDepth ChartAug 25, 2026
Devin Singletary appears on the second-team depth chart at running back, sharing that tier with Tyrone Tracy and Najee Harris.PositiveDepth ChartAug 25, 2026
Singletary outperformed Tyrone Tracy Jr. in preseason action, logging eight carries for 40 yards and a touchdown compared to Tracy's six carries for 26 yards. Singletary may have played his way into the No. 3 spot on the depth chart.NegativeDepth ChartAug 24, 2026
Singletary is projected as a lock to make the Giants' 53-man roster at running back.PositiveRoleAug 23, 2026
Singletary graded 64.7 and had a nice game, appearing to solidify his spot on the roster.PositiveRoleAug 23, 2026
Singletary is viewed as a lock to make the 53-man roster. The source notes his reliability is clearly something new head coach John Harbaugh appreciates, citing Harbaugh's postgame praise: 'He did great. He played like he always plays. He is one of the most consistent players you're ever going to see.' Singletary gained 40 yards on eight carries with a 13-yard touchdown run against Miami, reinforcing his standing as a secure roster contributor.PositiveRoleAug 23, 2026
The eighth-year running back continues to make plays and be dependable—qualities John Harbaugh will value. Singletary made a terrific cutback on his 13-yard touchdown run and finished with 40 yards rushing on eight carries, demonstrating he remains a reliable contributor despite not being a burner.PositiveRoleAug 22, 2026
Singletary gained 40 yards on eight carries including a TD where he bounced a run outside from the Miami 13 and showed the quickness to get around the corner; he was a prime cut candidate entering 2026 but agreed to a pay cut from $6.5M to $2.845M, and his performance suggests he may hold a roster spot ahead of Tracy despite being less spectacular.PositiveUsageAug 22, 2026
Singletary ran decisively and found holes on under center runs, looking good and capping off a drive with a 13-yard touchdown run. He finished with eight carries for 40 yards with a touchdown and one catch for four yards, demonstrating effective execution in the Giants' dominant offensive performance.NegativeRoleAug 22, 2026
Singletary is dependable but is not a guy the Giants want to build a ground game around. This assessment is part of the source's explanation for why the Giants signed Najee Harris to upgrade the running back room's playmaking ability.NegativeRoleAug 18, 2026
Devin Singletary is competent but is simply depth at this point and shouldn't be drafted in typical leagues. The source does not recommend him for redraft fantasy.PositiveUsageAug 15, 2026

At age 29, had only returned four kickoffs before the 2025 season but returned 12 kickoffs for the Giants last season, averaging a solid 26.1 yards per return. Using Singletary in that role is probably not Plan A, but he has shown he can do the job adequately if needed.
