PositiveBreakoutNov 6, 2026
Singletary was last seen rushing for the walk-off 30-yard overtime touchdown against the Texans after Tracy and Skattebo were injured. His unexpected opportunity represents a full-circle moment after being signed in 2024 as the immediate response to losing Saquon Barkley to the Eagles but ultimately being pushed aside by Tracy. He took a pay cut to the veteran minimum to stay with the Giants for a third season, stating, 'We've been through these hard past two years, why would I leave when it's about to get good? I want to be a part of this.' His professionalism during the benching and subsequent opportunity exemplifies what offensive coordinator Matt Nagy called 'a story for young kids, it's a story for vets, to be patient, to understand things happen for a reason.'PositiveProjectionNov 6, 2026
Singletary has had three 800-plus-yard seasons in his career and is confident he can still carry the load with 'fresh' legs. His single-game high since joining the Giants is 16 carries (most recent in Week 11 of last season). He stated, 'I know what I can do. I want to be able to display that.' The Eagles rank No. 28 in rushing defense, providing a favorable matchup for a workhorse opportunity.PositiveRoleNov 6, 2026
With Cam Skattebo (hamstring) doubtful, Tyrone Tracy Jr. on injured reserve, and Najee Harris no longer on the roster, Singletary is likely to feature as the Giants' lead running back Sunday against the Eagles. This marks a dramatic shift from being a healthy scratch fourth-stringer for three consecutive games on Oct. 11. Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy praised his professionalism during the benching, noting he 'never became negative' and was 'as great of a professional player as there was.' Head coach John Harbaugh later admitted he made a mistake demoting Singletary. Running backs coach Willie Taggart expressed confidence, saying 'you can put him in there and not be nervous of him not knowing what to do.'PositiveRoleNov 6, 2026
If Skattebo cannot play, Devin Singletary will be the Giants' primary running back against the Eagles. With Skattebo doubtful and having missed four straight practices, Singletary is positioned to handle lead-back duties in a key divisional matchup.PositiveProjectionNov 6, 2026
Singletary, 29, has 1,100+ career carries and 5,000+ NFL rushing yards. Head coach John Harbaugh said Singletary's lack of playing time was 'on me' and that he was 'the odd man out' through no fault of his own, telling him 'your time will come.' Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy praised Singletary's professionalism during the benching period, noting he 'never became negative' and 'was as great of a professional player as there was,' suggesting Nagy and Harbaugh have high confidence in his ability to produce when given opportunities.PositiveRoleNov 6, 2026
After being inactive Weeks 3-5 and carrying only 13 times in Weeks 1-2 and 6 during a four-man backfield competition, Singletary scored the game-winning overtime touchdown against Houston in Week 7 on the final play. With Tyrone Tracy on IR (hamstring) and Cam Skattebo potentially unable to play Sunday against the Eagles, Singletary is likely to be the lead back going forward.PositiveRoleNov 6, 2026
Singletary is entrenched as the clear-cut backup to Skattebo and would get a lion's share of New York's backfield workload if Skattebo cannot play. The 29-year-old veteran is in his third season with the Giants and has played sparingly to date with 80 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries. He produced exactly 437 rushing yards in each of his first two seasons with the Giants while serving largely as a backup or third-string option, and posted three seasons with at least 1,000 scrimmage yards from 2021-23.PositiveProjectionNov 6, 2026
Scott Pianowski predicts Singletary tops 100 yards or scores a touchdown in Week 9. Pianowski notes the Eagles are an injured and bad football team that can't stop anything on defense (25th in DVOA run defense, 23rd in DVOA pass defense). Singletary is an ordinary back but likely the last man standing with Cam Skattebo hurt. The Giants would prefer J.J. McCarthy manage the game rather than dominate it, especially if Malik Nabers isn't 100%. Volume hunting is a big part of the fantasy equation, and Singletary is positioned to be a volume win in Week 9. He's lagging as a mid-30s RB in industry ECR but should correct in the next few days.PositiveRoleNov 6, 2026
Singletary is positioned as a primary option in the Giants' backfield against the Eagles, with Tyrone Tracy on injured reserve and Cam Skattebo's status uncertain due to hamstring injury. The source notes the Eagles' run defense is decidedly mediocre with high Run Stop Win Rate but average YPC and high rushing EPA allowed (+11.45, 28th in the NFL), suggesting they're prone to giving up explosive plays on the ground. Singletary scored the game-winning 30-yard touchdown run against the Texans and figures to see increased volume.PositiveUsageNov 6, 2026
Singletary scored the walk-off touchdown in the Giants' overtime win against the Texans and is now under pressure to deliver as the primary running back with Tyrone Tracy Jr. on IR and Cam Skattebo dealing with a hamstring issue that could make him a game-time decision.NegativeRoleNov 6, 2026
Singletary is listed as a backup option for the Giants if Cam Skattebo is unavailable due to his hamstring injury heading into Week 9.PositiveRoleNov 5, 2026
If Cam Skattebo cannot play Sunday against Philadelphia, Devin Singletary is on the 53-man roster and positioned to receive carries in the Giants' backfield. Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy emphasized the importance of maintaining the run game regardless of personnel: 'It's going to be the utmost importance to keep the run game going. You can't be one dimensional and just be dropping back, throwing. You've got to be able to keep that run game going. So, no matter who's back there with the carries, we've got to be efficient with the run game.'NegativeRoleNov 5, 2026
The source raises concern that the Giants may only have Devin Singletary in the backfield for their Week 9 matchup at Philadelphia, suggesting limited depth or uncertainty in the running back room.PositiveRoleNov 4, 2026

Devin Singletary, who has 18 carries this season, is positioned as potentially the last man standing from the Giants' original backfield on Sunday against Philadelphia, given injuries to Tracy and Skattebo and the lack of a trade acquisition.PositiveRoleNov 3, 2026
Should Skattebo sit out due to his hamstring injury, Singletary will receive an extended opportunity in the Giants' backfield against Philadelphia.NegativeRoleNov 3, 2026
Singletary provides depth in the Giants backfield but offers nothing close to the explosive ability and consistency that Jonathan Taylor would bring, making him insufficient as a primary option.PositiveRoleNov 3, 2026
With Cam Skattebo dealing with hamstring tightness and Tyrone Tracy Jr. out for four games, Devin Singletary is one of only two healthy rushers on the Giants' 53-man roster, positioning him for increased opportunity in the backfield.PositiveRoleNov 2, 2026
Devin Singletary is worth a roster spot; with Tyrone Tracy Jr. on IR and Cam Skattebo straining his hamstring at the end of Week 7, Singletary should be in for more work on a productive rushing offense.PositiveRoleNov 2, 2026

Devin Singletary is part of a capable trio of Giants running backs (alongside Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy) that has delivered solid performances this year, notably against the Dallas Cowboys, Tennessee Titans, and Houston Texans. The source argues that this grinding unit is sufficient and the Giants don't need a premium running back acquisition.NegativeRoleNov 1, 2026
Devin Singletary is part of the New York Giants' backfield alongside Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy (on IR with hamstring injury), and Gregory Desrosiers. The Giants like their current backfield composition, though head coach John Harbaugh has expressed desire for a top-tier bellcow back since the offseason.PositiveRoleOct 31, 2026

Devin Singletary is part of the Giants' current running back trio alongside Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy, but new Giants head coach John Harbaugh has coveted a 'bellcow' running back, suggesting the team views the current backfield as lacking a true lead option.NegativeRoleOct 30, 2026
Singletary is part of the Giants' current running back room alongside Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy. The group is described as tight-knit, as evidenced by their chemistry at the end of the victory over the Houston Texans. A potential Tony Pollard acquisition would upgrade the position over Singletary's current production.PositiveRoleOct 30, 2026
Singletary was inactive for three games but never complained to the media. After the release of Najee Harris, the benching of Skattebo, and Tracy's injury, he was thrust back into the rotation and delivered against the Texans with a terrific 30-yard run for the game-winning score.PositiveUsageOct 28, 2026
Former Texan Devin Singletary had a bounce-back game against his former team, combining with Cam Skattebo for 165 rushing yards and two touchdowns on just 22 carries.

Singletary scored the game-winning 30-yard touchdown run in the Giants' 27-21 overtime victory over Houston, moving the team to 4-2-1 record. The source notes this was a decisive scoring play that ended the game.PositiveRoleOct 26, 2026
The source notes that while Singletary has never been spectacular in any one facet, he is competent in every area and has consistently run with good patience and vision, allowing him to make use of his quickness and agility; on the final play of the game, he temped his run to give blockers time to lock in, influenced defenders' angles with subtle pathing adjustments, and survived incidental contact with good contact balance to reach the end zone.PositiveUsageOct 26, 2026
Singletary had 41 yards and a touchdown on five carries (6.2 yards per carry) plus 14 yards on three catches in the Giants' dominant running game performance against the Texans; he capped the game with a 30-yard touchdown run on the final play.NegativeRoleOct 26, 2026
Singletary becomes the lead back option for New York if Tyrone Tracy (hamstring) and Cam Skattebo (hamstring) cannot get healthy through the bye week.

Devin Singletary is featured prominently in the Giants' offensive identity as they enter their bye week atop the NFC East after defeating Houston in overtime in Week 7. The Giants' playoff positioning and momentum heading into the bye suggests Singletary will remain a key part of the team's offensive scheme going forward.NegativeRoleOct 26, 2026
Singletary scored a touchdown in the Giants' Week 7 win over the Texans, but Cam Skattebo has emerged as the lead back with the best shot at consistency going forward.NegativeRoleOct 26, 2026
With Najee Harris cut and both Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy suffering hamstring injuries in the Giants' win over the Texans, Singletary was the last healthy option and cashed in with a 30-yard touchdown run in overtime. He doesn't hit must-roster territory and shouldn't be stashed into the Week 8 bye, but there's a non-zero chance he's part of a rotation in Week 9 against the Eagles, especially if Tracy remains out. With the Giants using J.J. McCarthy to help control the running game, the backfield has more upside than it did with Jameis Winston.PositiveRoleOct 26, 2026
Running back Devin Singletary scored the walk-off 30-yard touchdown run in overtime against Houston, providing the game-winning score. The Giants had passed up a 55-yard field goal attempt in the second half, but Singletary's rushing touchdown eliminated the need for further kicking attempts.NegativeRoleOct 26, 2026

Singletary handled five carries for 41 yards and scored on a 30-yard run at the end of regulation to win the game; pending the health of Skattebo and Tracy, Singletary could be in for a larger role for the Giants coming out of their bye week.PositiveUsageOct 25, 2026

Devin Singletary was one of four different Giants running backs to score a rushing touchdown in the 27-21 overtime victory against New Orleans, marking the first time since 1950 the team achieved this feat in a single game.

Singletary should receive his touches in the Giants' rushing attack under J.J. McCarthy. The source notes McCarthy's ability to run will lighten boxes for the Giants' struggling rushing attack, and Singletary is identified as one of the running backs who should be involved in the offense.NegativeUsageOct 22, 2026
McCarthy's first pass of the game was a dump-off to Devin Singletary that went for 19 yards into Saints territory, showing early reliance on short passing to the running back.NegativeUsageOct 22, 2026
Devin Singletary played the most snaps for the Giants in Week 6 alongside Tyrone Tracy, but true patterns are difficult to spot given the game got out of hand; he can only be trusted as a low-end FLEX at best amid backfield uncertainty.PositiveUsageOct 21, 2026
Devin Singletary was the first target for J.J. McCarthy when McCarthy entered the Giants game, receiving a swing pass into the right flat that he turned into a 19-yard gain. This suggests Singletary remains a key outlet in the Giants offense.NegativeUsageOct 20, 2026
Singletary received four carries for 14 yards in Week 6 loss to Saints, part of a Giants running-back-by-committee approach that saw three different backs carry the ball (Harris 4 carries for 2 yards, Singletary 4 for 14 yards, Tyrone Tracy Jr. 6 for 18 yards).NegativeUsageOct 20, 2026

Devin Singletary remains on the Giants' running back depth chart following the release of Najee Harris. With Harris removed from the rotation, Singletary is positioned as one of the primary options at the position for New York.NegativeRoleOct 20, 2026
With Najee Harris released, Devin Singletary is one of the main backs in the Giants' backfield alongside Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr. The Giants' running back situation remains in flux following Skattebo's Week 5 fumble and Harris's departure.NegativeUsageOct 20, 2026
Singletary received four carries in the Giants' loss to the Saints as part of a committee approach that has failed to produce; the Giants ran 14 times for 34 yards total. Harbaugh indicated no back has earned a featured role, stating the running backs must 'do something' to earn more opportunities.NegativeUsageOct 20, 2026
Singletary has 13 carries for 39 yards (3.0 yards per carry) in the Giants' four-way running back timeshare. The Giants' run game has struggled overall, ranking 22nd in the NFL at 3.8 yards per carry, with Harbaugh stating that none of the four backs have yet earned the opportunity to be the featured back.NegativeUsageOct 20, 2026
Singletary is part of a four-back committee (with Tracy, Skattebo, Harris) that combined for only 14 carries for 34 yards against the Saints' No. 30 rushing defense; the Giants' run game ranks No. 22 with 3.8 yards per carry, and Harbaugh emphasized the running back room has not earned a bell-cow role.NegativeUsageOct 19, 2026
Singletary played 40% of the snaps in Week 6 but turned five touches into just 33 yards, failing to make a strong case for lead-back role in the Giants' committee approach.PositiveUsageOct 19, 2026
Singletary showed improved effectiveness when the Giants adjusted their offensive alignment and play-calling in the fourth quarter with J.J. McCarthy at quarterback. On a notable 9-yard run early in the fourth quarter, Singletary lined up even with McCarthy in shotgun formation, creating ambiguity for Saints defenders about whether McCarthy would run, pass, or hand off; this hesitation among Saints linebackers and safeties allowed Giants blockers to establish and lock in their blocks. The source notes that Singletary needs to be more patient letting blocks develop and willing to hit holes decisively, but the alignment adjustment and threat of the quarterback run game created a more dynamic rushing attack.NegativeUsageOct 19, 2026
Singletary was brought into the mix in Week 5 against New Orleans after Harbaugh said 'Motor really hasn't had a chance to take the bull by the horns.' He carried the ball four times for limited production. NextGenStats data shows Singletary was 0 yards over expected (14 expected, 14 actual). The source notes Singletary shows better tempo as a runner and the Giants use him from more varied formations than Harris and Skattebo.
